Prince William and Prince Harry were once dubbed as compelling and charming following a hilarious incident that took place in Lesotho.

In the book “Harry: Life, Loss, and Love,” royal author Katie Nicholl detailed the royal siblings’ encounter with a snake during their royal tour in 2010. Nicholl also dubbed the tour as Prince William and Prince Harry’s first joint engagement overseas.

“Camera crews from around the world circled William and Harry’s African adventure and when they visited the Mokoloi Nature Reserve in Botswana, there was plenty of joking around for the cameras as they held an eight-foot-long African rock phyton,” Nicholl said.

Prince Harry, who is known as the more playful one, held the phyton up towards his older brother’s face. The gesture shocked the Duke of Cambridge. But the hilarious moment actually happened after the phyton relieved itself on the future King’s shoulder. Prince Harry couldn’t control his laughter, and everyone else presents there laughed with him.

“It was a charming and compelling double act, and the princes, who insisted on being called by their first names, were endearing and appealing. The tour was seen as a milestone for the brothers and generated huge international attention,” she said.

But so many things have changed in Prince William and Prince Harry’s relationship from 2010 up to the present. In fact, there are ongoing rumors suggesting that the royal siblings are not on good terms at the moment.

Prince William attended Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s son Archie’s christening last weekend, and photos emerged of him looking less than thrilled to be there. There was also awkwardness in the air between Markle and Kate Middleton, who looked as though they were strangers in the official christening photograph.

The royal siblings further heightened speculations of a feud when they announced that they should be splitting their households and charities. The Royal Foundation will now be handled by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
