Prince William reportedly finds it difficult to understand the growing distance between him and his younger brother, Prince Harry. The emotional toll of their strained relationship, described as “a major loss” by royal expert Omid Scobie, suggests a fracture that may never fully heal.
In Scobie’s latest book, as The Mirror reports, the heir to the throne feels he has “lost his little brother for good” to a vastly different lifestyle in Hollywood. Sources quoted in the book claim William perceives Harry as having been “brainwashed” by an “army of therapists” who, in his view, may have manipulated him.
The situation has reportedly left Prince William disenchanted with his brother’s new outlook. According to insiders, William feels detached from “this version” of Harry, particularly due to what is described as Harry’s “California-style” self-importance.
The tension is not isolated to William alone. Kate Middleton is said to react to the mention of Meghan Markle with a mix of unease and amusement, reportedly “shuddering and giggling” at the thought of her sister-in-law.
This ongoing estrangement between the brothers and their families highlights a deeply personal and public royal divide. While both sides remain silent on specific details, the perception of irreparable damage continues to capture public attention, underlining the challenges of navigating personal relationships in the global spotlight.
