Yet another documentary is dusting off the ongoing tension between Prince William and Prince Harry. According to The Sun, the dramatically titled and “well-sourced” French documentary Red Line: William and Harry, the Enemy Brothers (uh, what is chill?) explores the feud between Wills and Harry—and dives into a particularly explosive argument they apparently had over the unverified bullying allegations against Meghan (which she has firmly denied).
Per royal author Pierrick Geais, “William, who already didn’t like his sister-in-law very much, became furious. He called Harry directly, and Harry slammed the phone down. Harry didn’t want to know anything, and so William jumped in a car toward Kensington Palace, where he was going to confront Prince Harry.”
Previous reports claim William wasn’t particularly down with the Sussexes’ relationship from the beginning. In fact, Robert Lacey reported in his book Battle of Brothers that William questioned Harry’s relationship with Meghan and couched his rude comments with “concern.”
“William worried that his brother was moving too fast in his courtship—and he did not shrink from saying as much when Harry started talking about getting hitched to Meghan quite soon,” Lacey wrote via People, adding, “According to another source on this crucial and much-reported confrontation between the brothers that occurred sometime in late 2016 or early 2017, William couched his question in terms of apparent concern for Meghan. Harry could not help but wonder whether Wills was really concerned about his personal happiness—or whether he was, once again and as per usual, thinking about the makeup and fortunes of ‘the Firm,’ whose boss he would become one day? The response from Harry was a brusque and offended pushback.”
I mean, can you blame him?!
