Sibling rivalry was on full display as Prince William and Prince Harry suited up and played stockbrokers for a day in a charity event to raise money in memory of 9/11 attacks in New York 12 years ago.
The brothers worked the phones drumming up donations as cheeky Harry constantly ribbed new dad William over his “baby chat” and “flirting”.
The pair spent an hour negotiating deals and notched up a record $40 billion in donations, but still took time to poke fun at each other.
During one phone call, 28-year-old Harry joked that his older brother had baby on the brain, spending too much time talking about seven-week-old Prince George.
“He’s on the phone, it’s all baby chat,” Harry said.
He wasn’t far off, with the new dad giving updates on his son to traders as he chatted.
“He’s very well thanks, he’s sleeping quite well,” William said when asked about the royal baby.
The younger prince also paused to give William a hard time about chatting with a female trader.
“Stop flirting, get on with it!” Harry joked.
The pair successfully worked the phone to negotiate donations, helping to broker a $42 billion company record.
“Bloody hell, was that a billion?!” William remarked to a broker as he negotiated a deal.
“Apparently we should work here,” he said to Harry.
“I’m much better at helicopters.”
Prince Harry showed off his negotiating skills, egging on investors to up their donations.
“Are you feeling like making some money for charity today?” he asked.
“Good. Whatever you’re thinking you can double it.”
Both princes were praised for their contributions to help fundraising for charities SkillForce, of which William and patron, and WellChild, where Harry is patron.
