Prince William and Prince Harry's rift grew even deeper when William asked their uncle, Princess Diana's younger brother Charles Spencer, to intervene.
Lacey explains William and Harry's very different attitudes to their love lives. William reportedly treated Kate like a potential recruit to an extremely exclusive role, taking almost a decade to fully commit because he"had been auditioning her for a job all those years." A decidedly unromantic take on marriage, no?
Thus, when things between Harry and Meghan moved quicker than the positively glacial pace of his relationship with Kate, William told his younger brother to"slow down.
According to Lacey, William then turned to Charles Spencer for help."From time to time Diana's younger brother had played something of an honorary godfather to both boys in the years since the death of their mother, and their uncle agreed with William to see what he could do," the historian writes. Alas, it didn't exactly work as planned:"The result of the Spencer intervention was an even more bitter explosion. Once again Harry refused to slow down.
Harry didn't blame Spencer for stepping in: Lacey writes,"He understood why Diana's brother should want to help. Yet he was furious with his elder brother for dragging other family members into the row." The result of the"Spencer intervention"? The"anger and mistrust—that distance—has lasted to the present day." So...not exactly a success, then?
