Princes Harry and William have briefly joined forces to speak out against a story speculating about their relationship amid the chaos surrounding the Duke and Duchess of Sussexs decision to step back as senior royals.

The brothers released a rare joint statement on Monday in response to an unnamed story that they viewed as potentially harmful.

Despite clear denials, a false story ran in a UK newspaper today speculating about the relationship between The Duke of Sussex and The Duke of Cambridge, according to their statement, released on Monday and shared with HuffPost.

For brothers who care so deeply about the issues surrounding mental health, the use of inflammatory language in this way is offensive and potentially harmful, the statement said.

Its extremely rare for the royals to publicly issue a personal rebuke on an individual story, especially in a joint statement. The royal family rarely comments on the veracity of reports written about them.

While the brothers didnt name the story in particular, multiple outlets have reported that the story in question seems to be a report from the U.K.s Times that says the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were on the receiving end of a bullying attitude from the Duke of Cambridge.
