Harry Feels 'Triggered' by William's American Success
15 Aug
Summary
- William's foundation received $12 million from U.S. donors.
- Harry feels competitive and overshadowed by his brother's influence.
- William attributes U.S. expansion to Earthshot Prize's reach.
The Wales' Royal Foundation has attracted significant financial support from the United States, reportedly earning £8.7 million (nearly $12 million) last year. This amount represents 44 percent of the charity's total reported donations for 2025. The substantial U.S. backing for Prince William and Princess Kate's foundation has been described as "triggering" for Prince Harry.
An insider suggested that Prince Harry feels a sense of competition and an inability to escape his elder brother's influence, despite the geographical distance. Harry and Meghan's own foundation, Archewell, recently underwent significant restructuring and staff cuts, making William's success in America particularly sensitive.
Prince William's supporters state his focus is on maximizing the reach of his Earthshot Prize, utilizing Hollywood celebrities to amplify its message. They dismiss any notion that his efforts are directly aimed at Harry and Meghan, framing it as standard business practice.
This situation highlights ongoing tensions between the royal brothers, with Harry reportedly feeling that William is actively seeking to overshadow his ventures in America.
