Prince William Snubbed Prince Harry’s Hug Attempt After Polo Match, Expert Says

Prince William may have snubbed Prince Harry’s attempt hug after a polo game, according to one expert.

There are rumors that Prince William and Prince Harry are feuding. Many noticed that their actions lately were very different from how they were before the Duke of Sussex married Meghan Markle.

However, the fab four ignored the rumors by attending the same engagements together. Last week, the fab four reunited at a charity polo match where Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s sons played for competing teams.

Prince William’s team won. However, many noticed that when Prince Harry attempted to hug Prince William, the latter didn’t reciprocate his younger brother’s effort.

“It still looks uneasy with William not exactly reciprocating by stretching his arm out back to form a mutual part-hug but it's the best we've seen from them for a while and looks as though Harry's keen to make-up,” body language expert Judi James told Daily Star.

Many believed that their polo match was a good opportunity to show unity. Although Prince William’s reaction to Prince Harry’s attempt hug was unexpected, the expert believed that it was the closest they have been in months. There was a “subtle return” to their close relationship as siblings.

“As they stand behind and to either side of the woman in the front, William clasps his hands behind his back in a controlled-looking gesture, but it’s Harry who leans across with both arms splayed wide to produce what might have been a herding gesture to get them both posing in line, but which looks like a mimed hug, suggesting some rekindled warmth that has been prompted by Harry,” the expert continued.

James noted how Prince William smiled and how the two princes exchanged a few words as they always used to. However, she pointed how Prince Harry appeared to be taking in charge as he directed his older brother to stand close to him.

A few weeks ago, Prince William and Kate Middleton attended the baptism of Prince Harry and Markle’s son, Archie. However, netizens slammed the second in line to the throne because in the official photos, he looked sour and unhappy. Some called Prince William “rude” and “disrespectful” because he appeared as if he didn’t want to be there.
