Prince Harry denies claims he is trying to upstage William

Prince Harry Denies Attempt to Upstage Prince William

The Duke of Sussex has dismissed claims that he intended to overshadow Prince William by announcing his visit to Canada just as his elder brother arrived in Brazil for a five-day Earthshot Prize tour.

One royal expert called the timing of their engagements "predictable," but Harry's spokesman rejected any suggestion of sibling rivalry behind the announcement.

"The timing is due to the fact he is not afforded the same level of security and protection as other working members of the Royal Family," the spokesman explained.

He added, "This means the time frame in which we can release details of events is much shorter than it is for His Majesty the King or the Prince of Wales."

Meanwhile, Prince William arrived in Rio de Janeiro on Monday to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the Earthshot Prize, beginning his trip with an engagement at Sugarloaf Mountain.

At the same time, Harry's office in California announced his upcoming Canada visit scheduled ahead of Remembrance Sunday.

Prince Harry refutes any intent to compete with Prince William, attributing event announcements to differing royal security arrangements rather than rivalry.
