Prince William and Princess Kate Had Very Different Opinions on Prince Harry's Resignation

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the Prince and Princess of Wales celebrate the Centenary of the RAF.
  • A new royal biography documents Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's resignation, reporting that Prince William and Princess Kate had different views on it.
  • "Catherine had less interest than her husband in trying to persuade Harry to stay in his current role," Russell Myers reported in a recently published excerpt of William and Catherine: The Monarchy's New Era: The Inside Story.
  • "William was intensely saddened at his brother’s decision to quit," Myers continued. "He and Harry had been drifting apart for years, but now he knew deep down that there would be no turning back."

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down from royal life and relocated to California in 2020. And in the years that followed, their relationship with the Mountbatten-Windsors - and particularly the Prince and Princess of Wales - has become increasingly strained.
