Following a recent 40th birthday message he made to his brother, Prince William wants to clarify the likelihood of whether he’ll end his frosty relationship with his estranged younger brother, Prince Harry. As the royal family continues to navigate internal conflicts, some sources close to Prince William have disclosed that he holds no positive intentions towards reconciling with Prince Harry for now.
Prince William’s Birthday Wish Sparks Speculation
On Sunday, September 15, Prince William and other leading members of the Royal Family, including his wife Catherine and father King Charles III, expressed their birthday wishes to the Duke of Sussex via their official social media handles. While the gesture might seem like an olive branch from William to Harry, reports indicate that it may not signal any movement toward reconciliation. As per The Daily Beast, a close friend of Prince William and Princess Catherine revealed that the Prince has no interest in or intention of reaching out to his brother or his wife Megan, Duchess of Sussex.
While the Prince extended public wishes to his brother, insiders say that behind the scenes, his priorities lie elsewhere. They say Prince William still hates the book Prince Harry wrote, which included some hurtful and unnecessary comments about Princess Catherine. According to an inside source, Prince William “regards what Harry said in his book as unforgivable and, understandably given Catherine’s cancer diagnosis, just wants to focus on his wife and family first and his job second.”
Family Priorities First
Prince William has emphasized virtue as a major part of the sense of duty he has as a prince. Recent changes in his personal life have made him even more concerned primarily with his family, especially since Princess Catherine has been recovering from chemotherapy treatment for cancer. The royal couple also want to shield their children from media attention and address the issues affecting their family privately.
Under such conditions, the Prince of Wales appears to have little time or interest in resolving issues with Prince Harry, especially those resulting from claims made in the latter’s memoir Spare. Some of the claims of the Duke of Sussex are thought to have taken a toll on the Prince of Wales, thus making it impossible for the brothers to resolve their issues.
The Strained Relationship Continues
It has been well documented that there is tension between the two brothers ever since Harry and Meghan decided to step down as senior royals in 2020. They only worsened after the couple’s television interviews and Harry’s book, which included some personal stories about his relations with his relatives. Although they have both been seen in the same place, such as at the Queen’s funeral and King Charles’ coronation, little has been done to show that the two are mending relations.
Currently, the Prince of Wales appears to be prioritizing family issues around him over any friendly or complicated effort to mend a problem. As future King, William is fully aware of his responsibilities, but he remains focused on Catherine’s health and his children’s well-being for now.
Final Thoughts: Future Prospects
Given the current situation, it seems that the rift between the brothers may continue for a while, unless something major changes within the family. Prince William’s recent focus is centered on his family as well as his princely responsibilities; thus, it is difficult to predict an early reunion with Prince Harry. The words of the birthday message do not imply that the person who wrote it is ready to reconcile the issues that they had, but the message itself was polite and friendly indeed.
