Prince William ‘commands respect’ amid Harry fued

A royal commentator has claimed that Prince William “commands respect” amid his ongoing feud with his younger brother Prince Harry.

Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond described the heir to the throne as a “strong character” who has “always” been this way.

“I think his broken childhood made him tough and resolute,” she told OK! magazine. “He now has the reputation of being stubborn and, once his mind is made up, he sticks to his decision.

“He is definitely someone who commands respect within the family and whose views hold considerable sway.

“Obviously, as heir to the throne, his word carries a lot of weight in the family and I think it’s true that he has been prepared to take a tough stand on a number of issues, including [Princes] Andrew and Harry.”

Prince Harry ‘hurt by the backlash over his award nomination’

Prince Harry is reportedly “hurt” by the backlash over his receipt of an award for veterans.

The Duke of Sussex, 39, accepted the Pat Tillman Award for his work with the Invictus Games at a ceremony in Los Angeles last week, telling the audience that it belonged to everyone involved with Invictus.

But before this, tens of thousands of people signed a petition urging ESPN to “rethink” its decision to give Harry the award.

The late Mr Tillman’s mother, Mary, also expressed her confusion at the decision to give it to the duke, describing him as a “controversial and divisive individual”.

“This has been such a tough few months for Meghan and Harry and the pressure they are under is a lot to handle, they feel they are constantly under attack,” an insider revealed to OK! magazine.

“Harry has been really hurt by the backlash over his award nomination and Meghan is still reeling over the Spotify axe as she loved doing that podcast and she knows people want her to fail with her next project so there’s quite a lot of tension in the house at the moment.”
