Prince Harry Accused of 'Copying' Prince William with Canadian Photo
The Prince of Wales, 43, looked dashing in sunglasses while steering a boat through Brazil's scenic Guanabara Bay during his recent tour. Just hours later, Prince Harry, 41, was photographed on a similar boat trip in Canada, sparking claims he was imitating his elder brother’s pose.
During his Canadian visit, Harry joined soldiers from two historic Army Reserve units, taking part in water-based activities that drew comparisons to William’s marine-themed event. The Duke of Sussex dismissed suggestions that his timing was an attempt to overshadow the Prince of Wales, who was attending the Earthshot Prize awards in Brazil.
Royal experts described the overlap as “predictable,” yet Harry’s spokesman firmly rejected any notion of sibling competition, noting that the two brothers’ schedules were coincidental rather than coordinated.
Despite this, online observers noticed striking similarities between the two images: both princes standing at the edge of boats, holding onto railings, and gazing thoughtfully into the distance.
“William went on a boat ride… I need to go on a boat ride,” one royal fan quipped while comparing the photographs.
