The fallout between Prince William and his younger brother Prince Harry continues to escalate, leaving the future King simmering with resentment.
As Prince William celebrates his 41st birthday, Royal experts suggest that the occasion is bittersweet, overshadowed by the deepening fracture in his relationship with Harry.
It was once believed that the bond between the brothers, forged through the loss of their mother Princess Diana, would withstand any challenge.
However, Harry’s explosive memoir, published earlier this year, unveiled a rift that seems irreparable.
In the book, the Duke of Sussex shares intimate details of his struggles within the Royal family, often casting William in an unflattering light.
According to Christopher Anderson, author of The King, William is still simmering with resentment over “Megxit,” not to mention Harry’s unflattering portrait of him in the memoir.
The memoir paints William as Harry’s archenemy, scolding, overbearing, and at times even violent.
This betrayal has further strained their already fragile relationship.
Harry’s resentment stems from a perceived double standard, where he believes William received a free pass for actions that Harry was criticized for.
He is still upset that his elder brother escaped scrutiny due to his position as heir to the throne.
In the memoir, Harry recounts an argument with William in 2019, during which the future king allegedly called Meghan Markle, now the Duchess of Sussex, difficult, rude, and abrasive.
The argument escalated, resulting in William grabbing Harry by the collar, tearing his necklace, and knocking him into a dog bowl.
While William later apologized, the damage had been done.
The breakdown in their relationship predates Harry’s marriage to Meghan.
In the Netflix docuseries “Harry and Meghan,” Harry revealed that William had shouted at him during a meeting regarding his plans to step back as a senior royal.
The confrontation left Harry feeling terrified and hurt, as he witnessed his father, Prince Charles, and grandmother Queen Elizabeth seemingly side with William.
Kate Nicholl, a royal correspondent and author, shed light on William’s concerns about Harry’s whirlwind romance with Meghan.
He expressed worry over the speed at which their relationship progressed.
Nicholl’s comments suggest that William’s intentions were rooted in brotherly concern, but Harry took them as criticism, damaging their relationship further.
As tensions rise, Prince William has found solace in his wife, Kate Middleton.
The couple’s strong partnership has provided support during these tumultuous times.
William’s ability to conceal his disappointment in public, often seen smiling and content, is a testament to his compartmentalization skills.
But beneath the surface, the bond that once connected the brothers on a deeper level remains severed.
The loss of their mother and the shared experience of coping with her sudden death created an unbreakable tie within them.
Witnessing the bond shattered must be deeply scarring for both William and Harry.
Kinsey Schofield, host of the “To Die For Daily” podcast, believes that William will be there for his brother when he falls.
However, reconciliation seems unlikely as long as Harry continues to burn bridges and hurt those closest to William.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s departure from the UK and their explosive memoir have dealt significant blows to the royal family’s inner sanctum of trust.
William’s horror at the revelations in the book and the breach of trust suggest that the road to reconciliation will be long and arduous.
