PRINCESS Kate and Prince William do everything they can to support England, but Harry and Meghan only care about themselves, a royal expert has claimed.
Royal historian Hugo Vickers said it was admirable how Kate and Wills were seen supporting interests “very close to their hearts”.

Wills has been following the Three Lions’ progress at Euro 2024 with great interest and was seen raising his fist to celebrate England’s thrilling penalty shootout victory against Switzerland.
The Prince of Wales, 42, will be at the Olmpiastadion Berlin for England’s historic game against the tournament favorites tomorrow.
And royal fans were ecstatic after Kensington Palace confirmed that Kate, 42, will be at Wimbledon for the men’s final on Sunday.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Hugo opened up about how the pair make time to show their love and support for the country during major sporting events despite their busy schedules.
The royal historian said: “When these things come up, they attend if they can. Kate and William’s love for the country is quite evident.
“How this contrasts with the public perception of Harry and Meghan’s relationship with the country – well, it’s all very sad.”
The royal expert believes that while William and Kate are doing things “for the country and the Commonwealth”, the Sussexes are doing exactly the opposite.
Hugo continued: “What Harry and Meghan are doing, of course, is totally different because they are doing things for themselves.
“They’re not doing things for the rest of us. And that’s the big difference.
“And the big difference, of course, is that both William and Catherine do everything they can for the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.
“We see them supporting interests that are very close to their hearts. In his case, football, in her case, tennis.”
“The most supportive and successful members of the royal family are those who support the monarch.
“And that’s what William and Catherine do. They support the king who cannot do everything.
“They take on special areas of interest. And that’s what we’ll see them doing tomorrow. That’s the big difference.”
Hugo said the announcement is a “huge step forward” for the Princess of Wales and is “very positive news” as she undergoes cancer treatment.
He added: “I think this is extremely good news because Wimbledon will not only have the most exciting game tomorrow in the men’s final with Djokovic playing Alcaraz.
“But also the presence of Catherine, Princess of Wales, will just be the icing on the cake, because everyone was hoping that she would be well enough to attend.
“And we were told that she is still undergoing treatment and so she has to take things day by day.”

He continued: “She told us in the last message at the time of Trooping the Color that she is not out of the woods yet.
“So every appearance is a step forward and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate tomorrow than by being at Wimbledon.”
The royal expert added that both the crowd and spectators will be “absolutely thrilled” to see the Princess of Wales in the main event.
He said: “It’s wonderful to think she will be in the royal box because we have missed her so much this year.
“And I assume she will also present the trophy. So this is all very positive news.”
However, AELTC president Debbie previously said they were “remaining flexible” about who will present the trophies.
Traditionally, Kate does the honor, in her role as patron of the group.
Prince William is a pillar of strength for Kate Middleton
EXPERT analysis from author and real expert, Ingrid Seward.
Steadfast when his family needed him, William proved himself to be a man and future monarch of strength and compassion.
While he may not have been present during Kate’s courageous video speech — make no mistake, he was by her side every step of the way.
William stepped up with schoolwork and provided a “great source of comfort and security” for his wife.
But he has also been a comforting, reassuring presence for audiences.
From leading members of the Royal Family in the Commonwealth Day Service to enjoying lighthearted banter with young people on a visit to a youth center, he didn’t put a foot wrong.
Still, there were few flaws in his façade – but Kate was clearly on his mind.
“She needs to be sitting here to hear this,” he smiled when the discussion turned to the challenges of young families.
But ultimately, he is only human.
Having your father and wife diagnosed with cancer in such quick succession is heartbreaking.
It is a remarkable insight into this young man’s character that he was so incredibly brave.
Theirs is a very private turmoil, which has been brought into the public arena by the nature of their roles as future King and Queen.
William must feel the weight of an enormous responsibility, both personally and to the monarchy, of which he is now the public face.
But he knows his most important role is as a father and husband.
He will make this his priority.
This is a distinct difference from the customs of the past, where your royal role came before the role of spouse and parent.
Think back to when the queen was young.
William’s priority is his family
Back then, it was a man’s world – and she was forced to abandon her children in a way that William is determined not to do.
William and Kate waited until the school term was over and their children were home before making the public announcement.
They needed to be prepared.
In this, they will have the unconditional support of Charles – who knows what it’s like to be raised by nannies.
William was also acutely aware of his father’s lack of presence in his life, especially when things went wrong.
In 1991, he was accidentally hit in the head with a golf club when he was at school and Diana was having lunch at her favorite restaurant, San Lorenzo.
The call came that William had been hit in the head and they thought he might die, so it was very serious.
Charles and Diana rushed to Ludgrove.
William was taken to the Royal Berkshire Hospital and then to Great Ormond Street Hospital and Diana went with him.
But always a man of duty, Charles prioritized his commitments.
William is determined to do things differently.
Kate was last seen in public at Trooping the Color on June 15 – with Prince William proudly by her side.
Before Trooping the Color, Kate hadn’t been seen with the royal family since last year’s Christmas Day at Sandringham.
Meanwhile, William will be hopeful that the Three Lions can triumph in what is a titanic clash against favorites Spain.
Gareth Southgate’s men are the first England men’s team to reach a major final on foreign soil.
The Lions booked their place after beating Holland with a last-minute goal from Ollie Watkins on Wednesday.
