William allegedly messaged Harry following Harry's dramatic interview with Meghan Markle in South Africa (via the Sun).

The Duke of Sussex was initially in favor of the chat, but became dubious when his brother mentioned scheduling constraints.

Harry, 38, was anxious that William's team would leak the visit to the press, so he persuaded the heir to the throne to cancel it, destroying a chance for the brothers to fix their difficulties.

The royal brothers' problems began before Harry and Markle traveled to South Africa, but Harry's interview confirming he and his brother were estranged unleashed the floodgates.

The Duke of Sussex told Tom Bradby, "We're on different paths, but I'll always be there for him, as I know he'll be for me."

Markle told Bradby, "Thank you for asking, since not many people have asked whether I'm OK."

The interview overshadowed William and Kate's trip to Pakistan.

According to Low, the now-Prince and Princess of Wales "saw it as a purposeful attempt to knock [them] out of the headlines," straining their relationship.
