Did Prince William's Birthday Message To Harry Hint At The State Of Their Relationship?

The British royals won't be having family game night together anytime soon. After Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle, a.k.a. the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, officially left the U.K. and their royal duties behind for a new life in California, he hasn't been on the best of terms with his older brother, Prince William.

During Harry and Meghan's infamous Oprah Winfrey interview, the two claimed that the royal family was incredibly unsupportive of the couple. "I thought my family would help," Harry stated, "but every single ask, request, warning, whatever it is, just got met with total silence, total neglect ... That was one of the biggest reasons to leave, feeling trapped and feeling controlled through fear, both by the media and by the system itself which never encouraged the talking about this kind of trauma" (via Daily Mail). Other troubling revelations that came to light during the interview included alleged racist comments such as "how dark" their baby's skin might be while Markle was pregnant with their son, Archie.

Prince William has publicly denied these allegations, telling reporters, "We're very much not a racist family." The official statement from Buckingham Palace on behalf of Queen Elizabeth II read that the racist allegations "will be addressed by the royal family privately" (via USA Today). 

Since then, we haven't heard much of anything concrete about Prince William and Prince Harry's relationship, but that didn't stop William from wishing his little brother happy birthday.
