(Harry did the same for William back in 2011 during his wedding to [Kate Middleton](http://time.com/5178537/kate-middleton-leaves-hospital-royal-baby-3/).) At the extensive [Windsor Castle](http://time.com/5259776/royal-wedding-tv-license/) celebration on Saturday, joined by thousands of pre-selected onlookers and honored guests for their ceremony and reception, the brothers shared several sweet moments throughout the ceremony. The brothers, who are just two years apart in age, have always been close — being in the global spotlight since birth will do that to you. In recent years, as both have ramped up their activities with their [charities](http://time.com/4322853/prince-harry-princess-diana-invictus/) of choice and made more royal appearances, that bond has only seemed to deepen. > [](https://twitter.com/sparkles%5Fchalk/status/997791754022682624) > [](https://twitter.com/RansomsLettings/status/997793724066353152) > [](https://twitter.com/blueexorcist212/status/997803481649074177) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5260147/prince-william-prince-harry-royal-wedding/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5260147/prince-william-prince-harry-royal-wedding/"},"headline":"Prince William and Prince Harry Share the Sweetest Brotherly Moments at the Royal Wedding","datePublished":"2018-05-19T15:09:28.000Z","dateModified":"2026-06-24T06:56:40.238Z","description":"Brotherly love","url":"https://time.com/5260147/prince-william-prince-harry-royal-wedding/","keywords":["Newsfeed","royals","royal wedding"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4facbaddd2770e75/698930e7096a94f09d6a2757/gettyimages-960061478.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4facbaddd2770e75/698930e7096a94f09d6a2757/gettyimages-960061478.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"BRITAIN-US-ROYALS-WEDDING-CEREMONY","caption":"BRITAIN-US-ROYALS-WEDDING-CEREMONY","creditText":"JONATHAN BRADY—AFP/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5260147/prince-william-prince-harry-royal-wedding/","name":"Prince William and Prince Harry Share the Sweetest Brotherly Moments at the Royal Wedding"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"This Video Is No Longer Available","description":"Brotherly love","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/fKodeUO6/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2026-06-23T15:00:44.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/fKodeUO6.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5260147/prince-william-prince-harry-royal-wedding/","duration":"PT10S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5260147/prince-william-prince-harry-royal-wedding/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
