According to British journalist Robert Jobson, Prince Harry’s remarkable success with the Invictus Games has sparked a touch of sibling rivalry in his brother, Prince William.
During the ABC News special, “Prince Harry’s Mission: Life, Family, and Invictus Games,” Jobson revealed that while the event has been immensely successful, it seems to have left William feeling a tad envious.
“It’s been very successful since its outset,” Jobson commented during the special, which is currently available for streaming on Hulu. “It doesn’t come cheap, it costs a lot of money, and he’s been able to continue to raise that money throughout this period, which is impressive.”

However, Jobson went on to suggest that William may have been taken aback by the extent of Harry’s accomplishments with the Invictus Games. “But I think there was a degree of jealousy about how well it had gone,” the journalist added.
“I do think that William was surprised how much this had been such a success and how much money was being thrown into it and how many governments were getting involved.”
The Invictus Games, established by Prince Harry in 2014, have grown into a high-profile organization. Despite stepping back as working members of the royal family in 2020, Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, have continued their involvement with the Games.
Of course, rumors of a sibling rivalry between the two sons of King Charles and the late Princess Diana are not new. In his upcoming memoir, “Spare,” Harry himself reveals alleged incidents that suggest a potentially serious rift between him and his older brother.
“It all happened so fast,” Harry writes, recounting an alleged physical altercation over disparaging comments he claims Prince William made about Meghan. “He grabbed me by the collar, ripped my necklace, and knocked me to the floor.
“I landed on the dog’s bowl, which cracked under my back, the pieces cutting into me. I lay there for a moment, dazed, then got to my feet and told him to get out.”
While the details of this alleged incident are shocking, it’s important to remember that memoirs often present a subjective perspective. The truth behind the rumored sibling rivalry remains known only to the two princes.
Sibling rivalries are not uncommon, even among the royal family. The pressures and expectations placed upon them can exacerbate tensions and lead to disagreements. However, it’s essential to approach such rumors with a healthy dose of skepticism.
Prince William and Prince Harry have both made significant contributions to various charitable causes and organizations. Each has their unique passions and interests, and it’s natural for their successes to elicit a mix of pride and perhaps a touch of envy.
Ultimately, it’s crucial to remember that behind the headlines and rumors, they are brothers who share a bond that extends beyond their public personas. Like any siblings, they may have their differences, but they also have a shared history and experiences that connect them.
