A royal historian claims both brothers must agree with the monarch to move forward as a family privately and publicly.</p>

<p id=”par-2_28″>After four years of estrangement, Prince Harry remains an outsider in his own family. He and Meghan Markle left their roles as senior royals behind in March 2020.</p>
<p id=”par-3_39″>Subsequently, Harry and Meghan spoke poorly of their experiences as House of Windsor members. Their estrangement from other senior royals heightened further, and Harry became an outlier despite in recent years, publicly yearning for a reconciliation with his family.</p>
<p id=”par-4_37″>But to reconcile with the House of Windsor, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/king-charles-subliminally-sent-very-pointed-message-prince-william-prince-harry-earlier-year-book.html/?swcfpc=1″>King Charles, and Prince William</a> must agree with Prince Harry to move forward. The most recognizable royal family faces must come to terms with the past, but can they?</p>
<p id=”par-5_37″>As reported by <a href=”https://www.thedailybeast.com/why-charles-needs-williams-agreement-for-a-harry-settlement/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>The Daily Beast</a>, royal historian Robert Hardman said, “Whatever the king does needs to be done in tandem with both brothers, not just one. He can’t have unilateral discussions if William isn’t in agreement.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_32″>“Whatever reconciliation or bridge-building happens, it needs to be a three-way process,” Hardman continued. “People keep asking about the king’s feelings, but William also has to be on board, which adds complexity.”</p>
<p id=”par-7_21″>He concluded, “It’s tricky and a situation nobody wants. But whatever the way forward is, it has to work for everybody.”</p>

<p id=”par-8_33″>There is always the potential for a Prince William and Prince Harry reunion says Robert Hardman. However, the brother’s estrangement stems from Harry not respecting one thing William values most of all; privacy.</p>
<p id=”par-9_17″>“All things are possible; never say never,” Hardman explained. “The bond between the brothers historically runs deep.”</p>
<p id=”par-10_35″>Subsequently, while outsiders may not see the full picture of their estrangement, they have both been very private people. Therefore, it appears out of character for Harry to air his family’s dirty laundry [in <em>Spare</em>].</p>
<p id=”par-11_45″>Hardman believes, “This is why William was upset by the book [<em>Spare</em>]. Not because of specific depictions, but because of the breach of trust. Things that happened between the siblings were made public, which is a huge deal for someone who values privacy like William.”</p>

Kate Middleton’s Resilient Faith: How She Found Strength During Darkest Moments of Cancer Crisis </a>
</p>

<p id=”par-12_31″>Throughout 2024, Prince William was put in the unfathomable position of watching his father King Charles, and wife, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/king-charles-ignores-public-pressure-protect-kate-nobody-really-knows-doing.html/?swcfpc=1″>Kate Middleton, battle cancer.</a> The Prince of Wales faced his toughest challenges yet.</p>
<p id=”par-13_43″>William stood in for his ailing father throughout the earlier part of the year, while the monarch was receiving cancer treatment. He also temporarily stepped back from some of his royal duties to care for his ailing wife, who too battled the disease.</p>
<p id=”par-14_39″>Therefore, during this period, there was no room in his life to start what could be a complicated reconciliation process with his younger brother, Prince Harry. Instead, William adhered to the royal adage of “keep calm and carry on.”</p>
<p id=”par-15_37″>Although the future could present a different outcome, today, there are no plans for William and Harry to reconcile, even if King Charles is interested in a relationship with his younger son. The brothers reportedly remain estranged.</p>
