Did Prince William ‘take a dig’ at absent brother Harry ahead of Philip’s memorial?

Prince William seems to have unknowingly thrown shade on brother Prince Harry, with a royal author claiming that the Duke of Cambridge subtly called his brother out in his latest statement.

According to Express UK, royal biographer Angela Levin has claimed that William’s poignant statement shared upon his return from the royal Caribbean tour included a message for Prince Harry.

In his statement, William addressed the growing republican sentiment in the region, saying: “Catherine and I are committed to service. For us, that’s not telling people what to do. It is about serving and supporting them in whatever way they think best…”

Levin claimed that the “not telling people what to do” comment was actually directed at Prince Harry, who has notably campaigned for several different causes since Megxit.

Speaking on Sky News, Levin said: “I think William’s right, I think that worked very well to say what he felt without telling people what to do - which I thought was also a dig at his brother.”

Levin’s comment came just hours before the royal family congregated, sans Harry, at the Westminster Abbey in London for Prince Philip’s memorial service.
