Prince Harry jokes about ‘challenging’ siblings as hope for William reconciliation is squashed
Prince Harry’s got jokes. The Duke of Sussex reportedly made a dig about difficult siblings amid his strained relationship with his own brother, Prince William, while attending a reception in the UK. According to Hello Magazine, 17-year-old Wellchild award winner Declan Bitme was speaking with Prince Harry ahead of the 2025 Wellchild Awards. And when Bitme told the royal that he has a younger brother, Harry responded, “Does he drive you mad?” When Bitme said they got along fine, Harry cracked, “You know what? Siblings.” After later learning that Bitme and his brother attend the same school, the father of two commented, “That sometimes makes it more challenging.” Prince Harry has been a patron of WellChild, England’s national charity that provides support for seriously ill children since 2007. In his 2023 memoir, Spare, Harry alleged that Will wanted him to act like he didn’t know him when they both attended Eaton College, a private boys onlyly boarding school. He later told Anderson Cooper in an interview for 60 Minutes that it hurt him. Like, I haven’t seen you for ages now. We get to hang out together. He’s like, “No, no, no. When we’re at school, we don’t know each other.” The brothers have been estranged for years, and recent hopes for a reconciliation were squashed just this week. Kensington Palace announced that Prince William will be booked with royal engagements on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday this week. The same days Harry will be in town, according to British outlet GN News.
