BBC’s Royal Correspondent, Jennie Bond recently told an outlet that William has always had a “strong character”, noting that his childhood made him “resolute” and “tough”. She also adds that he now has a reputation of being stubborn; once he has made up his mind, he sticks to it.
Prince William’s “Tough” Stance Prince Harry’s Actions
With both Kate Middleton and King Charles fighting their respective cancer diagnoses, the Prince of Wales has taken on a more leadership role. Bond states, “He is definitely someone who commands respect within the family and whose views hold considerable sway.
Obviously, as heir to the throne, his word carries a lot of weight in the family and I think it’s true that he has been prepared to take a tough stand on a number of issues, including [Princes] Andrew and Harry.”
Ok! Magazine has reported that William won’t likely make room for his younger brother Harry to come back to the Royal Family fold during this time.
Hilary Fordwich, a Royal expert recently noted to an outlet that “It is widely known within the family that Prince William has laid down an absolute ban on Harry returning in any way, shape or form into his former Royal family fold.”
Harry has stated in the past, he wants “a family, not an institution”; however, his move to the United States has clearly created a wedge between him and the Royals.
Could Anyone Change Prince Williams’ Mind?
Fordwich goes on to say, “If anyone will relent, it would be King Charles III, whom, of course, Prince William won’t challenge, who still misses his ‘darling boy’ and would like to see more of Prince Harry.
However, to this day, after the release of Spare and the Netflix serial, as well as with everything else Harry has said, done, and not done, it’s Prince William who adamantly refuses to even speak to his brother.”
As a refresher, Harry claimed his brother William physically assaulted him in his book, Spare.
Fordwich claims that Prince William is the most unlikely with the Royals to forgive Harry for all he’s said and done. She also states that William is seen and been accepted as the Royal family “enforcer” taking a hard stance within a “ruler role” as his grandfather, Prince Philip once had.
This past February, Charles and Harry reunited after he was diagnosed with cancer. Still, reports reveal that Harry and William continue to live separate lives.

William cannot trust Harry. Until he can, he needs to keep Harry at a distance.
As the future king it would concern me that the words ‘compromise ‘ and ‘forgiveness ‘ are not part of his vocabulary or, for that matter, his moral values.
Harry has moved world’s away but the media keeps trying to sell the idea that he’s dying to get back into the royal family. This couldn’t be further from the truth and his actions clearly support this. While he may still want to maintain some modicum type of relationship with his father, I think he is glad to be away with that sh@tshow that is the royal family.
I don’t think I could forgive Harry for the harsh words. He has said some very very hurtful stuff, that will always be at the back of everyone’s minds.
I quite understand Williams stance on this . It must still hurt.
I believe William has to show a strong front against both Andrew and Harry now. We dontknow how serious Kung Charles’ cancer is, but I’m pretty sure William could, at least for appearance’s sake, allow Harry back if the king becomes very I’ll. However, Harry attacked not only William, but also Catherine, as well as the nstitution. I think William would find that unforgivable.
Harry has really burnt his bridges. I support William’s decision not to allow Harry and his wife back in. They have made their home in the USA.
William is a pompous ass , if you can’t forgive your brother, who can you forgive? Remember, karma.
Harry is entitled to a life free from hypocrisy. It would appear that he and his wife were mistreated by various members of the Royal Family. Perhaps those involved should acknowledge this and then allow Harry and his family to still have a relationship with the Royals built on honesty and compassion.
I think they both need to grow up. More than that I believe Megan is at the root of the problem. She leads Harry’s actions as I believe he is a follower.
I think Prince William is right. Harry made his bed no one else.What he said and put in his book was horrible. King Charles’s III and Prince William are his family..you don’t do hurtful things to your family for money..that’s wrong..
Although I believe in forgiveness as Jesus Christ has commanded us to do, He also talks about 7 things He detects with the 7th being dissension. I am the youngest of 5 from a messed up background and loved all my family. Although there are times when healing begins. Harry and his American irascible spouse have exposed and slandered the Royal family in ways that if he abhors them so bad, then give up everything. But look at all the money to be made in America. What good is gaining the whole world yet lost your soul. Peace.
I feel that all of the Royal Family need counseling! You all are as dysfunctional as they come. Air your dirty laundry behind closed doors. And remember You Father in Heaven expects you to forgive and to move on with love and understanding. No one person is perfect, if so you would have been ascended to Heaven by now.
