Prince Harry’s ‘nerve-wracking’ trip to the UK shows little ‘reconciliation’ with William

EXCLUSIVE: Harry took a transatlantic flight to the UK last week and conducted himself in a discreet manner, says one royal expert.

Prince Harry was in the UK last week, and it must have been nerve-wracking for the Duke to not know how he would be received, says one royal expert, predicting Harry and William will cross paths again but will avoid each other.

Harry made the transatlantic flight for his uncle’s funeral, which landed him and his brother in the same room for the first time in over a year, but they didn’t actually exchange words, it is claimed.

Pauline Maclaran, author of Royal Fever and Professor of Marketing and Consumer Research at Royal Holloway, University of London, spoke to Daily Express US about the turn of events.

Prof Maclaran said: “I’m sure it was rather nerve-wracking for Harry as he must have been wondering how he would be received by his relatives as well as worrying about his security and potential publicity around his visit.

“There are bound to be future events where they cross paths but there don’t seem to have been any signs at all of any reconciliation.”

Being brothers, William and Harry will see each other at future family events, like weddings and funerals.

Prof Maclaran talks about one way they can handle the overlap, saying: “They are likely to get used to avoiding each other at such occasions I imagine.”

According to Prof Maclaran, the brothers will “learn to adapt their behaviors to each other accordingly,” but it’s not just them, there are other people in the room that can probably feel the tension in the air.

Prof Maclaran advises Harry to keep doing what he’s doing, arriving to the UK in an “understated way.”

She gives him a lot of credit for being “discreet” and hopes to see more of that.
