The Duke of Cambridge Prince William is reportedly worried for his brother Harry after he opened up about struggling in the spotlight.
In the Sussexes’ new documentary, Harry & Meghan: An African Journey, the pair spoke candidly about feeling the pressures of royal life and media scrutiny.
During one scene, Harry discussed the impact of losing his mum and how the grief was still raw within him.

When asked by host Tom Bradby if he feels at peace with his mother’s death, or whether it is “still a wound that festers”, Harry said: “I think probably a wound that festers.”
Looking glassy-eyed, he added: “I think being part of this family, in this role, in this job, every single time I see a camera, every single time I hear a click, every single time I see a flash it takes me straight back.”
He added: “So in that respect, it’s the worst reminder of her life as opposed to the best.”
Now, a Palace insider quoted by the BBC has claimed that William is “worried” about Harry and hopes that his brother and sister-in-law “are alright”.
Speaking further, the source said there is a view the Sussexes are “in a fragile place”.
Meghan also spoke of her struggles in the documentary, which aired on Sunday (20.10.19) night.
The new mum told Tom Bradby that she isn’t “okay” and revealed it has been a “struggle” behind the scenes, as she adapts to life as a royal, a mother and a newlywed.
She told him: “Look, any woman, especially when they’re pregnant, you’re really vulnerable, so that was made really challenging. And then when you have a newborn, you know, and especially when you’re a woman, it’s a lot.”
You’re really vulnerable, so that was made really challenging.
Her words struck a chord with viewers, some of whom dubbed her the new ‘peoples’ princess’, but not everyone could get behind her.
Among Meghan‘s detractors was controversial GMB host Piers Morgan, who slammed the Duchess on Twitter and called her a “good actress” after hearing her comments in the programme.
Elsewhere, the BBC’s source played down reports that William is “furious” with Harry, after he used the documentary to address rumours of a rift between them.

But the dad-of-one did say they will “always be there” for each other and insisted he loves his brother “dearly”.
