Have Prince Harry And Prince William Buried The Hatchet?

It was rumored that tension erupted between Prince Harry and his brother Prince William over the Megxit decision. Since Megxit Harry and his wife Meghan Markle have left the UK and abdicated any sense of duty to the crown, in exchange for a glam life in L.A.

Harry and his family are living in Tyler Perry’s mansion and shunning the media as they start their shiny new life, the one where they are financially independent.

Now, at least one royal expert thinks that the brothers may be coming around and past any distant tension.

Are Things Returning To Normal For Prince William And Prince Harry?

Royal watcher Katie Nicholl told Entertainment Tonight, “There have been clearly some quite major rifts in that relationship, but things have got better and I know that William and Harry are in touch on the phone. They have done video calls together, they have done a lot of family birthdays and I think with Prince Charles not being well, that really forced the brothers to pick up the phone and get back in touch.”

She is referring to Prince Charles, 71, who had a recent bout with coronavirus, a health battle he has won.

According to Nicoll, Charles’ health issue, plus Harry feeling homesick have contributed to a thawing of the freeze between the princes as well as between Markle and William’s wife Kate Middleton.

Has Coronavirus Brought William And Harry Closer?

Since the coronavirus outbreak, Harry and Meghan have been video chatting, and the royal family reportedly reunited virtually to celebrate their son Archie’s first birthday.

“I think there is a sense of relief on both sides that this high drama is now a thing of the past,” Nicholl said. “The Sussexes are free to get on with their new lives [and] the Cambridges can get back to their old lives without all the upset and drama that was clearly a big deal behind the scenes. I think Kate and William miss Harry and Meghan to a degree, but certainly, they miss Harry [being] around and part of their lives.”

Will The Sussexes Split Their Time Between The UK And The U.S. As They Asserted?

Nicoll does not think that the thaw will result in sudden trips home for Harry, however. “They will not be jumping on a plane all the time to come to Britain.

COVID has given them the opportunity to road test a way of working. These conference calls [are] a way for them to communicate and touch base with people back at home. I think COVID-19 has fast-tracked what was always going to be a future way of working for them, being so far away from many of their charities.”
