One of William’s close friends told the : ‘He [William] alternates between grieving for what he has lost and feeling really, really angry about what his brother has done.
‘He truly loves Harry and feels he has lost the only person, aside from his wife, who understood this strange life of theirs.
‘But he believes there are things you just don’t do. And Harry has 100 per cent crossed that line.’
William’s pals claimed he also thinks Harry has been ‘sucked into an alien world’ and there’s ‘f*** all he can do about it’.
However, he wants his brother to be happy and ‘maybe will find a way to forgive and forget’.
