A lot of times when I'm writing a post, I'm not looking to be grammatically correct and will write in what I like to call conversational English. I'll use words like y'know and methinks and ain't (which wasn't in the dictionary when I was growing up). To me, it makes the wording sound more personal as if I was talking rather than writing a professional thesis. This is what I saw in Harry's statement. He was talking about someone very close to his heart and that's what came through for me.
Both statements by the brothers were heartfelt and warm and reflective of a very warm and loving relationship with their grandfather. That is really all that matters. For all we know, once Harry landed and was in isolation at Frogmore, he was in contact with William and they *both* agreed to put out a statement around the same time as a show of solidarity in the loss of a beloved grandparent. We don't know. I just think it's a futile effort to try and dig between the lines and pull up things that may or may not actually be there. One thing I do know is that both of Charles' sons had a warm and loving relationship with their grandfather as did *all* of the House of Windsor and that is what is going to be shown over and over and over again in the upcoming days.
The death of a beloved family member tends to pull people together more than it will drive them apart.
