And a new report uncovers William’s reasons for his feelings about Harry.
But Kate Middleton also feels hurt over the situation. And King Charles feels he can no longer trust Harry. Keep reading to learn if a royal reconciliation could happen anytime soon.
Prince Harry Made Prince William ‘Incredibly Upset’
Royal expert Katie Nicholl has talked with insiders about the feud between Prince William and Prince Harry. And those sources shared that the two brothers have not communicated at all “for some time.”
But Nicholl also told ET that the cold war between William and Harry dates back to the release of Harry’s memoir, Spare.

“My royal sources say that any chance of a reconciliation really isn’t ruled out,” added Nicholl. “But it’s certainly not going to happen anytime soon. Prince William is still incredibly upset with Harry’s autobiography, which, of course, really cast William in a pretty bad light. No one’s going to forget anytime soon the stories of them coming to physical blows.”
And Harry alleging that William shoved him, pushing him to the ground and onto a dog bowl, made William especially irate. As a result, the two brothers “don’t talk,” summed up Nicholl. “There hasn’t been any contact between them for some time now is my understanding.”
Kate Middleton Feels ‘Devastated’
And the royal expert shared that Kate Middleton sides with her husband. As for if William could forgive Harry anytime soon?
Nicholl revealed, “I’m told by several sources close to the Prince of Wales that William really just cannot find it in his heart at the moment to forgive his brother for what he’s done.”

And the royal expert pointed out that Princess Kate Middleton used to enjoy “a very close relationship with Prince Harry. But she’s been left quite devastated by some of the anecdotes that Harry told in Spare that didn’t cast her in a particularly good light. I think there’s a great sense of betrayal,” added Nicholl.
And Harry also probably will not spend anytime in the near future with William or his father, King Charles III.
As a result, the royal expert feels that the lack of any plans for a family reunion “really gives us quite an indication as to the state of the relationship both between Prince Harry and his father and with his brother.”
King Charles Can’t Trust Harry
Because Harry devoted so much space to criticizing the royal family in his memoir, Charles has limited his communication with his son.
And Nicoll pointed to “so much criticism leveled at the royal family, really personal criticism leveled at Camilla, the Queen in [Harry’s] autobiography. That was very below the belt as far as the king was concerned. I think that has really damaged Harry’s relationship with Charles.”
And an issue of trust exists as well. Charles may want to talk with Harry. But the King worries that Harry could use any comments as fodder for the media. “Charles, I think, is more keen for some sort of reconciliation,” said Nicoll. “He’d like to have a sit-down and talk with his son.”
However, King Charles feels “a genuine concern that anything he says could then be sort of retold via Harry to a news media outlet,” she added. “Because that’s what’s happened in the past. I think there is a real trust issue at stake here.”
Tell us what you think. Do you feel that William and Charles should forgive Harry? Or do you think that Harry needs to apologize to his brother and father?
