Prince William and Prince Harry have not spoken in several years, and the future King is not expected to see his younger brother during Harry's upcoming visit to the UK next month, according to royal sources.
William's Unyielding Stance
On a recent episode of Daily Expresso, host JJ Anisiobi told columnist Carole Malone that William is unlikely to lower his guard. Anisiobi said: "According to palace aides, William is known to hold a grudge, and he cannot forgive his brother for what Harry's put the family through."
Ms Malone added: "Of course, he's never going to forgive [Harry and Meghan], and I don't blame them either."
Harry's Attempts at Contact
A fresh Vanity Fair report states that ties between William and Harry "remain at an all-time low." An insider told the publication: "Harry has tried to make contact repeatedly, but William won't take his calls."
Dan Wakeford, who runs the weekly Celebrity Intelligence newsletter, told Fox News Digital not to expect "a full reconciliation with the family."
King Charles Seeks Reconciliation
Unlike William, King Charles is said to be keen to reconcile with Harry, especially with Harry's upcoming visit to the UK with his wife Meghan and their two children, Archie and Lilibet.
Royal author and historian Andrew Lownie said he believes the King shows a desire for "genuine reconciliation" with his youngest son. Mr Lownie added: "For many years now, these two royal dramas [Andrew and Harry] have been going on, and this one is now playing out. No one wants to fall out with their children, and I think there's a genuine personal desire here to see his grandchildren. But I also think the King believes that having an estranged royal is not good for the optics."
