Prince William’s hidden tribute to brother Harry in emotional royal video

There was a time when Prince William and Prince Harry’s brotherly bond seemed unbreakable. But following Harry’s departure from royal life and his ongoing criticism of his family, a bitter feud has developed between the pair that shows no sign of resolution.

So royal fans were surprised to spot a subtle nod to Harry in William’s home in a behind the scenes video taken at the time of King Charles’s Coronation.

In one fleeting shot, William and Kate’s daughter Princess Charlotte can be seen running through the family’s living room at Kensington Palace. As she passes by, a piano can be seen in the background with a number of photos displayed on the top – and one of them caught the attention of eagle-eyed viewers.

The black and white image shows a young William and Harry hugging their late mother, Princess Diana. It was taken for Diana’s 1995 Christmas card, one year before she divorced King Charles, then Prince of Wales, and two years before her untimely death at the age of 36.

Once the clip hit TikTok, fans saw what they interpreted as William’s nod to his brother and wished that the two would resolve their differences. “I honestly wish Harry and William could come together. Diana would be devastated,” someone wrote on the social media platform.

Furthermore, William and Princess Kate joined the King in acknowledging Harry’s 40th birthday in September.

However, while some hoped that it was an indicator of the pair rebuilding their relationship, it’s thought it was just the result of the late Queen’s royal order. According to InStyle , Richard Palmer, a royal correspondent and commentator, stated that in 2022, the Queen decreed that non-working royals’ birthdays would be celebrated (in this case marked on social media) if they end in a zero.
