Prince William hilariously responds to his brother Harry’s engagement

PRINCE William has shown it doesn’t matter if you’re of royal blood or not — you can always trust your sibling to get a dig in.

PRINCE William has taken a hilarious dig at Prince Harry, proving that while they might be of royal blood, they’re also just a normal pair of brothers.

On an official visit to Finland, the Duke of Cambridge revealed how happy he was about Harry and Meghan Markle’s engagement, and wished them “all the happiness in this very exciting time”.

But William also couldn’t resist teasing his brother.

“For me personally, I hope it means he stays out of my fridge and will stop scrounging my food, which he’s done for the last few years,” he told the press.

The royal pair have lived in close quarters for years, with William and his family residing in Kensington Palace apartment next door to Harry’s Nottingham Cottage.

The Duke was clearly excited for his brother, reflecting on his own 2010 engagement to Kate Middleton and the “fantastic process”.

“They’ve got a lot of happy times ahead of them and I think they’re very caught up in the moment and I wish them all the happiness and success in planning the wedding. I hope it goes really well,” he said.

Kensington Palace has already revealed the first details of plans for the big royal wedding, following Harry and Meghan’s whirlwind 18-month romance.

The ceremony will be held in May at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, one of the Queen’s residences, after she granted the happy couple special permission.

A palace spokesman said Prince Harry and Ms Markle had “regularly spent time” at the castle over their courtship.

“They are grateful to the Queen for granting permission for the use of the chapel,” he said. “Prince Harry and Ms Markle are delighted that the beautiful grounds of Windsor Castle will be where they begin their lives together as a married couple.”

The couple were “working through ideas” for the celebration but wanted it to be filled with “fun and joy”, the spokesman said.

“This wedding, like all weddings, will be a moment of fun and joy that will reflect the characters of the bride and groom,” he said.
