‘Stuff happens, but we are brothers,’ Prince Harry explained in the viral interview. ‘We will always be brothers. We are certainly on different paths at the moment. But I will always be there for him, as I know he will always be there for me.’

In a rare move, the royal family released a joint statement on behalf of Prince William and Prince Harry.
‘A free, responsible and open press is of vital importance to a healthy democracy,’ the royal family announced in a statement given to the BBC. ‘However, too often it is overblown and unfounded claims from unnamed sources that are presented as facts and it is disappointing when anyone, including the BBC, gives them credibility.’
The royal family has not commented further.
