By Kaiser Kate Middleton, Prince Harry, Prince William, Royals
Still on the rocks. Prince William has “not been in a good place” with Prince Harry for years, a source exclusively reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly. The Duke of Cambridge, 40, and his younger brother, 37, “hit rock bottom” after Harry and Meghan Markle sat down for a tell-all interview with CBS in March 2021, the insider says, adding that the bond between the siblings is “doomed” and “irreparable.”
Per the insider, William “doesn’t know who [Harry] is anymore and the trust between them is strained,” especially after the royal family was “burned so many times” by the Duke of Sussex’s vocal criticism. “They’ll never recover from the damage that has been done.”
Despite their different points of view, William “still loves his little brother,” per the insider. “He’s his own flesh and blood and that underlying affection will never go away. William’s not one to bear grudges but what’s right is right. He’ll be civil to a point, but he’s not going to play happy families with them again or pretend that everything’s A-OK when it’s anything but.”
Duchess Kate is doing her best to salvage the relationship between Prince William and Prince Harry, an insider exclusively reveals. “There’s a small glimpse of hope of saving the brothers from never speaking again: Kate,” the source tells Us of the Duchess of Cambridge, 40. “She can sense that despite everything that has happened, William still feels the loss of Harry.”
Kate, for her part, is “frantically trying to play peacemaker,” but so far her efforts have proved unsuccessful. “[She] had a quiet word with the boys separately, even going as far as calling Harry in Montecito and suggesting that he reach out to William on his birthday,” the insider adds. “The issue is William and Harry are both overly stubborn, so there’s not much hope.”

William may not know who Harry is, but we certainly know who William is: racist, jealous, vindictive, furious.

Another embiggening article for Kate. Luckily we saw her mean girl cosplay part 2 in full display in church when she glared across the aisle to mouth something with her husband studiously ignoring her and the object of her ire. I think they are trying to reverse the damage done by the ill-thought-jubbly PR when they made a point of running to the tabloids about not attending Lilibet’s party and the queen refusing to take a photo with her only grand daughter of mixed heritage. You’d think by now they would have learned their lesson.

Elizabeth- thank you for mentioning the nasty side eye glare. It was the first thing that came to mind. She isn’t good at playing the undercover peacemaker.

Saying they’re equally stubborn is saying William’s racism is on the same level as Harry trying to protect his family. And THAT is racism right there. What the royals don’t realize is that THEY are outing themselves as racists, not Harry. What, exactly did Harry say about William? That he’s “trapped,” which is not a big enough deal for William to be this butt-hurt for this long. But Harry spoke about unnamed racists who questioned the color of his future children, and THAT revelation would be enough to piss off William. William outed HIMSELF as the unnamed racist, by his own actions.

Yep@mrskrabapple, a person can stubbornly continue to be racist while another person can stubbornly refuse to accept racism. Technically, they’re both stubborn but equating it as the same is a complete fallacy. Useful tool for racists though.

CHCB, well, I’ve come to the conclusion that no one really new who Harry was before all of this happened. I think they believed their own spin of the dim Prince, who was used as a scapegoat for everything. If anyone had bothered to try to get to know him after his military service, they wouldn’t be so surprised about how he has reacted to everything. The brf may not know who Harry is, but he does know who they are.

I think you nailed it. I think William has primarily thought of Harry as his sidekick, and, particularly as an adult, has never bothered to get to know him as an individual, and possibly never viewed Harry as a separate person. William might not even be capable of seeing other people as autonomous— and completely separate from himself and his own needs.

You know how sad of a family they are? From reading his interviews during or about his service alone, a total stranger from the public like me from around the globe could see Harry was not happy as a royal and longed for another kind of lifestyle.
And this was a nearly a full decade before Meghan ever even came on the scene. He spoke how he wanted a normal life, went into the military for it, to be one of the blokes, his feelings were abundantly clear to anyone who cared to listen. None of his family cared to listen. His new family he created does though of that I’m certain.

1. Kate does not have any of their numbers.
2. I whole heartedly believe Will doesn’t know who Harry is as a person. Because I believe he’s NEVER known who Harry is as a person. He’s never put in the effort, only seeing Harry as the guy in the shadow to take the hits for him and do the work for him. Never as a person. Harry asserting not only his wife’s personhood but his was too much for Will and fried his circuits. It’s not how it was suppose to be according to him.

Yes, this. May i add that it doesn’t seem that William knows himself. He seems lost at 40; thus all the embiggening pieces. It takes a nasty combination of privilege, a lack of self-awareness, and coddling to have reached 40 without knowing who you are. To paraphrase Mama Ru: how can you really know someone else if you don’t know yourself first?

You know, the more Sussex Squad posts stuff about Harry’s life on Twitter, I realize how much stuff he’s actually done that got next to no attention. He’s done A LOT in his life, and I’d bet that that’s what BP/CH/KP (especially KP) are worried about wrt his memoir. They know he’s not going to gossip about the family, but if he tells his stories about all the stuff he’s done, it’s going to look like a) why were they hiding him away/minimizing him? And b) what in the heck has William even been doing with his life??
They’re just going to look bad by comparison.

Spot on. Harry loved his brother and I hope for his sake, still do because anger and unforgiveness will stand in the way of healing.
Having said that, memory will ensure that history does not repeat itself.
William is surprised, impressed and jealous of this person whom happens to be his brother.

All those who expect Harry to forgive that POS bulliam WITHOUT also saying that bulliam should apologize to Harry and Meghan before any talk of forgiveness enters the chat, are no better than the over-privileged, over-indulged, selfish, unself-aware, no-account POS that bulliam is.

@charm In my opinion, forgiveness is possible and probable. Forgiveness is the act of letting go. It in no way is the same as reconciliation, and it’s more for the one doing the forgiveness than the one that needs it. Forgiveness can be the final act of washing your hands of someone, letting none of their darkness touch you anymore.
I believe, just my opinion, that reconciliation shouldn’t happen. Any apology William gives will be grudging and insincere and he won’t learn any lessons, actually will look for opportunities to repeat or worse.
tale BS.
