The ongoing feud between Prince Harry and Prince William has been a topic of discussion ever since the Duke of Sussex and Meghan Markle announced their separation from the royal family back in 2020.
In a recent episode of the A Right Royal podcast, former royal writer and author Valentine Lowe sheds light on the fruitless attempt made by the heir to the throne to set up a meeting with his brother.
During a tour of Pakistan in 2019, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge found themselves at the center of attention in a viral video featured in an ITV documentary titled “Harry and Meghan: An African Journey.”
In this documentary, the couple candidly discussed the challenges they faced within the royal family.
Valentine revealed in the episode of A Right Royal Aid that Prince William expressed concern for his brother Harry after watching teaser trailers of the documentary.
He swiftly tried to reach out to Harry for a heart-to-heart conversation.
However, Harry’s apprehensions about leaks from the palace hindered the meeting from taking place.
According to Valentine, while William and Kate were in Pakistan, preparations were underway to release the trailer for the ITV documentary on Harry and Meghan.
Meghan, visibly distressed, openly shared her feelings about the upcoming release.
Feeling worried about Harry, William suggested paying a visit to Frogmore Cottage upon their return from Pakistan.
A WhatsApp message possibly urged William to give Harry a call.
Although Harry initially agreed to the idea of a visit, he later questioned William about confidentiality, asking who he would inform about the visit.
This prompted William to mention involving his private secretary, to which Harry responded by advising against the visit to avoid potential leaks.
The former Times reporter speculated that Harry might have been looking for a reason to cancel the meeting altogether.
Despite this, it is regrettable that the children missed out on what could have been valuable family experiences.
The encounter never came to fruition, leaving a sense of disappointment lingering in the air.
Reflecting on the situation, it is evident that the strained relationship between the two brothers continues to pose challenges.
The unresolved issues between Prince Harry and Prince William serve as a reminder of the complexities within the royal family dynamics.
As the saga unfolds, it remains to be seen whether reconciliation is on the horizon or if the divide will persist.
