Prince Harry awaits ‘tougher obstacle’ amid strained relationship with William

Prince Harry’s recent revelations in his memoir ‘Spare’ have sparked concerns about the possibility of repairing his relationship with his brother, Prince William. The Prince of Wales is reportedly deeply ‘hurt’ by Harry’s derogatory comments about his wife, Kate Middleton, making reconciliation a challenging prospect.

In ‘Spare,’ Harry provided an intimate look into his experiences and perspectives, including contentious details about the behavior of William and Princess Kate towards him and his wife, Meghan Markle. These disclosures, along with the couple’s interview with Oprah Winfrey and recent allegations of racism within the royal family by Omid Scobie, have significantly strained their relations with other senior royal family members.

Robert Hardman, the author of the recently published book “Charles III: New King. New Court. The Inside Story,” commented on the impact of Harry’s words, particularly his veiled criticisms of the new Princess of Wales. Speaking with Hello! magazine, Hardman pointed out that Prince William values his family’s privacy intensely. The public exposure of personal stories and childhood experiences has been a source of profound pain for William.

Hardman noted the complexity of the situation, acknowledging the deep wounds caused by Harry’s public disclosures. He, however, also reflected on the historical resilience and adaptability of the royal family, suggesting that while the current rift seems profound, there is always a possibility for change and reconciliation, told Express.

In conversation with Hello!, he explained, “William is a very private man, who guards his family’s privacy very, very closely. And so, to have so many tender childhood secrets, stories and conversations just chucked out into the public domain, I think that hurt.”

“I just think that’s a tougher obstacle. But as we’ve seen with the royals, all through the years, and all through history – never say never. Things change, they move on, and we all adapt to make concessions and get over things,” Robert added. 

This perspective offers a glimmer of hope amidst the current strained relations, hinting at the potential for healing and understanding in the future. The royal family’s history of navigating personal and public challenges suggests that, despite the current difficulties, there may still be a path forward for Harry and William to mend their relationship.
