Prince William 'surprised' by Harry's success, expert claims in new Hulu doc
Prince William felt some "jealousy" and was "surprised" by Prince Harry's success, an expert has claimed in a new documentary.
The Duke of Sussex is "in his element" when talking to military veterans and in those types of contexts, he doesn't have to be "a prince" but can simply be "Harry", royal author Robert Jobson said. The commentator said the Invictus Games is "Harry's number one passion project" and has been very successful since he founded the event in 2014.
Mr Jobson said it is "impressive" how Harry has managed to raise money for the event as it comes with a high cost. And according to the author, the fact that the Games have been "very successful" since its launch appears to have created some jealousy in his older brother, William.

I do think that William was surprised how much this had been such a success and how much money was being thrown into it, how many governments were getting involved."

The Mirror has contacted Kensington Palace for comment.
The documentary has dropped on Hulu and sees Harry discuss his family and how important the Invictus Games are to him. The show, titled Prince Harry's Mission: Life, Family and the Invictus Games, is focused on the recent interview Harry gave to ABC News while he was in Canada ahead of next year's event. Harry, 39, is under a five-year deal with Netflix worth £80million and it is not yet clear if the decision to release the documentary on Hulu was officially approved by the streaming giant.
Harry started the Invictus Games to give veterans and active service members worldwide the chance to compete in Olympic-style games. As seen in Harry's Netflix documentary series, Heart of Invictus, the games help empower those who were wounded.
"Once you leave the military from a uniform standpoint, you never leave the community," Harry told Will on the American morning show. He told the co-host that the Invictus Games are "literally my annual fix to be amongst this community and have a laugh, have fun. No matter which nation they're from the banter is the same. I get a little bit of energy being around these guys."

Harry and Will talked to a few of the people on the slopes. Alex, a Paralympic skier, and instructor for the competitors said that the games are "normalising a little bit of a hidden world of disabilities. The more people that know the better."
"It's proving to people that this is possible no matter what your disability is," Harry agreed. The Duke got emotional as he used a phone to talk to a Ukrainian competitor and translate the conversation. "I am here to help my brothers who are currently wounded in the Ukrainian hospital," the translating app said. Harry cleared his throat and said: "It stirs the emotions you know, it's not lost on me, it's not lost on any of us, the thousands of Ukrainians that are being injured now."
