Prince William is reportedly the least inclined royal to forgive his brother, Prince Harry, for their ongoing estrangement, a royal expert has claimed.
Speaking to OK! Magazine, royal commentator Hilary Fordwich highlighted that trust remains a significant obstacle between the two brothers. “With Prince Harry, it’s all an issue of trust,” she stated, emphasizing the depth of the divide.
Fordwich described William as having embraced a more assertive role within the royal family. “Prince William is the most unlikely royal to ever forgive Harry for his despicable indiscretions. He is now very much seen as the family enforcer, taking on the hard-line ruler role previously held by his grandfather, Prince Philip,” she explained.
The expert also suggested that William has drawn a firm line regarding Harry’s future within the monarchy. “It’s widely known within the family that Prince William has laid down an absolute ban on Harry returning in any way, shape, or form to his former royal family fold,” she revealed.
These comments come amidst reports that Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, have once again been left out of the royal family’s plans for the Christmas holiday at Sandringham. This marks the second consecutive year the couple has not received an invitation, fueling speculation of an enduring rift between the Sussexes and the rest of the royal family.
The absence of reconciliation continues to cast a shadow over the royal family, with little indication that the strained relationship will improve in the near future.
