Prince William and Prince Harry, who used to do everything together and attend official engagements together, are likely to put an end to their double act as they no longer depend on one another as they used to as boys.
The two brothers are reportedly set to split paths as the Duke of Cambridge and the Duke of Sussex now respectively have Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle as partners they can count on.
It is also understood that the difference in roles the two are set to take up means the next logical step is to proceed solo, The Mirror reports.
A source close to the brothers and quoted by the Sunday Times said
The brothers have leaned on each other and looked after each other since their mother died. But now they have their own families, they no longer rely on each other as before.
It is understood that William, who is soon to succeed his father Charles as Prince of Wales, will have to take on "a lot of extra responsibilities", another source said, something Harry, on the other hand, won’t have to worry about.
