Prince Harry and Prince William may have met each other over the late Prince Philip’s funeral, but they are not currently on speaking terms.
Prince Harry and Prince William ‘Are Not Talking At The Moment’
That is according to Royal expert Nick Bullen. While there is nothing to suggest that the duo’s relationship has worsened, it had been hoped that the pair could have put their differences behind them. After all, cameras had shown that they were making small talk at the funeral. However, in an interview with Us Weekly, Nick said: “All of my sources tell me that they are not talking at the moment.”
On closer inspection, Nick’s observations seem to be on point. Although the two did exchange some words, it was always in the presence of others. Take, for example, the role of Kate Middleton. She was often seen as a mediator when she accompanied William and Harry during the funeral. Not only that, given William and Harry did not walk side by side, it marked a significant departure from the usual proceedings that they had exhibited during their mother’s funeral.
That did not stop Kate from trying to mend things, though. Nick added: “It’s pretty clear that the Duchess of Cambridge was doing her best to build the bridges. Softly, softly seems to be the order of the day.” So, where do the duo go from here? They will have another opportunity to fix things, as Harry is reportedly set to return to the UK in order to attend a ceremony celebrating the erection of a statue in honour of Princess Diana.
As both William and Harry hold their late mother in high regard, this would be the perfect opportunity to bury the hatchet. Despite that, the divisions between Meghan Markle and Kate have not helped things, though. Meghan’s failure to attend the funeral, albeit on medical advice, suggests that there is still a divide within the ranks.
Her absence raised more questions, especially since she made the most controversial revelations in the CBS interview. And yet, for all of the enthusiasm, there has not been a single apology nor admission in response to Meghan’s revelations. Until this has been done, do not expect this to die down anytime soon.
