Prince William is feeling shocked and sad over Prince Harry accusing their father, Prince Charles, for making them go through immense grief and trauma when they were kids.
The Duke of Cambridge thinks Harry should not have gone public with his resentment for the royal family.
A royal source told the Daily Mail, "Prince William is, of course, saddened by the recent developments because of the way Prince Harry is putting such deeply personal pain into the public domain, invading all the family's privacy.
"It is fair to say that, even now, William does privately have conversations about the relationship with his father, which has been strained in the past," the insider added.
"There was much hurt after his mother's death and both brothers at times found their father's commitment to his work difficult to comprehend," the source went on.
They added that William had "learned lessons from his upbringing" and plans to put his family first but also believes developing a relationship with his dad is "critical" for the monarchy's future.
