Harry and Wills relationship - Page 3

Ava Elizabeth · #41 08-16-2005, 04:19 PM

There has been rumours about jealousy, fighting and that the two brothers are so different that they never would have been friends if they were not brothers.
So what do you know/think about their relationship?
Are they as close as they seem or is it only play for the gallery?
Please post pics, quotes and so on.

Well, I personally don't think that they are very close.I mean how many times did Harry visit William when he was away at University?Ofcourse they both love each other but I won't consider them best buddies.When their mother died they both dealt with it differently, indicating that the death had different effect on the boys.I think Harry does look up to William but not in an effort to be like him but rather to be better than him.William has always gotten the attention;from the media, women etc. and I think Harry felt like he had to always prove himself.This kind of feeling doesn't result in admiration but instead many times in resentment.:)

Like many siblings, you get what you get, instead of what you'd like!

I don't think they are very much alike in temperament.

And while Harry might envy the extra attention William receives, William probably feels some envy that Harry is going to have the ability to choose his vocation and lifestyle to a greater extent.

But they are the only two young men who really understand what it is like to be princes, Diana's sons and the attraction of so much attention. That has to create some common bond.

I agree with most of what you say. I think they are very close, we both agree that they delt with their mothers death differently (mainly because of the age difference), but after her death they had to lean on each other. Can you imagine the bond and friendship they must have built during that difficult time. Will said in an interview that it took 7 hours to get home from St. Andrews, and they talked on the phone all of the time. Harry was still in school during most of time Will was at college.
Both boys have always been competative with each other, but they are boys that is a natural thing.

True.I guess they only had each other in those difficult times.But I think as have grown up you could that they are getting farther apart.Did Kate meet formaly with Harry as she is meeting with the rest of the family?How about Chelsy?If the boys truley are close,Harry should've been the first person to meet Kate.I do agree with you about both of them leaning on each other when their mother passed away.:)

We don't know what their relationship truly is. Diana once said publicly that Harry was much more extroverted and easy-going than William, who tended to be more sensitive and introspective. Like all sibling relationships, I'm sure they've had their fights, but they probably love each other very much and are supportive of the other in general.

Opposites attract right. Will probably enjoys Harry's rebelious behavior.

Hey polop who is in your avitar. It looked like Lauren Bush at a glance but I know its not.

iowabelle · #49 08-16-2005, 11:45 PM

Is polop's avitar Princess Madeleine of Sweden?

No, that's me.(just kidding!)I wish it was me.:p That is Princess Madeleine.

I would assume that they aren't best friends or anything because of their differant personalities. I also would assume William would be prone to lecturing Harry about his misbehavior. However I don't think they're distant or anything. They probably talk on the phone when they get a chance and visit some times.

Ava Elizabeth · #53 08-21-2005, 06:09 AM

I also think that they are quite close, but not best friends. I think they get along very well even though they are very different. Also, we don't know how they REALLY are like, we have only got an impression of what they are like through the media, interwiews and so on. I think Harry looks up to William, and that William in many ways has been quite protective of Harry- especially when they were younger.
At the same time, William very early got the attention from the media and became the Prince Charming while Harry was just seen as the spair-heir, wich I don't think was easy for any of them.
We don't really know them, even though we think we know what they are like.

Their relationship, to me, seems like that of Princess Caroline (William) and Princess Stephanie (Harry) because harry is the more outrageous and scandalous one and william is the dedicated reseerved royal. So i think that perhaps they have a similar relationship like the Monaco sisters. But at the same time, i think that Wills is protective of his brother though, when the need arises. However, i do think that the they get on well, just not got much in common like Caroline and Stephanie. Just my opinion of course

Kate has been around for 3 years, she's been on ski trips with the Wales family. This whole thing about her being introduced to the family is directed at the fact that she's meeting the extended family. Kate met Charles and Harry 2 years ago (if not before) at the Klosters ski trip.

Another note on that topic/reasoning I'm unbelievable close with my sister (she even lived in another country then me for two years) and she wasn't the first to meet any of my serious boyfriends or even the man I'm marrying. I see my sister all the time now, we live in the same state, and I have yet to meet her boyfriend, things have just worked out that he's not available when we hang out. (Mainly because no man wants to go shopping with the two of us-they recognize our shopping trips are all day excursions!

) '

I guess what I'm saying is I don't think it's fair to judge the closeness of William and Harry's relationship off of whether they've met one another's significant others first or not.

I understand what you're saying;I really didn't mean that they both should've been the first people to meet each others girlfriends,but how they have been introduced to one another.(girlfriend and brother):)

Will was probably hesitant to introduce Kate to Harry because he didn't want to scare her away.:p

polop · #58 08-21-2005, 11:31 PM

Oh,come on!He isn't that bad!:p

Hello! I think I am beginning to get the hang of posting! Does anyone have any new photos of Harry or Wills?
