Prince Harry and Prince William are keeping considerable distance in their relationship as the Duke of Sussex prepares for a possible family reunion in the UK. It seems the two brothers are growing closer rather than closer, despite Harry’s planned visit to see King Charles III.According to Us Weekly, the relationship between the brothers has deteriorated significantly, as Harry and William do not have regular contact. “There is no direct communication. William is not ready [to make up]”, the publication reported, indicating that the Prince of Wales is not ready to reconcile with his younger brother at this time.
Prince Harry longs for his brother despite public criticism
Despite publicly criticizing William in his memoir ‘Spare’, Harry says he has feelings of affection and nostalgia for his older brother. The insider revealed that Harry was missing his more brother who misses being part of the royal institution itself. “Harry misses William more than the institution,” the outlet reported.

The report explained the unique bond between the brothers, rooted in their shared childhood experiences. “I miss having someone who doesn’t need to be told anything. They are the only two people alive who know what their childhood was like,” the publication stated, referring to the loss of their mother, Princess Diana, in 1997. This observation highlights the unique understanding that exists between the two brothers regarding their formative years.
Kate Middleton efforts to bridge the gap
While William is reportedly “not expected” to meet Harry during the visit, Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, appears to be trying to facilitate a reconciliation between the brothers. “At the moment, William is not planning to be there, but things could change. Kate has been trying to convince William to meet Harry, Meghan [Markle] and the children [Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet],” according to Us Weekly.The princess is also keen to see her niece and nephew during the visit. “She is also interested in seeing the children. She hopes William will show up, but will respect his decision,” the outlet reported, highlighting Catherine’s diplomatic approach to the family situation.
