Prince Harry and his wife Meghan are getting the cold shoulder after last week’s announcement to give up their “senior” royal roles and move to North America.
Big brother William apparently feels betrayed by Harry’s decision, which has strained their relationship even further.
According to the Sunday Times newspaper the 37-year-old said,: “I’ve put my arm around my brother all our lives and I can’t do that anymore; we’re separate entities. I’m sad about that.
“All we can do, and all I can do, is try and support them and hope that the time comes when we’re all singing from the same page. I want everyone to play on the team.”
And as the British public and media also appear to be turning their backs on the couple, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s wax figures have already been removed from the Royal Family section at Madame Tussauds London.

Meanwhile, Harry, 35, has been summoned to meet his ouma, Queen Elizabeth, his father Prince Charles and William at Sandringham on Monday, while Meghan, who flew back to Canada last Thursday, is set to join via conference call.
COLD SHOULDER: William and Harry
In the couple’s quest to be “financially independent”, Meghan, 38, looks to be moving swiftly along, and has reportedly signed a deal with Disney.
She is believed to have recorded her voice-over in November, before she and Harry left the UK for a six-week break in Canada with their son Archie.
It is also reported that Barack and Michelle Obama are advising the couple on their plans for a new life outside the Royal Family.
The royals have become close friends with the former US president and his lawyer wife, who have successfully ventured into the book and TV production business.
