• Harry’s glaring comment silenced the room and stopped the argument.
• He told William he would not be King one day and that he could do as he wanted.
• Prince Harry always knew he was going to play second fiddle to William.

Prince Harry was aware that in the Royal Family, his place was always secondary.

Since he was a little boy, the Duke of Sussex was aware that he had always played “second fiddle” to his older brother.

Ken Wharfe, a former bodyguard for Princess Diana, recalled a dispute between the brothers and how Harry’s glaring comment silenced the room.

‘When they were young princes, fighting each other at Kensington Palace, Harry was always the popular guy. He was the one who was referred to as “the magician, the entertainer”,’ Mr Wharfe told Sky News.

‘Both Diana and his father acknowledged that. I think William, at that time, was rather jealous of his younger brother’s popularity.

‘To say that they knew nothing of who they were was, of course, fiction. They knew exactly who they were. And Harry always knew he was going to play second fiddle to his brother in later life.’

Princess Diana attempted to mediate a fight between the brothers when Harry specifically mentioned his future as a royal.

‘Suddenly, when there was peace and quiet Harry leant across and said to William: “It’s all right for you, you’ll be King one day and I won’t. Therefore, I can do what I want”,’ Mr. Wharfe said.
