work to restore safety, the memories of those lost linger — a stark reminder that even everyday journeys can be interrupted by forces beyond our control.

Prince William & Harry’s bitter feud was ‘triggered by brutal childhood comment’, according to an insider
Late Princess Diana made her sons promise her that they would be friends forever, and truth is, the two brothers did share a close bond growing up, but during the last couple of years, that changed drastically.
Ever since Harry and Meghan stepped down from their royal duties and moved to the States, the relationship between Harry and the rest of the royals, including William, has gone downhills. It was mainly because of the interviews the Duke of Sussex gave in which he accused his family of a number of things. Their relationship became even worse when Harry published his all-tell memoir Spare.
Among the rest, Harry detailed a meeting in his book with William during which he had called his wife, Meghan, “abrasive,” “rude,” and “difficult,” something Harry referred to as to “parroting the press narrative.”
Allegedly, things escalated and Harry described how William “grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and … knocked me to the floor.”
“He set down the water, called me another name, then came at me. It all happened so fast. So very fast. He grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and he knocked me to the floor. I landed on the dog’s bowl, which cracked under my back, the pieces cutting into me. I lay there for a moment, dazed, then got to my feet and told him to get out,” Harry wrote.
According to a friend of William, the brother’s relationship is at a such low point that William is considering excluding Harry from his coronation when he becomes king. “They are estranged, which is dreadfully sad,” the source told The Times.
However, royal expert and author Christopher Andersen told Fox he is “convinced” that the Duke will be there. “Despite all the bad blood between the brothers, I’m convinced that, when the time does come, William will not be foolish enough to exclude his only sibling, now fifth in line to the throne, from his coronation,” Andersen said.
“Things probably have never been worse between the brothers than they are now. William and Charles have pretty much made the joint decision to effectively cut Harry out of their lives, at least for the time being. There is no sign of a reconciliation on the horizon, and everyone involved seems to have pretty much come to terms with that.”
While the brothers seemed to be getting along until the family feud and the Sussexes departure from the royal family, Princess Diana’s former butler, Paul Burrell, claims Harry’s feelings of being the “spare” might have been triggered all the way back when they were children.
He suggested that the cause might have been something like the nanny showing preference for William, who was — and remains — the future king.
“I heard one of the nannies say to William, ‘I’m going to give you three sausages, William. You need to grow big and strong, because you’re going to be king one day,’” Burrell said.
Burrell, who started working at Buckingham Palace when he was 18 and later became King Charles’ butler, spent a lot of time around William and Harry. He saw their rivalry start when they were kids and carry on as they grew up.
“I met both William and Harry in their early 20s, at a polo match, and chatted to them, and you could see that Harry always felt he was in second place.”
