Prince Harry reveals the truth behind the Palace statement of him being Prince William&#039;s best man during his wedding to Kate Middleton.

DEBUNKED! Not Prince Harry but Prince William Broke the Royal Protocol for TWO Commoners During His Wedding

Prince William was hailed as a perfect elder brother in April 2011 when he broke
a major royal protocol for Prince Harry. Various media reports suggested that
the heir to the throne appointed his younger brother as his best man during his
wedding to Kate Middleton in Westminster Abbey. Notably, the royal family did
not follow the concept of the best man, as they termed them supporters.



Meanwhile, Prince Harry repaid the Prince of Wales by honoring him with the same
title during his wedding to Meghan Markle

in May 2018 at St George’s Castle. However, via his memoir Spare
[https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/62296528-spare], Prince Harry clarified
that he was not Prince William’s best man. It was just a bare-faced lie by
Buckingham Palace. What is the story behind the entire fiasco?

PRINCE WILLIAM DID NOT HAVE FAITH IN PRINCE HARRY 

Detailing the episode in Spare, Prince Harry revealed that Prince William’s two
commoner friends, Thomas van Straubenzee and James Meade, were given the
prestigious honor of being the best men. However, since the public expected the
Duke of Sussex to be by his brother’s side, the Palace floated a false
narrative. 

“The public expected me to be the best man. Therefore, the palace saw no choice
but to say that I was. In truth, Willy didn’t want me giving a best man speech.
He didn’t think it safe to hand me a live mic and put me in a position to go off
script,” the Duke claimed as per the Brides

The Sussex royal defended his elder brother, saying that Prince William’s
concerns about him saying something wildly inappropriate were not wrong. The two
royal brothers had a healthy chat about the topic before the wedding, and Prince
Harry was okay with the arrangement.

Meanwhile, despite the Prince of Wales’ worry, the Duke of Sussex shared a few
heartwarming words at the former’s reception. It was an emotional moment as
Prince Harry recalled some of their fond childhood memories while also
mentioning how their late mother Princess Diana would be happy witnessing the
bond between Prince William and Kate Middleton.
