  • Prince William could learn a thing or two from Queen Elizabeth
  • Prince William shares similarities with Queen Elizabeth
  • Prince Harry is more similar to Princess Margaret 

Prince William could reportedly learn a thing or two from Queen Elizabeth on how to keep his brother, Prince Harry, in line when he falters.

In an article for The Telegraph, author Harry Mount likened Prince William and Prince Harry’s relationship to that of the Queen and Princess Margaret. He also said that the Duke of Cambridge is similar to his grandmother because they are both calm, dutiful, and sensible.

Prince Harry, on the other hand, was more like Princess Margaret because they are both wild, chaotic, and drawn to the limelight.

“Even though the older sister had the power to command her younger sister to do or not to do something, they remained extremely close to each other until Princess Margaret’s death in 2002. Their relationship had been rooted in a secure upbringing with their parents, George VI and Queen Elizabeth,” he said.

Following their uncle’s abdication in 1936, it became apparent that Princess Margaret’s older sister will become queen. But even with this important role, the royal siblings’ relationship remained untarnished.

Unfortunately, Prince William wasn’t able to maintain a close relationship with Prince Harry. In fact, there are claims that the royal siblings have been at odds with each other ever since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex started dating.

Before Prince Harry and Markle’s royal wedding took place, reports revealed that Prince William tried to talk his brother out of tying the knot that soon. However, Prince William’s advice did not sit well with Prince Harry who thought that his brother was being unsupportive.

Since then, reports continued to swirl that Prince William and Prince Harry are feuding and their respective wives were also dragged into the picture.

Weeks after Prince Harry and Markle announced their bombshell exit, Prince William has not released a statement revealing his real thoughts on the matter.
