Experts say Harry has tried to reconnect, but William remains silent, and the two haven’t spoken since the Queen Elizabeth II funeral in 2022.
Their tensions grew after Harry and Meghan Markle stepped back from royal duties in 2020 and moved to the U.S., followed by interviews, a Netflix series, and Harry’s memoir Spare.
Commentators describe William as focused on duty, choosing to ignore the “drama” and protect the monarchy. Some say he holds firm loyalties and doesn’t easily forget conflicts, while others view his approach as strong leadership rather than personal resentment.
Although the brothers were once close—especially after losing Princess Diana—experts believe tensions had been building for years.
For now, reconciliation seems unlikely, as William continues prioritizing his responsibilities and family over repairing the relationship.
