Prince Harry, 35, and Meghan Markle, 38, feature in an explosive new documentary made during their time in Southern Africa last month. Harry & Meghan: An African Journey aired on ITV on Sunday night and includes behind-the-scenes interviews with the couple. As well as candid admissions they have found the past year tough, Prince Harry seemed to confirm a rift between him and brother Prince William.
Quizzed by journalist and friend Tom Bradby about his relationship with his brother, Prince Harry said: "Part of this role and part of this job and this family being under the pressure that it’s under … stuff happens.
"But look we’re brothers. We’ll always be brothers.
"We’re certainly on different paths at the moment but I will always be there for him and as I know he’ll always be there for me.”
"We don’t see each other as much as we used to because we’re so busy but I love him dearly."

Harry added: "The majority of the stuff is created out of nothing but as brothers, it’s just as I said, you have good days, you have bad days.”
Prince Harry and Meghan split their charitable foundation from Prince William and Kate’s Royal Foundation earlier this year in order to champion their own separate causes.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussexes’ 10-day tour of Africa was deemed a huge success but the revelation they are struggling under the intense scrutiny of royal life has prompted many to question what they will do next.
A royal commentator has claimed that while Wills’ and Kate’s future is defined by royal duty, Meghan and Prince Harry’s is less certain.
Richard Fitzwilliams told Express.co.uk: “I think that Harry and Meghan’s interviews in the ITV documentary were very emotional and extremely unwise.
“William is clearly concerned about Harry after it was screened which is no surprise as both he and Meghan are clearly struggling and have said so.
“However this is almost totally unprecedented, you have to go back to Diana on Panorama to find anything similar.
“He revealed that he was having trouble managing his mental health issues and this illustrates the huge pressure the couple feel under.
“To publicise differences with William, who reportedly had not seen the documentary before it was screened and trailers for which partly overshadowed the Cambridges trip to Pakistan, showed a serious lack of judgement too.

Mr Fizwilliams added: “If one takes what he says literally, that so much reminds him of Diana's tragic death, when it is a royal goldfish bowl and the royals need the help of the press to get their message across as he and Meghan do for their charitable work, you can imagine the stress.
“He is clearly haunted by what happened to his mother."
Prince William and Kate are the future King and Queen Consort and have just completed a successful four-day tour of Pakistan which clearly aligned with their future royal roles.
Mr Fitzwilliams added: “When he talked of going on separate paths from William and ups and downs in his relations with him, it inevitably created headlines he surely would have wanted to avoid.
“William and Kate have just completed a highly successful tour of Pakistan, as the future king and Queen Consort there is obviously less independence but there is duty.
“Also there are their charitable commitments, they have got the balance right and are handling things brilliantly.
"After Sunday’s disastrous documentary it is impossible to say what duties Harry and Meghan will take on next.
“The documentary shows them to be deeply unhappy with conventional royal roles and considering the practicality of a base abroad.
“They will however take a much needed six-week break whilst visiting Doria, Meghan's mother, in the US after mid-November.
“They have either not been getting good advice or have not been taking advice.
“It must be hoped that roles can be created in the future which suit their very special needs in order to allow their undoubted abilities to flourish.
“Otherwise who knows what the coming months may have in store?”
Meghan and Harry are expected to take little Archie to the USA to spend Thanksgiving with her mother Doria Ragland.
The couple are expected to return to the UK to spend Christmas at Sandringham - Archie's first Christmas.
