Sources close to Prince William spoke to the UK's Sunday Times and revealed how he is coping amid his brother's absence. "Once he got over the anger of how things happened, he was left with the absence of his brother. They shared everything about their lives, an office, a foundation, meetings together most days and there was a lot of fun along the way. He'll miss it forever," the source revealed.
