Prince Harry and Prince William: Different Paths to a Happier Future

Growing up as members of the royal family, Prince Harry and Prince William have had their fair share of struggles.

Royal author Angela Levin notes that the two brothers share a turbulent past, but they took different paths while seeking to build a happier future and a family.

In an op-ed for the Daily Telegraph, Ms Levin points out that the Duke of Cambridge has always been able to see the bigger picture, unlike his younger brother.

She writes that William was brought up by the same parents with the same worries that Harry mentions to Shepard, one of which was that he wouldn't be able to trust a woman enough to have a successful marriage.

However, it is on this issue that the lives of the two brothers have so obviously diverged.

While Harry lashes out from his home in California, making woke podcasts and giving interviews to Oprah with his wife by his side, William has always been able to see the bigger picture and set about a very practical pursuit of happiness from a young age.

Not unlike Prince Harry, the Duke of Cambridge reached adulthood wanting to avoid the same mistakes made by his parents.

Despite the line that Harry now seems desperate to draw between their choices, both brothers have sought to avoid repeating the destructive pattern they saw so clearly in their own parents.

Ms Levin, who interviewed the Duke of Sussex in 2017 for her biography Harry!

Conversations with the Prince, claimed neither William nor Harry had much of a clue what a normal, happy family life looked like due to their difficult background.

Prince William found a life companion, Kate Middleton, while living a rather normal existence at St Andrew's University.

He took years to get to know her and let her understand what a life within the royal family would mean.

Kate and William met in 2001 and remained friends for months before they started dating.

Before the Duke proposed to Kate in 2010, he broke up with her for a few months in 2007.

The royal biographer believes that, while the Duke of Cambridge has broken the cycle of pain and suffering mentioned by Harry in a recent podcast appearance by parenting his children, the Duke of Sussex seems to hang on tightly to his family's mistakes.

Prince Harry appeared in the latest episode of Armchair Expert, a podcast by Hollywood actor Dax Shepard.

During the 90-minute-long chat, he discussed his approach to mental health and his military career.

However, he also briefly spoke about living in California and his life as a member of the royal family.

The Duke, who is the father of two-year-old Archie Harrison and will soon welcome a baby girl, told Mr Shepard he wants to break the cycle of the pain and suffering of his upbringing when it comes to the education of his own children.

This statement has been widely criticized by a few royal commentators, including Robert Jobson, who accused the Duke of throwing his family in the UK under the bus.

He wrote on Twitter, “Sir Prince Haas has not only thrown his dad under the bus, but the Queen and late Grandpa too for their parenting style.

Forgive me, but he's been a dad for how long?

Perhaps he should pen a book on how to parent properly drawing on his wealth of experience.”

Others, including Prince Harry and Meghan's biographer Omad Scobie, noted Prince Charles' upbringing had already been discussed in the past.

He tweeted, “In 1994, Prince Charles authorized a biography on himself by journalist Jonathan Dimbleby.
