The roles referred to here include plans for William to take the position of Prince of Wales when his father, Prince Charles, becomes King. This means he will have a lot more responsibility.

Another source explained:

"If you have one private office trying to manage both, things get difficult. William and Harry's double act has naturally been supplanted by the two couples and their families."

Another source who is reportedly close to the brothers said:

“The brothers have leaned on each other and looked after each other since their mother died. But now they have their own families, they no longer rely on each other as before.”

The decision would seem perfectly reasonable considering their changing situations.

Furthermore, a bond in which Uncle and nephew both have the same favorite Disney movie is unlikely to break because of a little distance.

Prince Harry and Prince George both love "The Lion King." Harry revealed this during the WellChild Awards in September 2018 when he spoke to Chloe Henderson, 10.

Sources suggest the Duke of Sussex may move to the main area of the palace or a totally separate royal residence. Either way, many believe someone's leaving the royal nest.
