This week, to many royal fans’ disappointment, it was confirmed that Prince Harry and his spouse, Meghan Markle, will not be joining Queen Elizabeth II for the Christmas holiday.
And there is a possibility that Prince Harry’s strained relationship with Prince William might have played a role in his decision to stay in California.
The day Prince Harry decided to step down from his royal duties, the bond between the brothers was broken.
The relationship further deteriorated after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle took part in a series of interviews where they portrayed almost every single member of the royal family in a negative light.
Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, 37, infuriated the future king of England by claiming that he was trapped in the palace walls. Prince Charles also went under the bus for his failed parenting skills.
And Prince William’s wife, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, who is the kingdom’s most protected jewel, was mentioned by Meghan Markle during her bombshell exchange with Oprah Winfrey.
Meghan Markle revealed that Kate Middleton made her cry the days leading to her royal wedding over the attires of the flower girls.
The princes have met twice this year for somber events, where they made small talks but have not been able to work through their issues.
In a new interview, royal author Robert Lacey revealed that at a recent event, Prince William hinted zero effort had been made between himself and his younger brother to repair the damages and mend their broken relationship.
Talking to Page Six, the royal expert stated that the Duke of Cambridge‘s behavior at a party confirmed that the duo would not reconcile anytime soon.
Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, 39, held a lavish event to thank a group of wealthy donors who paid for the statue of Princess Diana.
The author of Battle of Brothers: William, Harry and the Inside Story of a Family in Tumult, said he spoke to two people who attended the glitzy affair, and they claimed that Prince William made it clear that he is still raging with anger against his brother.
The royal commentator said the relationship between the siblings was “poor, definitely poor.”
He continued to share what the party attendees said: “I’ve spoken to two people from that party, and it was quite clear from things he said that his anger towards Harry remains. He remains unhappy about what his brother has done. There is no immediate possibility of any reconciliation.”
The expert went on to say that Prince Harry is not rushing to end the feud either. He said: “I mean, it’s not wanted on either side. Too many bitter things have been said.”
Another royal expert previously claimed that while Prince William could overlook what was said about him, he will never forgive the Sussexes for dragging Kate Middleton into the royal drama.
