Prince William's heartbreaking statement about losing his brother

“I’ve put my arm around my brother all our lives"
  • 13 Jan 2020

Prince William has broken his silence to give a heartbreaking statement about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s departure from the royal family.

William is said to have told a close friend that he can’t “put his arm around” his brother anymore, after Harry and Meghan announced last week that they would be stepping down as senior royals and would be spending the majority of their time in North America.

He revealed his “sadness” over the tense relationship with his younger brother and the splitting of the Royal Family, according to The Sun.

However, The Sunday Times reports the Duke of Cambridge hopes ones day everyone will “play on the team” again.

He said: “I’ve put my arm around my brother all our lives and I can’t do that anymore; we’re separate entities. I’m sad about that.

“All we can do, and all I can do, is try and support them and hope that the time comes when we’re all singing from the same page.”

William’s statement follows news that Meghan has signed a voiceover deal with Disney, who donated her fee to an elephant charity.

Although the Suits actress is said to have completed the work for Disney before news broke that she and Harry had quit their royal duties, some are suggesting she is dipping her toe back into work in Hollywood.

According to The Times, the money raised will go to Elephants Without Borders, an organisation that helps to track and protect the animals from poaching.

The British newspaper added: "However, it also touches on sensitive areas, allowing room for accusations that the couple are cheapening the royal brand and will compromise themselves for money. According to one report, during tense talks before Christmas senior members of the royal family accused the couple of already signing a deal with 'firms including Disney'."
