Prince Harry delivers fresh blow to Prince William that dashes hope of reconciliation

Prince Harry is set to return to the UK, and the upcoming visit has generated much speculation about whether or not it would mark a turning point in his relationship with his elder brother Prince William. For the last few years, Harry and William have had a strained relationship – seeing each other only at landmark moments for the monarchy, like the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and King Charles’ coronation.

However, it seems that royal fans who expected there would be some kind of reconciliation between the two once-close brothers during Harry’s visit may have their hopes dashed – at least for the time being. For now, it seems likely that King Charles and Prince Harry do intend to spend time together whilst the Duke of Sussex is in the UK, but this may not be the moment when Harry reunites with his brother.

Sources have revealed that although Harry is keen to meet his brother and talk face to face, this trip doesn’t look like it will be the occasion when that much-needed sitdown finally happens. Instead, the source claims, Harry and William’s relationship remains as strained as ever.

Their relationship remains extremely fractured. Harry has privately expressed a wish to sit down with his brother but now is not the time,” the insider said. It has been a stressful few months for Prince William who has dealing with a lot, with both his father and wife Princess Kate being treated for cancer – leaving the Prince of Wales trying to balance his royal duties with his responsibilities to his family.

They want a relationship with Meghan and Harry, and they don’t want the acrimony to carry over to the next generation. Obviously, the Duke and Duchess want their kids to have a relationship with their cousins,” the source is reported as saying.
