It is believed that the healing process between Prince Harry and his brother, Prince William, that many royal backers had hoped for did not occur during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and their children — Lilibet Diana and Archie — flew to London in hopes of spending some time with Queen Elizabeth II and the rest of the royal family.
That is not how things went down. Prince Harry and Markle were shut down from the royals the moment they landed in the UK via their private jet.
Buckingham Palace aides authorized the Queen to spend only 15 minutes of her precious time with her grandson and great-grandchildren.
Prince Harry and Markle, who caused chaos with “Megxit” followed by a series of bombshell interviews, were hoping to make amends with Prince William and other royal family members.
Prince William was not ready for a face-to-face with his brother and Markle during the Jubilee because he worried about embarrassing leaks.
Kate Middleton‘s husband is said to be still very troubled about the Sussexes’ decision to step down from their positions as senior members of the royal family and move to Markle’s native California.
Several reliable media outlets have revealed that there has been little to no communication between Prince Harry, Markle, Prince William, and Kate Middleton.
Prince Harry and his spouse were kept at arm’s length as they attended Queen Elizabeth’s Thanksgiving service at St Paul’s Cathedral.
Videos from the religious service showed Prince William, Middleton, and Prince Charles taking part in awkward choreography to avoid making eye contact with Prince Harry and Markle.
Markle and Prince Harry did not speak or have any contact with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge when the event ended.
Backers of Prince Harry and Markle slammed Prince William over a decision that they considered heartless and cold, him declining the invitation and olive branch to attend his niece, Lilibet Diana’s birthday party.
It appears that Prince William and Kate Middleton did not meet Lilibet during her first trip to England.
Prince William’s three children, Prince George, 8, Princess Charlotte, 7, and Prince Louis, 4, did not spend time with their cousins — Archie and Lilibet.
A friend of the future king of England has decided to explain and defend what is perceived as harsh behavior towards Prince Harry, Markle, and their children during the Platinum Jubilee.
The pal of the royal spoke to The Times and said that Prince William has not yet healed from the wounds that his brother opened with his decision to leave and to talk to the media about private family matters.
The person familiar with the situation said that the heir to the throne is “deeply upset” and added: “He’s still deeply upset about it and feels let down, but he’s moved on.”
The friend of the Duke of Cambridge revealed that he was concerned with the public reunion with his brother and sister-in-law and went on to say: “…because he was incredibly worried about having all the family there and what everyone was going to say. He was so relieved that most of the media made it all about the Queen, Prince Charles, and the children — they are the key people — and he was really pleased about that.”
Another royal source in England spoke to Page Six and shared more details about Prince William’s decision to stay away from his brother.
The royal insider said he could not sit down and talk to his brother because he feared all will be leaked.
The insider claimed: “Things are still fraught — William is still wary of spending any time alone with Harry as you never quite know what may be reported back afterward.”
Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, and his family have returned to California and are focused on their various projects, including a tell-all book and Netflix series.
