William & Harry: The Unbridgeable Royal Divide
19 Feb
Summary
- Prince William believes he no longer recognizes Prince Harry.
- Trust is absent between the royal brothers, a key to reconciliation.
- William focuses on duty and the future, while Harry nurses old wounds.

The relationship between Prince William and Prince Harry has reached an absolute divide, with reports suggesting Prince William feels he no longer recognizes his younger brother. This profound estrangement stems from Prince Harry's departure from royal duties and subsequent move across the Atlantic.
Sources close to the palace indicate that trust, a fundamental element for reconciliation, is completely absent between the brothers. One former courtier noted that discussions about 'the other side' were effectively banned following a joint appearance.
Prince William is characterized as fully embracing his future role within the monarchy, focusing intently on duty and building a new path forward. In contrast, Prince Harry is perceived as dwelling on past grievances and 'yesterday's battles,' remaining entangled in unresolved issues.
This divergence in focus—William on duty and Harry on grievance—makes bridging the gap exceedingly difficult. The royal expert Robert Jobson stated that Prince William no longer needs Harry's 'drama' and that reconciliation requires compromise and trust, which currently does not exist between them.
