The rift between Prince William and Prince Harry is the latest example of how personal conflict can distract popular attention around the Royal Family and what they are doing in and out of the public eye.Prince Harry, left, and Prince William stand during the unveiling of a statue they commissioned of their late mother Diana, the former Princess of Wales, in the Sunken Garden at Kensington Palace in London on July 1, 2021.
"We see this personal estrangement between the two brothers trickling into articles about otherwise unrelated topics," Toronto-based royal author and historian Carolyn Harris said in an interview. "But all of the headlines, unless he was being interviewed for the National Geographic, tended to emphasize the breakdown of his marriage to Diana, Princess of Wales.""It seems pretty total," said Craig Prescott, a constitutional expert and lecturer in law at Royal Holloway, University of London, in an interview.
"Their entire life cycle has unfolded in the public eye," Harris said. "There are many people who speak of them as though they're people they know."Diana, the former Princess of Wales, smiles as she sits with her sons, Princes Harry, front, and William, on the steps of the Royal Palace on the island of Mallorca, Spain, on Aug. 9, 1987. was published, there were a lot of opinion pieces written about adult brothers and how they relate to each other.
Already, there has been discussion about whether Harry would be invited to William's coronation when the time comes, even to sit in the back row. "And so I think it's a sense of getting out perhaps those more awkward stories and then they're out there, they're done."King Charles, centre right, speaks to an employee during a visit to City Shamba, an urban farming project, at Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital in Nairobi on Oct. 31, 2023. Travel by the Royal Family increased in 2023-2024, according to the Sovereign Grant report.
"The only reason the price tag for the royals is so high is because the monarchy is corrupt. They abuse the taxpayer's trust day in, day out, taking our money to spend on their own private lifestyles."Solar panels have been installed at Windsor Castle as part of sustainability initiatives by the monarchy, the Sovereign Grant report says. "I suppose the benefit of it all is that there is an element of transparency. You do get this report.
That there is a reduction is in some ways unsurprising. Both King Charles and Catherine, Princess of Wales, were out of the public eye while receiving treatment for cancer. Charles has resumed many public-facing duties, but Catherine's public appearances have been rare in recent months — just Trooping the Colour in June and Wimbledon in July.
Prescott doesn't think this past year's reduction in the number of engagements has had an impact. But that could change down the road.
