Where Prince William and Prince Harry Stand After King Charles Reunion

Prince William and Prince Harry remain at odds as the Duke of Sussex returns to the United States.

Prince Harry traveled back to his stomping grounds to mark the one-year countdown until the 2027 Invictus Games. His five-day trip turned into a family affair as he was accompanied by his wife, Meghan Markle, and their children, Archie and Lilibet.

During their time in the U.K., the Sussexes reunited with King Charles III and Queen Camilla, showing signs of reconciliation within the royal family. Nevertheless, the heir to the throne still has his feet dug into the ground.

A source told People the bond between Prince Harry and William remains “so broken.”

“I thought it would have perhaps eased a little bit by now, to be honest. But there has been no movement, especially on William’s side,” the source added. “There is no contact.”

According to Dan Wakeford, the founder of Celebrity Intelligence, royal sources believed Harry shouldn’t have expected “a complete reconciliation with the family” this time around. He told Fox News, “It’s a slight thaw and a good beginning.”

Prior to Prince Harry’s trip, he predicted, “A William and Catherine meeting is incredibly unlikely…[Harry] is not going to be meeting William. I cannot see that happening at all.

“The Wales household is completely bolted shut right now,” Wakeford continued. “[William’s] stance has not changed, and they would not arrange to see Harry and Meghan outside an official public engagement. And I don’t even think that is going to happen.”

There have been speculations of a rift between the brothers since 2018. Tensions have seemed to intensify since Harry and Meghan stepped down as senior royals and moved to Montecito, California.

It is believed the last time the two spoke to each other was briefly at the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022.
