Photos of the pair show the evolution of their relationship over the years.

It's no secret that Prince William and Prince Harry have a complicated relationship.

Harry, 42, first confirmed a rift in his relationship with William, 44, in 2019, and their bond only grew more strained in the years that followed as Harry stepped back as a senior royal and began speaking publicly about his and Meghan Markle's issues with the royal family.

Still, the brothers didn't always have such a complex relationship, sticking close to each other during their childhoods.

Take a look at some photos that show the evolution of William and Harry's relationship.

Prince William was publicly photographed with his younger brother for the first time in October 1984.
