They both need to put in the effort to rebuild their relationship,” the insider told Us Weekly, adding things are “not great” for the royal brothers at the moment.

“There’s always been a part of Harry that felt like he was living in his brother’s shadow,” continues the insider. “He doesn’t envy the responsibility that comes with being the future king of England, but William’s the ‘golden boy’ and Harry feels like he has a lot to live up to.”

The claims come after the Duke of Sussex admitted there was some tension with the Duke of Cambridge in the ITV documentary, Harry & Meghan: An African Journey.

“Part of this role and part of this job, this family, being under the pressure that it’s under, inevitably stuff happens,” he said. “But look, we’re brothers, we’ll always be brothers. We’re certainly on different paths at the moment but I’ll always be there for him and as I know he’ll always be there for me.”
