The rift between Prince William and Prince Harry continues to deepen, with reports suggesting that William would prefer his brother to be absent from his future coronation. Sources close to the Duke of Cambridge have indicated that he wants the ceremony to stand out and believes Harry’s presence would detract from that. The brothers’ relationship has been fractured for almost two years, with Harry stepping back from his royal duties in 2020 and relocating to California with his wife, Meghan Markle.
Since then, Harry has publicly criticized his family in a 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, the Netflix series “Harry & Meghan,” and his memoir, “Spare.” The memoir, in particular, has been met with criticism from within the royal family, with Harry’s revelations about his brother and stepmother, Queen Consort Camilla, causing further tension.
While King Charles is reportedly still hopeful for reconciliation with his son, there are concerns within the royal family about the potential impact of Harry’s presence at the coronation. One of the King’s friends expressed worry about the possibility of further revelations in a potential “Spare” volume two, stating, “How do you regain the trust? I don’t think Harry ever can.”
Despite the strained relationship, King Charles reportedly believes that a reconciliation with Harry is still possible. However, the Duke of Sussex’s actions have led to a significant loss of trust among other members of the royal family. The ongoing feud raises questions about the future of the royal family and the potential reconciliation between the brothers.
