Us Weekly’s cover story this week is all about Prince William’s jealousy of his younger brother Prince Harry. Harry has Invictus, Harry has freedom, Harry has a mansion in Montecito, Harry has a beautiful wife, Harry has respect as a global statesman, Harry has passions and interests, Harry stands up to the British press, Harry served in war, and Harry has a position with African Parks as well! I could keep going, but you get the idea. Harry is cool, Huevo is a pretender. William seethes with jealousy and rage while Harry just lives his life. Well, Us Weekly released more of their cover story and their sources claim that William and Kate have now changed their minds on never, ever speaking to the Sussexes again. Nowadays, the Waleses are both keen peacemakers.
Prince Harry and Prince William are barely on speaking terms, but Harry’s upcoming U.K. visit could change that. Harry, 39, is set to return to the U.K. in early May to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. While William, 41, resides in England, their possible reunion is still up in the air, a source exclusively reveals in the latest issue of Us Weekly.
The brothers “haven’t had a real conversation in months,” the insider says, noting that Harry’s time in town could serve as an olive branch. “The brothers haven’t spoken [but] there is potential for that. [Harry] would be more than happy [to],” a second source tells Us, revealing that Harry has attempted to contact his family and invite them to the Invictus Games.
The first insider notes that both Harry and William “are open” to seeing each other after years of tension stemming from Harry’s royal step back in 2020.
Now that Princess Kate Middleton is battling cancer (which she confirmed in March), the ice seems to be melting between both royal couples. Kate is “willing” to talk to Harry while he’s in town, the first source tells Us, adding that the princess is “done with all the bad blood.”
Since Kate’s diagnosis, which came after she underwent a successful abdominal surgery in January, both the Prince and Princess of Wales are ready to call a truce.
“They want a relationship with Meghan and Harry, and they don’t want the acrimony to carry over to the next generation,” the insider says, explaining that Kate and William want their three children, Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 6, to have a connection with Harry’s children. The source notes that “they want to mend fences with them for the kids’ sake,” with the second insider agreeing that Harry and Meghan feel the same way.
“Obviously the duke and duchess want their kids to have a relationship with their cousins,” per the source.
King Charles III, who is also battling an undisclosed type of cancer, is ready for his sons to make up and is “eager to spend more time with his grandchildren,” the first insider tells Us. Charles, 75, has “always wanted William and Harry to make amends,” a third source claims. The first insider concurs, adding, “Charles very much hopes that his sons will finally heal their rift.”
From a purely PR perspective, this is how William and Kate should have positioned themselves the while f–king time. They are the future king and queen – they should have positioned themselves as the magnanimous and mature future-monarchs eager to make peace with “wayward” Harry and Meghan. The fact that it’s been over four years and they consistently position themselves as too angry, childish, immature, undiplomatic and racist to make peace is more than a choice, it’s simply the real situation. The Waleses can’t hide or contain their pettiness, rage and jealousy over all things Sussex. Anyway, I hope the Sussexes continue to grey-rock Huevo in particular!
