William Unlikely to Support Monarch’s Efforts to Welcome Harry Back
King Charles, reportedly seeking to reconcile with his youngest son, Prince Harry, could face significant challenges within his own family. The 75-year-old monarch, who is said to be seeking "spiritual nourishment" from religious leaders to cope with the ongoing family crisis, appears determined to forgive Harry and mend their relationship.
However, this path to reconciliation may not be smooth, as Prince William is expected to resist his father’s efforts to bring Harry back into the royal fold. Experts suggest that William may defy the King’s decision, particularly after Harry’s public criticisms of the Firm and senior royals.
The strained relationship between the two brothers is widely viewed as difficult to repair. Journalist Nigel Nelson, speaking on GB News, remarked, "King Charles has always been devout, much like his mother. He may want to forgive Harry and bring him back into the fold, but the source of this spiritual advice is unclear."
Nelson further elaborated on the brothers' feud, suggesting that if anyone could mend the rift, it would be their father. However, the task remains daunting, with Harry needing to make his own efforts to restore trust.
A source told The Sunday Times that the royal family remains concerned about potential leaks, especially after the publication of Harry’s memoir Spare. "The problem for the King and other members of the family is the worry that if they have a chat with Harry, it will appear in Spare volume two. How do you regain the trust? I don’t think Harry ever can," the source said. Despite this, the King’s capacity to forgive remains strong, though other family members are less inclined to reconcile.
While Prince William has reportedly closed the door on Harry, his wife Catherine, who is currently undergoing chemotherapy following her cancer diagnosis, is thought to be more willing to forgive, still holding some affection for the Duke.
