Royal brothers Prince Harry and Prince William’s relationship is a far cry from being mended, with a royal expert claiming they ‘can’t see a way out’ as the royal rift has continues
The royal rift between Prince Harry and Prince William has reached new levels due to both the Prince’s stubbornness, claims a royal expert.
The royal brothers are thought to be stuck with both of them struggling to ‘see a way out of the poisoned atmosphere’, according to one expert who believes Harry will need to apologise if the royal family is ever to resolve the fallout. Tensions between the siblings have peaked in recent years, following controversial comments and admissions in interviews and Harry’s 2023 autobiography ‘Spare’.
Royal expert and author Tom Quinn exclusively told us at the Mirror: “The fallout between William and Harry has gone on far too long, but both men are notoriously stubborn. William feels that the Royal family has been badly damaged by his brother and Harry feels that William has always treated him as an irrelevance.”

The two royal brothers are struggling to ‘see a way out of the poisoned atmosphere’
He continued: “The only way back for Harry is a proper apology and a promise to stop pretending to be the working Royal he refused to be when he left the UK. Both Meghan and Harry, and William and Charles, hate the fact that they are stuck in this poisoned dysfunctional atmosphere, but with the family breakdown having been played out in public for so long, they cannot see a way out of it. Harry wants an apology and to be allowed to do what he wants and William and King Charles want Harry to stay quiet and go away.”
The comments come as Prince William has recently teamed up with his father King Charles in a show of royal solidarity. last week the monarch handed over a significant royal baton to his eldest son, as Prince William takes over as Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps from his father -a position King Charles held for more than 30 years.

Despite the tradition that sees the Prince of Wales inherit the Colonel-in-Chief role, Harry’s personal history with the corps, where he learned to pilot Apache helicopters and was awarded his provisional wings by his father before his Afghanistan tour, makes this transition poignant and potentially a difficult one for Harry to watch from afar.
The display of unity between Charles and William came just over a week after Harry, 39, arrived in the UK for his Invictus Games anniversary ceremony. While he attended the service at St Paul’s Cathedral, his father was meeting members of the public at a Buckingham Palace garden party. The Duke’s spokesman said Charles’ “full programme” of engagement prevented them meeting face to face, meaning they have not physically spoken to each other since Harry visited his father following his cancer diagnosis earlier this year.
