Prince Harry must “accept the realities” of his family’s present situation in order to avoid becoming the “problem child,” a royal author claimed. The harsh tirade came more than three years since the Duke of Sussex and his wife, Meghan Markle, made the contentious choice to step down as senior working royals and relocate to the U.S.
Prince Harry’s Rift With His Own Family Is Unlikely To Be Resolved Soon
After relocating to the United States, it became clear that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s reason for being would be to expose the inner workings of royal life. The Sussex pair’s now-famous 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, their six-part Netflix documentary, and Prince Harry's autobiography all pushed the monarchy on the defensive, raising challenging concerns about race and historical heritage.
During this time, Prince Harry's relationship with his brother, Prince William, is reported to have strained, but all hope is not gone, according to Clive Irving, author of “The Last Queen” and royal columnist for The Daily Beast. "I think that there's a relationship of sorts still existing, and that will probably mature as they both themselves mature,” he explained, as per Daily Express.
Clive also stated that there is no need for “reconciliation” or “stand up fight” between the brothers. "They can just accept the realities of the moment and hope that these will improve,” the royal author went on.
He added that Prince Harry does not want to be the “problem child,” so he would be wise to heed this advice. Clive also claimed that the husband of Meghan Markle does not want to get in the way of King Charles’ success on the throne. So, quite a number of royal followers are not convinced that reconciliation is even possible at this point.
Prince William, Princess Kate Should Stay Away From Prince Harry, Meghan Markle
Meanwhile, royal expert Tom Bower said that Prince William and Princess Kate would be “Well advised” to stay away from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. "They can only do them harm. Harry and Meghan have only said awful things about William and Kate. Why on earth should William and Kate forgive them?" he told Express U.S.
Tom was alluding to comments in the Duke's book that cast Prince William and Princess Kate in a bad light. Prince Harry alleges his brother physically assaulted him at one point during their feud over his marriage to Meghan Markle.
In another part of the memoir, Prince Harry claims Princess Kate made his wife cry over bridesmaid outfits before their wedding in 2018. This is also a claim that Meghan Markle made during one of her interviews following the royal couple’s infamous “Megxit.”
