Prince William ‘adamant’ that Prince Harry will never be welcomed back into royal fold
Prince Harry and Prince William reportedly haven't spoken since their grandmother's funeral two years ago, and a royal expert claims elder brother William is hung up over one particular comment made in Spare
There may be no coming back for warring brothers Prince William and Prince Harry and one particular issue is to blame, according to one expert.
The princes appear to have severed ties after Harry quit royal duties to embark on a new life in California with his wife Meghan Markle. The publication of the duke’s controversial memoir Spare in January 2023 soured relations after the younger brother railed against his family.
Harry used the bombshell book to allege that Prince William called his wife ‘difficult’, ‘rude’ and ‘abrasive’ and that he had been pushed by him into a dog bowl. It was also claimed that King Charles was jealous of the Prince and Princess of Wales and that Charles refused to allow Meghan to join her husband in Scotland as the late Queen was dying.
As speculation continues to swirl over whether the princes could ultimately bury their rift, former BBC Royal correspondent Michael Cole thinks otherwise, arguing that the future King is “adamant” in his stance.
The expert has said there will be “no softening” of William’s approach to Harry, who has done “the unthinkable”. “What [men] cannot put up with are two things which they cannot abide with,” Mr Cole told GB News America. “Their driving ability, and they certainly cannot allow their wife to be criticised.”
This comes as Prince Harry’s next major trip has been announced. Following a tour in Colombia with Meghan, Harry is set for a solo event, this time to visit New York. While Harry will be in the Big Apple to “advance a number of his patronages and philanthropic initiatives”, according to a spokesperson, it was feared there could have been an awkward run-in with William. Harry’s trip overlaps with the 2024 Earthshot Prize Innovation Summit, scheduled for September 24, and while it is one of William’s key areas of work, he is not believed to be in attendance this year.
