Prince William and Prince Harry are reportedly feuding. A royal expert believed that the Duke of Cambridge should reconcile with the Duke of Sussex to show that he would be a "great leader" as the future king.
Prince William Advised To Fix Relationship With Brother Prince Harry
Several sources claimed that there is an issue between Prince Charles' two sons. It was evident when they attended the National Service of Thanksgiving during the Platinum Jubilee celebration last month. There was zero interaction between the Cambridges and Sussexes.
Royal expert Duncan Larcombe weighed in on Prince Harry and Prince William's relationship. In his opinion, the future king should fix his relationship with his sibling to show the type of leadership he has to offer.
“If William wants to be a future king, a great leader giving inspiring addresses about the environment to two billion people, then the public are within their rights to expect him to be able to sort out a frankly pretty minor dispute with his brother. He has to start showing some leadership here," Larcombe said, Express reported.
The British journalist and commentator, who also served as royal editor for The Sun, advised the future king to pick up the phone and talk to Prince Harry because he has more to lose. The Duke of Sussex could just play polo with a gorgeous wife.
"The onus is on William. If he really does believe he is the chap chosen by god to be king, then he should be capable of sorting out this row with his brother," he added. "William has got a lot more to lose than Harry. The monarchy could be lost on his watch. That’s Harry’s ace in the hole."
Prince William And Prince Harry's Relationship Has Remained Strained
Journalist Russell Myers, a royal editor at Daily Mirror and co-host of "Pod Save The Queen" podcast, spoke about Prince William and Prince Harry's relationship after the Platinum Jubilee when he appeared on "Today Extra." He confirmed that the royal siblings did not interact when they reunited last month.
"We saw it at the Platinum Jubilee celebrations. They didn't, unfortunately, hang out at all," Myers said. "I was in St. Paul's Cathedral, where I saw Harry sort of straining his neck to try and catch his brother's eye but didn't manage to at all. They didn't spend any time together during those four days."
Myers believes that Prince Harry talking about his family in interviews after moving to California is among the reasons they haven't reconciled yet. When co-host David Campbell said the Duke of Cambridge appeared to be shutting down his younger's effort to reconcile, Myers agreed and said he witnessed it.
"Harry is desperate, I think, for approval from his brother. [He is] caught in this sort of no man's land that he wants to get on with the rest of his life with Meghan in California," Myers claimed. "They've set up this brand new life, everything seems to be going great for them, they've made an awful lot of money through these Netflix and Spotify deals. And yet, he still longs for this sort of belonging from the family."
He believes it will take more time, and the two need a "bit more space between them." He advised Prince Harry to stop doing interviews and start fixing their relationship.
