However, despite their close relationships, friends of the Duke of Sussex have claimed that the 38-year-old felt like a “gooseberry” working alongside his elder brother, William and sister-in-law, Kate. They also claim they fear a reconciliation between the once-close brothers will never happen, particularly since the release of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s explosive docu-series.
It has been reported that Harry felt that way after being made to tag along with William and Kate, who have been marrried since 2011, before he met Meghan.
Harry, William and Kate all received equal credit for their work on the Heads Together mental health project.
The trio were spotted at events for the project by the media, but Harry, at this point, had become fed up of having to tag along with the royal couple.
Speaking of Meghan’s entrance into the Royal Family, a royal source told The Telegraph: “It’s fair to say [Meghan’s] arrival changed things.”

Although Harry and Meghan didn’t reveal any major bomshells against the family in the first three episodes, Harry did take a swipe at William by stating that men in the Royal Family tended to marry women who “fit the mould” rather than for true love.
Meghan met Harry in July 2016 and the couple married less than two years later, in May 2018.
Meghan attended a Heads Together event in February 2018, just three months before the royal wedding, along with Harry and the Prince and Princess of Wales.
It was earlier reported that the two couples appeared to share a “weird exchange” in a previously unearthed clip from the 2018 event.

In the event’s interview, the four were asked if they ever have “any disagreements”.
Prince William replied by saying, “oh yes”.
Before Harry answered by stating, “healthy disagreements”.

In the explosive new docu-series, Harry has been criticised for allowing Meghan to attack Kate.
In one episode, Meghan recalls meeting the Prince and Princess of Wales for the first time.
The Duchess of Sussex claimed that her first meeting with the Waleses made her realise that the Royal Family still maintain a certain level of formality even when no members of the public were around.
The second half, and final three episodes, of Harry and Meghan will air on December 15.
