There appears to be a glimmer of hope for the relationship between Prince William and Prince Harry, despite reports indicating that their rift is “very bad.” A source close to the situation recently shared with People magazine that while the brothers are experiencing significant tension, their relationship is not deemed “irreparable.” This suggests that there may still be opportunities for reconciliation in the future.
The origins of their strained relationship can be traced back to 2016, when concerns began to surface about the pace of Harry’s romance with Meghan Markle. William reportedly expressed worries about how quickly things were progressing, which seemed to set the stage for ongoing tension between the brothers.
The last time they were seen together in public as a united front was following the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022, a poignant moment that highlighted the deep familial ties they share, despite the ongoing discord.
In his memoir, “Spare,” Harry offered a candid glimpse into his relationship with William, recounting various altercations and disagreements that have occurred over the years. These insights paint a picture of two brothers who, despite their royal status, have experienced the same kinds of conflicts that many siblings face.
British historian Robert Lacey, in his book “Battle of Brothers: William and Harry: The Inside Story of a Family in Tumult,” delves deeper into their feud, suggesting that their differences are rooted in their upbringing. Lacey posits that William has embraced his father’s sense of duty, while Harry has actively sought to avoid making the “same mistake” as their parents, which adds layers to their complex dynamic.
The public divide between Harry and the royal family became glaringly apparent in 2020 when he and Meghan stepped back from their roles as senior members of the royal family and relocated to the United States.
Currently, it seems that William has been avoiding all forms of communication from Harry, including calls, texts, and messages. This mirrors the behavior of their father, King Charles III, who has reportedly also stopped taking Harry’s calls. The source indicated that Harry’s ongoing security concerns are central to the issues he faces with his family, adding yet another layer of complexity to an already fraught situation.
As the drama unfolds, a new interview featuring Prince Harry and Meghan Markle is set to air on CBS this Sunday, which could shed more light on their perspectives. Amidst all this, reports have surfaced that Meghan is eager to “let go” of ongoing lawsuits, suggesting a desire for a fresh start. The future of the brothers’ relationship remains uncertain, but for now, the possibility of healing is still on the table.
