Despite the passage of time, Prince William and Kate Middleton harbor dissatisfaction with Prince Harry's actions and revelations outlined in his tell-all memoir.
Prince Harry's exposé, "Spare," delves into the clashes between himself and the Prince of Wales, as well as the strained relationship between Meghan Markle and Kate, Princess of Wales. This candid narrative has not endeared Meghan's husband to Kate and William, who reportedly maintain a strong sense of hostility towards him for airing royal secrets so publicly.
Although King Charles showed signs of softening towards his younger son after a 'warm' phone call on his 75th birthday, the Waleses are not eager to facilitate an easy healing of the rift.
According to a recent report by Katie Nicholl in Vanity Fair, the Waleses are unwilling to be in the same room as Harry and Meghan, let alone spend Christmas with them. Despite the monarch's desire for a Christmas gathering with his sons and grandchildren, the prospect is complicated by the deep-seated hostility, particularly from William and Kate.
A royal insider revealed to Nicholl that the complexity of the situation makes it "very difficult" for a reconciliation, and the chances of the Sussexes joining a Christmas celebration with the rest of the royal family seem remote.
