Warring brothers Prince Harry and Prince William have been forced to go through all the stages before ending their relationship.
For a time, there was a lot of anger on both sides. Prince Harry used interviews, his Netflix series, and his book Spare to destroy his brother’s reputation.
Prince William did not take it lying down — he found multiple ways to punish his brother, using the media and anonymous sources.
The heir played a part in evicting Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, from Frogmore Cottage and banned the pair and their children, Archie and Lilibet, from all family functions.
Prince William has already decided that Prince Harry and his family will not be welcome at his coronation. The anger was followed by a moment of grief.
It was claimed that the brothers were hurting to see where the drama took them. For a split second, it was revealed that Kate Middleton was plotting to reunite her husband and her brother-in-law.
However, the passing of time and the distance led to the inevitable — the duo has now forgotten about each other, the past they shared, or the blood that connects them.
Prince Harry confirms that Prince William has reached the final stage of their relationship.
The Duke of Sussex celebrated his 39th birthday while in Germany for the Invictus Games, surrounded by Meghan Markle, friends, and the veterans competing.
However, it seems that he confirmed what the world already suspected, King Charles III, Prince William, and Kate Middleton failed to wish him a happy birthday.
According to GB News and royal expert Charles Rae, “Prince Harry’s off-camera remark about the Royal Family not wishing him a happy birthday.”
Royal expert and journalist Jennie Bond weighed in to say that Prince William was “hurt so deeply” by Prince Harry that he would not send a birthday wish — not privately and certainly not publicly.
Bond told The Sun’s Fabulous Magazine: “There is no way back for the brothers. I just can’t see it. Because of these entrenched positions and the fact Harry has visited the UK without either of them, as far as we know, lifting a finger to phone, text, or meet up, I really can’t see them mending the rift any time soon.”
According to the author, Prince William has erased Prince Harry from his mind.
She shared: “William is hurt so deeply that I think he probably just blanks Harry out of his mind most of the time. He has moved on with his life, and I guess so has Harry.”
It seems unlikely that the two brothers will reconcile anytime soon.
