Prince William makes very rare comments about brother Prince Harry amid family rift

Prince William recalled a transformative childhood moment he shared with his brother, Prince Harry, in his two-part documentary “Prince William: We Can End Homelessness.”

In a clip released Saturday, the royal shared that his interest in the charity project began after his late mother, Princess Diana, took him and his brother to The Passage, a British charity that supports people who are becoming or at risk of homelessness to become homeless.

“My mother took me to The Passage; She took Harry and me there. I must have been 11 at the time, maybe 10,” William said. “I had never been to anything like this before, and I was a little worried about what to expect.”

“My mother went about her business in her usual way, making everyone feel relaxed, laughing and joking with everyone. I remember thinking at the time, “Well, if everyone doesn’t have a house, they’ll all be very sad.” But it was incredible how happy the environment was,” he recalled.

“I remember having some good conversations, playing chess and chatting, and then it dawned on me that there were other people out there who weren’t living the same lives as you.”

William continued, “You know, when you’re really little, you just think that life is what you see in front of you, and you don’t really have the idea of ​​looking at anything else. It’s when you meet people, like I did back then, who put a different perspective in your head and say, “Well, I was living on the streets last night,” and you think, “Woah.” I remember that happening.”

The documentary is believed to be the first time the royal family has spoken publicly about his brother amid their ongoing family rift.

Reports emerged that there was a rift between the Duke of Sussex and his brother “very bad” but not “irreparable” Over the summer, their relationship appeared to hit another snag when Harry requested extra security for him and his family while visiting his home country.

Around the same time, sources also reported that King Charles stopped talking to Harry despite the son’s attempts to check on the monarch’s health after his own diagnosis of cancer.

A royal insider previously told Page Six that the only way for Harry and Charles to reconcile would be for the monarch to marry Harry the increased security clearance he’s been asking for it for years.

“As monarch, he is the ultimate decision maker. That would be the way father and son can reconcile,” the source said.

“Prince William: We Can End Homelessness” airs on ITV in Britain on October 30 and 31.
