I’m a royal expert – the chemistry between Kate, Wills & Harry couldn’t be faked – how sad their friendship is ruined

THEY were inseparable — the Fab Three. A brilliant troika who brought joy wherever they went.

Photographing Prince William, Catherine and Harry together was a real pleasure because they were so happy in each other’s company.

That love and admiration for each other that you see in all the photos of the three of them cannot be faked.

I remember how competitive they were at sporting events and the night they came to The Sun’s Millies awards in 2012.

William and Harry were dressed in their best bib and tucker with Kate looking gorgeous in black velvet.

They stayed for hours, treating wounded veterans and celebrities such as David Beckham to their time and attention.

Then they set up their mental health charity Heads Together which resonated with people and did great work.

Never in the decade I photographed this amazing trio working together did Harry or any other member of the Royal family even hint to me that he was not happy and hated his life.

And it wasn’t just a working relationship.

In his best man’s speech at the couple’s 2011 wedding, Harry reportedly described William as “the perfect brother” and said Kate “was like a sister”.

Back then he seemed grateful to have William as a brother and best mate who looked out for him and almost brought him up during those awful days after Diana’s death.

The Duke of Sussex seems to have forgotten how, when they were neighbours at Kensington Palace, Harry and his brother and sister-in-law were “inseparable”.

They were in and out of each other’s accommodation, getting in takeaways and Harry was a doting uncle to Prince George.

Harry’s family will be so staggered and bewildered at how he has changed in the past two years, suddenly rejecting everything that he seemed so happy with before.

I always hoped that one day we would see Harry, William and Catherine together again but this book, which plumbs new depths, has destroyed the Fab Three forever.
