Prince William made a loud move this week that was heard worldwide. The heir to the throne stunned the media and likely his own brother with a public birthday message.
Kate Middleton and Prince William used their official Instagram accounts to wish Prince Harry a happy 40th birthday.
The message was short and straightforward, and it was accompanied by a picture of Prince Harry taken in 2018. However, hours after the post was shared, the hearsay, rumors, and mini scandals erupted.
Was Meghan Markle‘s cropped out of the picture by Palace officials? Was it a snub towards the former actress? Does the birthday message imply that there is reconciliation between the brothers?
Sources close to Prince William quickly cleared the air on some of these pressing matters with the following brutal revelations. There is no detente between the brothers.
King Charles III, 75 and battling cancer, had enough drama and demanded that Prince William and Middleton make a public gesture.
According to the person in the know who spoke to The Daily Beast, Prince William did not call his brother on his birthday. The friend told the media outlet that no contact would be made in the future.
To make it abundantly clear, Prince William is still furious at his younger brother for the painful and damaging rhetoric he has been spewing about the Royal Family.
The royal friend said: “The honest truth is that William has no interest right now in reaching out to Harry and Meghan. He regards what Harry said in his book (i.e., his memoir, Spare) as unforgivable and, understandably, given Catherine’s cancer diagnosis, wants to focus on his wife and family first and his job second. There isn’t space for a complicated reconciliation process with Harry. It’s not a priority.”
Friends close to Prince William confirmed to the publication that it was the most impersonal gesture he and Catherine, Princess of Wales, made towards a Royal Family member.
The statement, devoid of personal touch, was not signed with the initials “W & C,” indicating it was not a personal message from Prince William and Middleton.
The source added: “It was just a company thing. Happy birthday, blah blah blah.”
The insider revealed that The Prince of Wales was simply following orders from King Charles.
The family friend concluded by: “It makes sense for Kensington Palace and Buckingham Palace to align themselves on a little bit of essentially routine messaging around Harry. It shows William is willing to respect his father’s seniority and do what is asked of him.”
These brutal revelations behind the social media message are viewed as the worst gift that Prince Harry could have received.
