Reports of differences between Prince William and Harry started after their joint royal office was dissolved, AP reported. The relationship between the brothers was further strained after Harry and Meghan gave an interview to Oprah Winfrey.

In the interview, the couple mentioned that before the birth of their first child, an unidentified member of the royal family had expressed concern about the skin colour of the unborn infant. After a few days, Prince William responded to their statement and mentioned that the Windsor house was “very much not a racist family.”
