Prince Harry's recent visit to the UK didn't include a meeting with Prince William, underscoring the rift between the brothers.
Royal commentator Pandora Forsyth highlights that reconciling the Royal family's former 'fab four' depends on all parties setting aside their egos.
Since stepping back as senior royals in 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have faced strained relations with the monarchy, particularly Prince William and Kate Middleton.
Their relocation to California has widened the gap, marked by public criticisms of the British press and the Royal Family, including a televised interview with Oprah Winfrey and Prince Harry's forthcoming memoir, which includes damning allegations against his family.
During his recent visit to the UK to see King Charles after his cancer diagnosis, Prince William didn't arrange a meeting with his estranged brother. The siblings reportedly haven't spoken since King Charles's Coronation ceremony in May 2023.
Discussing the prospect of reconciliation, Forsyth remains optimistic about a reunion of the royal foursome but stresses that it's not just the brothers who need to reconcile; Princess Kate and Meghan Markle also share a strained relationship.
Forsyth recalls their previous tensions while working together and urges the royal couples to prioritize the monarchy's well-being over personal grievances.
"Everyone needs to set aside their egos and prioritize the monarchy's interests. Can forgiveness and reconciliation happen? It's uncertain," she remarked.
Forsyth speculates that the Prince and Princess of Wales might feel frustrated by their inability to address the Sussexes' allegations openly in recent years, adding another layer to the complexity of the situation.
