Prince Harry's recent reunion with his father, King Charles, has sparked speculation about a potential reconciliation between the two. However, experts believe that Prince William is unlikely to forgive his brother for his past actions. The Duke of Sussex flew from California to the UK after learning of his father's cancer diagnosis, but his visit did not include a meeting with Prince William. While there may be hope for a future reconciliation, it is expected to be a long and difficult process.
A Sign of Possible Reconciliation
Royal commentator Richard Fitwilliams believes that Prince Harry's gesture of flying to the UK to support his father is a positive sign. He suggests that in the coming weeks and months, there may be an opportunity for reconciliation between the family members. Fitwilliams emphasizes the importance of putting aside feuds and disagreements for the sake of solidarity during this challenging time.
No Chance of Forgiveness from Prince William
Royal biographer Angela Levin, however, is less optimistic about a reconciliation between Prince William and Prince Harry. She states that Harry's expectations of his brother dropping everything to see him are unrealistic. Levin suggests that Harry's dramatic visit might have been motivated by a desire to generate material for another documentary. She believes that Prince William, who is already furious with his brother, will not be welcoming him with open arms.
A Difficult Road to Reconciliation
Levin believes that a reconciliation between Prince Charles and Prince Harry is more likely than one between Prince William and his brother. She acknowledges that Charles may still love Harry but not approve of his actions. The meeting between Charles and Harry was likely awkward, as Harry still seeks an apology for the alleged mistreatment of Meghan Markle. Levin also suggests that Meghan may exert control over Harry's visits, possibly to boost their popularity.
The Risk of Talking to Harry
Levin adds that it may be risky for members of the Royal Family to engage in conversations with Prince Harry. She mentions a joke among senior royals that the only safe topic to discuss with Harry is the weather. This highlights the strain and tension that exist within the family dynamic.
Prince William Returns to Royal Duties
In other news, Prince William has resumed his royal duties for the first time since his father's cancer diagnosis. Despite initially planning to step back for several weeks, William held an investiture at Windsor Castle and attended the London Air Ambulance fundraising gala. His active involvement aims to reassure the public during this challenging time.
