Royal Expert Claims Senior Royals Show Little Interest in Mending Family Rift
Tensions remain high between Prince Harry and the senior royals, with King Charles and Prince William reportedly resisting any attempts at reconciliation, according to royal expert Jennie Bond.
While the Duke of Sussex has shown willingness to repair family ties, insiders suggest that it is his father and brother who remain unyielding. Bond remarked that Harry, once seeking apologies from the royals, has shifted his stance, now signaling a readiness to "let bygones be bygones." However, this shift has met with apparent resistance.
"Initially, it was Harry demanding an apology for perceived slights against his wife, Meghan. Now, the tables seem to have turned," Bond explained. "Harry has publicly expressed his love for his family and a desire to reconnect, but it is King Charles and Prince William who are holding back."
Despite Harry's efforts, including an unplanned visit to the UK upon learning of King Charles's cancer diagnosis, his attempts at reconciliation have reportedly been met with a cool response. The brief meeting lasted only 45 minutes before the King departed for Sandringham.
In subsequent visits, including an appearance at the Invictus Games service and the WellChild Awards, Harry received support from the Spencer family but had no contact with Charles or William. Even at a memorial service in August, the brothers were seen together but did not interact.
Bond noted that while Harry remains eager for a resolution, the firm stance of King Charles and Prince William continues to hinder any progress towards mending the fractured family ties.
