The Cambridges are undoubtedly the most talked-about family in the world, with Prince William and Kate Middleton making news on the regular.
This has only increased over the past two years, from their upcoming relocation to their role elevation amid Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's controversial departure.
The two couples had been surrounded by speculation of fallouts and feuds for years, but Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey was the first time that either couple had broken their silence.
While Meghan explained how the story of her and Kate was falsely reported and twisted by the press, Prince Harry opened up about his relationship with his brother William, explaining that they are "on different paths" but "time heals all things".
"As I’ve said before, I love William to bits," Prince Harry explained in the interview. "He’s my brother. We’ve been through hell together. We have a shared experience, but we are on different paths."
Since the interview, there were reports that William was left upset by the drama and that he and Harry "have opened communication channels".
