Recent Instagram posts by the royal brothers have confirmed fears that Prince Harry's visit to the UK would upstage his brother's long-planned tour of Ireland slated to kick off around the same time.

Amid rumors that the Duke of Cambridge was increasingly worried that Prince Harry's ongoing UK engagements would overshadow his royal tour of Ireland, the royal brothers posted about their causes on their respective Instagram accounts.

The Duke of Sussex shared a post on Wednesday, which promoted his recent appearance in Scotland on a "working summit" to fulfill parts of his last royal engagements.

The Travalyst summit was aimed towards achieving eco-friendly means of exploring tourism to protect the environment.

Barely fifteen minutes later, his older brother, Prince Williams, also shared a post promoting his royal visit to The Beacon, a home that supports the needy and homeless in Mansfield.

Harry's post has since garnered over 212 thousand likes, and over 87 thousand difference from that of the Duke of Cambridge, whose post attracted about 121 thousand likes.

This seeming popularity of Harry's endeavor over his brother's has led many to reflect on an earlier insider's report about Prince William's reservations over the younger prince's return. The source divulged:

"Indeed he is glad that he is returning, however briefly, he wishes that it wasn't at the same time as his Irish trip..."

The source further noted that for the media, Harry's return would be the big story. If the social media reaction was a yardstick for determining the "bigger story," then William's fears were no doubt, rightly placed.

However, it could be unlikely as the Sussexes boast of more online followers than the other half of the "fab four," which could account for the differences in the amassed "likes."

The Duchess's post has amassed more likes than either of the brothers within its few hours on the 'gram.

Furthermore, Kate Middleton, William's bride, shared a photo from her SportRelief event held at the London stadium, five hours after the royal brother's successive post.

The source, however, clarified that Prince Williams and his wife were not jealous of the coverage but were merely concerned because the tour of Ireland was important as it was the first undertaken "by any member of The Firm since Brexit."

This comes a day after the Duke of Sussex made his first appearance in the UK since moving to Canada with his wife and son, following their step down from royal duties.

The father of one, who arrived in the UK on Tuesday on a commercial flight, completed his trip to Edinburgh, Scotland, through an eco-friendly train to promote his Travalyst tourism and travel initiative for environmental protection.

Harry's summit came in the wake of the Cambridge royals' visit to London's theatre the previous night, just days before their upcoming Irish royal tour between the third and fifth of next month.

As part of the Duke of Sussex's royal engagement in the UK, he would attend five other official events, joined by his wife in the coming week, and hopefully, the long-anticipated reunion of the royal brothers would finally play out.
