Prince Harry left the country on 'bad terms with his brother' after he and his wife Meghan Markle stepped down as senior royals, a source has claimed.
The rift is said to have begun in 2017 when Prince William warned his younger sibling he was 'moving too fast' with Meghan Markle, People magazine reports.
'They didn't leave on good terms by any means, but they are both relieved that it's over,' the source - described as a friend of the family - said.
'Perhaps [Meghan and Harry] didn't think things through exactly as they could have, but they wanted to be happy. Who can blame them for that?'

It comes amid reports that Prince William is desperately sad that the close relationship he once enjoyed with this younger brother has soured.
Prince Harry, 35, and Meghan Markle, 38, are currently living in a £10 million Vancouver Island mansion as they plan their new life outside of The Firm, having stepped back from royal duties in January.

The Duke of Cambridge, 37, has said he is unable to even 'put an arm round' his younger brother nowadays, after a rift saw them drift apart over the past year.
Harry and Meghan's resignation as senior Royals has widened the gulf between the two siblings, with William understood to be 'incandescent' over his brother's blindsiding of the Family.

The second-in-line to the throne confided in a friend his raw agony over the cracked sibling bond
'I've put my arm around my brother all our lives and I can't do that any more - we're separate entities,' he told a friend, according to a report in the Sunday Times last month.
Harry and Meghan are believed to be enjoying their time since stepping back from royal duties and making the most of life in Canada.
The couple are currently residing at the £10 million mansion on Vancouver Island and are said to be enjoying life in Canada
They said they'd been enjoying taking long walks and doing yoga, while Meghan has been cooking.
Last month, photographs showed the Duchess carrying her son as she walked through a park near the enormous mansion while wrangling her black Labrador Oz and beagle Guy.
The Duchess was visibly enjoying walking in picturesque Horth Hill Park during her stay on Vancouver Island.
She and Harry took a hike there on New Year's Day, before he flew back to London to sort out the details of their split from the Royal Family.
It is now expected they will spend most of their time in North America, meaning Archie will have little contact with his cousins Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis or his aunt and uncle, Kate and William.
But while they're enjoying their time in Canada, the couple are also laying the groundwork for their own charity foundation.
Another friend said the couple were on 'full throttle' and suggested they had big plans for the next year, with 'a lot happening in 2020'.
It doesn't seem that the pair will be returning to the UK anytime soon, as last month, it was reported that the couple are 'hoping' to spend their summer in Los Angeles.
It was also said that Meghan has been 'actively looking' for a manager or agent for future projects - two years after giving up her acting career to Marry Harry.
Meghan quit her role in the US legal drama Suits in 2017 after becoming engaged to the Duke of Sussex and joining the Royal Family as a working member.
But the couple have since stepped back as senior royals as they 'work to become financially independent'.
