Prince Harry and Prince William are reportedly headed in two different directions, and no one is stopping them!
The 34-year-old father-to-be and 36-year-old King-to-be are allegedly parting ways from a foursome into two separate entities, possibly due in part to the reported rift between their wives Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton, which plagued headlines for nearly a year.

A palace courtier revealed to People:
“It was only going to work until they married — and it went on a while longer than perhaps was originally thought.”
A second source echoed the division between the two couples:
“It’s a shame. There was power in that unity and great strength in the foursome, but I see why it is happening. There is always that tension: trying to do the PR thing and then realizing that they are just real people. They want their own place and their own things.”
These reports shouldn’t come as a huge surprise, as it’s been fairly clear that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been publicly attempting to make themselves known as a couple in their own right, away from the rest of the royal crew.
Recently, the parents-to-be started their own Instagram account away from the Kensington Royal profile they had previously shared with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, announcing on the new profile:
“Welcome to our official Instagram; we look forward to sharing the work that drives us, the causes we support, important announcements, and the opportunity to shine a light on key issues. We thank you for your support, and welcome you to @sussexroyal.”
How very modern of them!
The fresh ‘gram comes as reports continue to flood in of the newlywed’s desire for a quiet country life away from the bustle of Buckingham Palace, while the Queen reportedly keeps Miz Markle from wearing jewelry previously worn by the late Princess Diana, and turned down a request for a new court in their name.

A third insider shared their predictions for the brothers:
“There is never any doubt that they will be there for each other 100 percent and support each other when it matters. Maybe they’ll come back together a little later. It’s another stage in the growing up. Sometimes you have to break away in order to come back.”
Who knows, maybe with the arrival of the new baby will bond the brothers over fatherhood! The parents of Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis are said to have given some parenting 101 lessons already to the expectant parentings.
