Prince Harry’s hopes of resuming his role as a working royal seem to have been decisively dashed. Sources reveal that his brother, Prince William, has firmly “shut the door” on any potential return, severing the trust he once held in Harry. Despite any wishes Harry may have for reconciliation, William reportedly remains adamant, doubting that Harry can handle even a reduced role within the royal structure. This tension suggests a hardening divide in their relationship, with trust being an apparent casualty.
William’s Perception of Harry and Meghan’s Influence
According to insiders, William holds a low opinion of Harry’s judgment, suggesting he finds him overly susceptible to poor influences. Allegedly, William sees Harry’s actions as impulsive and his choices as reflecting limited foresight, further complicating any reconciliation. Sources add that William considers Harry’s wife, Meghan Markle, a manipulative influence, deepening the divide between the brothers. William is reportedly perplexed by Harry’s choice to distance himself so publicly, especially through his memoir Spare and the revealing Oprah interview, which strained their familial bond and tarnished Harry’s former role.
Reflecting on Harry’s Departure and Public Revelations
William’s frustration appears to stem from Harry’s choice to jeopardize the privileges and responsibilities of royal life, privileges William believes could have allowed them to champion meaningful causes. To William, Harry’s actions are difficult to comprehend, with some sources suggesting that William views them as stemming from poor judgment rather than thoughtful conviction. Insiders claim William has concluded that Harry’s choices reflect a lack of intelligence, impairing his understanding of the damage he has caused both personally and publicly.
Harry and Meghan’s Financial Ventures and Challenges
Outside of royal duties, Harry and Meghan have sought financial independence by securing high-profile entertainment deals, such as contracts with Spotify and Netflix. However, these deals have reportedly encountered setbacks. Spotify ended their agreement, while Netflix has already canceled one of Meghan’s projects. Compounding these challenges, their publicized ventures have sometimes clashed with sensitive moments for the royal family, such as Princess Catherine’s health battles, further complicating family dynamics and stirring tensions.
No Signs of Reconciliation Between the Brothers
It is increasingly evident that reconciliation remains unlikely. Sources suggest that William has no intention of welcoming Harry back into royal duties and feels that his stance is aligned with the late Queen Elizabeth’s wishes. While Harry has signaled a willingness to return if his brother were to apologize, William has dismissed this, believing Harry should apologize for his own actions. This perspective reflects William’s belief that Harry’s lack of awareness poses a threat to the monarchy and that creating distance is essential to preserve its stability.
