Prince William, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have said something about how it was working together as a family prior to their split earlier this year.

Prior to Prince Harry’s marriage to Markle, he worked closely with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. The three were patrons of the Royal Foundation and they stuck together for the Heads Together campaign. Prince William, Middleton and Prince Harry were always together in various royal engagements that they were called “the royal trio.”

Many believed that the trio would expand and would become “the fab four” after Markle’s entry into the royal family. Many were surprised that instead of working together, Prince William and Prince Harry decided to split their households and their charity.

Prior to their division, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex shared the same stage for the first time at the Royal Foundation forum in 2018. Prince William, Prince Harry and Markle spoke about how it was working together as a family. And based on their statement at the time, they were willing to work as a team. However, this isn’t the case today.

“I think we’ve looked at ways of collaborating again,” Prince William said. “I think it would be wonderful if we could do another project or another campaign with similar impact as ‘Heads Together’ or you know as a unit, as a family, but I think we’ve got to be careful how and when we target those moments and use them carefully.”

During the discussion, Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were asked about the challenges of working as a family. They revealed that they also faced setbacks, with Prince Harry saying, “We’re stuck together for the rest of our lives.”

“Togetherness at its finest,” Markle added.

The Royal Foundation forum was supposed to be an annual event. However, months before it celebrated its anniversary, the rumors that the fab four were feuding made headlines. Much to royal fans’ disappointment, Prince William, Middleton, Prince Harry and Markle did not repeat their joint appearance for another forum this year.
