Why was Prince Harry’s photo included in the video?
Reportedly, Royal aides are very particular about what is displayed in the background of any royal photograph, video or speech. As such, Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond believes that having Prince Harry’s photo in the background is Prince William’s way of showing his ‘deep affection’ towards his brother.
She told OK! Magazine:
I think you could take it as a token of William's deep affection for Harry, regardless of everything that has happened. It would also be a sign of the often happy childhood they had and of how much they loved their mother.
Family portraits in any distributed royal photograph, video or speech are always placed for a reason and the background is scoured so I think it is likely to have been included as a reference of their sibling bond.
Jennie added:
It could have been easily removed so I think is as much a tribute and a sign of his love for his mum as for his brother.
There were happy times when they grew up together and they were very, very close so perhaps that's why William has it.
