Prince William’s decision to remain silent in the face of Prince Harry’s claims has been deemed a considerable mistake by royal expert Alexander Larman.
In an interview, Larman suggested that the Duke of Cambridge should have responded to the allegations and extended an olive branch to his younger brother to prevent further attacks.
Larman stated, “I’m on record as saying they should have responded.
I think William should have given an interview in which he extended the Hand of Brotherhood, where he should have said, ‘we are all very concerned about him.
We understand he had the most awful, traumatic shock when our mother died so young.
We know life has been hard for him.'”
The royal family has always adhered to the motto of “never complain, never explain,” which has served them well.
However, with Prince Harry deviating from this approach, Larman questions the long-term consequences of not enforcing the same rules for all members of the royal family.
Drawing a historical parallel, Larman highlighted the case of Edward VII, who faced similar attacks when he abdicated to marry Wallis Simpson.
In dealing with such situations, Larman suggested that direct response might be the only viable strategy for the royal family.
He noted, “It was the same thing with the Duke of Windsor.
He wasn’t playing by any of the established rules because they’d all been torn up for him.
And so there wasn’t an awful lot the family could do in order to rein him in.”
To avoid Prince Harry becoming a loose cannon like the Duke of Windsor, Larman proposed that reconciliation could be the solution.
The king and Prince William may need to extend an olive branch to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, as they have reportedly been invited to the upcoming coronation in May.
However, it remains uncertain whether they will accept the invitation.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry continues his battle against the mail and recently made further allegations against the royal institution.
He claimed that he had been conditioned not to question alleged hacking incidents involving him.
These ongoing accusations have only solidified Prince Charles’s belief that his brother is determined to embarrass the family.
According to sources close to the royal family, Prince William has grown weary of Prince Harry’s actions.
They stated, “William is over it at this stage.
If this was about his vendetta with the mail, that would be one thing, but Harry keeps doing everything in his power to try to embarrass the family.
How can you have a relationship with someone who’s doing that?”
In conclusion, the decision by Prince William to remain silent in response to Prince Harry’s claims has been criticized by royal expert Alexander Larman.
Larman believes that a direct response and an offer of reconciliation could have been a more effective approach.
The ongoing feud between the brothers continues to create tension within the royal family, leaving the future of their relationship uncertain.
