Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been out of the royal fold for some years now, after stepping away from their formal duties in 2020.

Since then a litany of tell-all bombshells have landed at the feet of Prince William and Princess Kate, all fired from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The most notable of which came in Harry’s memoir Spare in which he made a series of accusations, namely about his brother.

Relations between the families have been frosty at best since then, and despite putting on a show of strength following the death of the Queen, the ties between the middle-aged princes appear to have been severed.

However, there is one thing Prince Harry can do to get back into the picture according to King Charles’ former butler, Grant Harrold.

Mr Harrold told the New York Post: “The only way I see this happening is a public statement from Harry, where you come out and say that you were in a bad space and that [Spare] was a mistake. I don’t think that’s going to happen. Some bad things were said, and some families never patch things up, and that’s how it is forevermore.”

Mr Harrold said it would be hard for Harry to reconcile with Prince William and Princess Kate, because “too much damage” has been done.

He said: “Harry caused damage and broke down trust. It’s difficult when you’re a future monarch.I doubt they’ll ever get back the relationship they had originally. That was a very different relationship built on trust.

“It’s going to take time. William is a tough character. He’s a good guy.”
