Prince Harry and Prince William's feud has reportedly reached an all-time high, with reconciliation seemingly off the table. The rift between the once-close brothers appears insurmountable as Harry, 41, prepares to return to the UK for the Invictus Games in July.
Harry's UK Visit Plans
The Duke of Sussex is reportedly hoping to bring his wife, Meghan Markle, and their two children, Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five, to the UK. However, a reunion with his brother is not expected.
Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield told Sky News Australia: "Actions have consequences and reconciliation with Prince William appears further away than ever before. Harry claims he wants his children to know the United Kingdom."
Relationship Strain
Schofield emphasized that the relationship cannot be rebuilt through press briefings. She noted that Harry's team communicates his intentions, but the lack of direct family interaction is telling.
"The challenge is, that relationship can't be rebuilt through press briefings. We only know that because his team are telling us, because Harry tells the BBC in a sit down, or in my opinion, extortion, by refusing to bring your children around your family without your preferred security," she said.
She added: "I think Invictus will always give Harry a reason to come back to the UK, but whether it gives him a path back to his family is a different question entirely."
Children Missing Out
The presenter argued that Harry and Meghan's children are missing out on relationships with their cousins, Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 11, and Prince Louis, eight. Schofield claimed she doesn't believe Lilibet has met Prince William or Princess Kate.
"I don't believe that they've met Lili at all," she said, noting that the Wales children are "joyful" due to strong bonds with other cousins like Zara Tindall's and Princess Beatrice and Eugenie's children.
Schofield observed: "We don't get a lot of glimpses of Harry and Meghan's kids, but they look lonely from the glimpses we do get on social media, thanks to Meghan."
Meghan's Potential Return
It remains uncertain whether Meghan and the children will join Harry. TalkTV star Ash Gould suggested the Duchess of Sussex, 44, might avoid the trip due to a likely negative reception.
"She would just get booed, wouldn't she?" he claimed, adding: "There is always an open door for Harry."
