British Royal News: Was Prince William Really That Jealous Of Prince Harry And His Invictus Games Idea?
British Royal News suggests that there could only be one royal brother in the spotlight, apparently. Prince Harry alleges in his new book, Spare, that his brother Prince William was left quite envious of the fact that the now highly successful Invictus Games was actually the Duke of Sussex’s brainchild. Here’s what you need to know.
British Royal News: Was Prince William Really That Jealous Of Prince Harry And His Invictus Games Idea?
In his book, Harry says that William became “supremely irritated” and complained that the funds needed for the Invictus Games would drain his account. Harry went on to say that his brother’s worries were absurd and that any financing needed would come from the Endeavor Fund, a branch he “created specifically for the rehabilitation of veterans,” as well as donors.
Harry writes, “I covered my eyes with my hands. Had we not gotten over that? All of that stuff about the Heir versus the replacement? Were we not a bit too old for that tiring, child-like dynamic? He was married and had a baby on the way. Meanwhile, I would order food alone and do my dishes in front of the sink. My father’s sink! I still lived with my dad, [King Charles III]. The game is over, man. You win.”
Of course, many royal fans and critics alike have weighed in on the matter with, “It certainly explains why Cambridge/Wales supporters were demanding William be given Invictus when Harry decided to step down. They were foaming at the mouth, believing Invictus would be stripped from Harry. They were so mad when they were reminded that Invictus is Harry’s baby and would always be his,” along with, “This also puts Earthshot into context – context we all knew, but so many didn’t. William really was like ‘I want a big shiny thing like Harry has.’ This also explains the lack of royal support at Invictus games after the first one.”

Another critic wrote, “It’s bad enough that William, a grown-ass man, insists upon perpetuating this petty, juvenile sibling rivalry, but the context makes it so much worse. Imagine getting all pouty and petulant over a charity event that helps and honors men and women who served their countries, just because it doesn’t revolve around you!”
