Challenging stigma Analysis
By Jonny Dymond, BBC royal correspondent
Alarm bells are ringing. This morning a well-placed source told the BBC that Prince William was 'furious' with his brother about the interview he gave.
A palace source said that was not his understanding of the prince's mood. Instead the official suggested a mood of concern, for the safety of the couple.
The interviews revealed two people under considerable pressure, such pressure that they were prepared to go public with their concerns; Harry still struggles with his mental health; the shadow of his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales still looms over his life.
Worst of all he sees history repeating itself - first the media tore down his mother, he thinks, now his wife.
William sees the world differently. Once upon a time he too saw the media as an intrusive and often hostile force. No more.
It is one of the ways that the brothers' paths have diverged. But the tone now is of deep concern for Harry and Meghan - as if they are alone, and vulnerable.
