Earlier this year, tabloid media in the UK claimed that a "feud" between William and Kate and Harry and Meghan had occurred. Prince Harry told ITV anchor Tom Bradby that the pair are "on different paths at the moment."
"Inevitably 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 I know he'll always be there for him," said Harry.

Meghan Markle was warned against marrying Prince Harry
The Duchess of Sussex said that a British friend warned her about the British tabloids prior to marrying Prince Harry.
"When I first met my now-husband, my friends were really happy because I was so happy but my British friend said to me, 'I'm sure he's great but you shouldn't do it because the British tabloids will destroy your life.'" said Meghan.
She said that she "naively" said to her friend, "What are you talking about? That doesn't make any sense ... I didn't get it."
Constant media criticism is impacting Harry's mental health
Prince Harry was asked about the effect of the media's constant criticism of both him and Meghan.
"For me and for my wife, there's a lot of stuff that hurts. Especially when the majority of it's untrue," he said. "I won't be bullied into playing a game that killed my mum."
When asked specifically about the toll on his mental health, Harry explained that he's taking steps to manage the impact it's having.
"It's management, it's constant management. I thought I was out of the woods and then suddenly it all came back and I realised actually this is something that I have to manage," he said.
Harry & Meghan: An African Journey will air in the U.S. this Wednesday, Oct. 23 at 10 p.m. ET on ABC.
