Royal experts have warned that the chances of Prince William and Prince Harry making up is unlikely. With Prince Harry and Prince William still not on speaking terms, a royal expert has suggested there is only one other member of the Royal Family who could help heal old wounds. The brothers have struggled with their relationship after a series of claims made by the Duke of Sussex since his move to the US with wife andn former Suits star Meghan Markle.
There were hopes that William and Harry could mend their damaged relationship after they were pictured together at Windsor Castle following the Queen’s death in September 2022. But since then, Harry has gone on to make more claims about his brother in his memoir Spare that was released earlier this year. Speaking to the Mirror US, former royal butler Paul Burrell said: “The only person that has a faint chance of reconciliation with the boys will be Kate.”
Kate was said to be close to Harry before he met now wife Meghan Markle, but their relationship was also subject to a few fall outs. Things turned personal when Harry claimed Kate had made Meghan cry in the run up to their wedding. He wrote that he came home to find Meghan “on the floor sobbing” after a row over bridesmaid dresses four days before the big day. Kate has never commented on the claims and is yet to give her side to the story.
Paul Burrell added: “So much has been said and people have been hurt. And I don’t think they can be mended right now; it’s going to take time. It’s still raw and the royals are not easy and forgiving. When something happens they pull the drawbridge up and you can’t get in.”
The walkabout following the Queen’s death was said to be one of the “hardest things” Kate has ever had to do. The two couples put on a united front as they greeted wellwishers and looked at tributes left following Her Majesty’s death. But with numerous claims made since their move to the US, Kate was said to have found the joint appearance difficult to handle at the time.
