Prince William remains resolute in his decision not to welcome Prince Harry back into the royal fold, citing that nothing has altered in their strained relationship.
Sources disclosed to the Sunday Express that Prince William is currently dealing with numerous responsibilities and is disinclined to entertain the idea of reconciling with his brother.
The Duke of Sussex, on the other hand, had reportedly engaged in heartfelt conversations with his father following his cancer diagnosis, expressing his willingness to assume royal duties during his father’s illness.
This potential reintegration into royal responsibilities could potentially pave the way for a truce between Harry and William, setting aside their differences.
However, sources closely associated with the Prince of Wales vehemently dismissed this notion.
According to a royal insider, the prospect of the Prince of Wales endorsing Harry’s return to royal duties is deemed implausible.
While Harry may harbor intentions of resuming a royal role, his brother, Prince William, remains steadfast in his stance due to the current circumstances.

Observers of the royal family speculate that Prince Harry’s potential reentry into royal duties will not be a straightforward process of assigning him engagements.
Both Prince William and Princess Kate harbor deep-seated mistrust towards Harry, fearing a recurrence of the tumultuous events that unfolded during his departure, characterized by difficult conversations and specific demands.
The proposition for a revised role mirrors Harry’s previous attempts in 2020 before departing with Meghan for a new life in California, which was promptly dismissed by the late Queen.
The ongoing disparaging remarks made by Harry towards the royal family, including Queen Camilla, in various media platforms continue to cast a shadow over any potential reconciliation efforts.
Moreover, Prince Harry finds himself entangled in a protracted legal battle in the Supreme Court, further complicating his potential return to royal duties.
