Prince Harry spills Prince William remark that 'I took personally'

Prince Harry once touched upon the moment he felt most distanced by elder brother Prince William.

The Duke of Sussex, who is now estranged from his brother after his sensational exit from the UK in 2020, admitted he was deeply wounded when The Prince of Wales shunned his attempts to bond.

Speaking to Anderson Cooper on CBS's flagship 60 Minutes, Harry began: "My brother and I love each other. I love him deeply."

"There has been a lot of pain between the two of us, especially the last six years. Umm... None of anything that I've written, anything I've included is ever intended to hurt my family."

"But it does give a full picture of the situation as we were growing up, and also squashes this idea that somehow my wife was the one that destroyed the relationship between these two brothers."

Cooper then asked Harry: Even when you were in the same school, in high school, Your brother told you, 'Pretend we don't know each other.'"

Harry replied: "Yeah, and at the time it hurt. I couldn't make sense of it. I was like, 'What do you mean? We're now at the same school'.

"Like, 'I haven't seen you for ages, now we get to hang out together.' He's like, 'No, no, no, when we're at school we don't know each other.' And I took that personally.

"But yes, you're absolutely right, you hit the nail on the head. Like, we had a very similar traumatic experience, and then we— we dealt with it two very different ways."
