Since stepping down as a senior royal in 2020 and relocating to the US, Prince Harry’s ties with King Charles and Prince William have fractured.
His explosive interviews and tell-all memoir, filled with damaging allegations against the royal family, only deepened the divide. While Charles is said to still miss his “darling boy,” William has been far less forgiving of his younger brother’s public criticisms.
Royal expert Kristen Meinzer believes Harry’s feud with William will be much harder to repair than his strained relationship with his father.
The King vs. The Brother
Although Harry has spoken openly about his grievances, Charles and William have stayed silent. Reflecting on the dynamic, Meinzer told *Us Weekly*, “I think that Harry’s relationship with his brother is a different beast than his relationship with his father. But perhaps if Charles warms more to Harry, William will feel compelled to follow his lead.”
Her comments came shortly after reports of a “secret summit” between Harry’s private secretary, Meredith Maines, and Charles’s communications secretary, Tobyn Andreae. They were even spotted with Liam Maguire, who leads the Sussexes’ UK PR team, fueling speculation about possible peace talks.
