Sad Prince William detail in Prince Harry's secret UK trip: 'Very annoyed'

Prince Harry and Prince William are reportedly unlikely to reconcile any time soon after the estranged brothers reunited at the memorial service for their uncle, Lord Robert Fellowes. The Duke of Sussex secretly flew to the UK to attend the service following his uncle's death. However, Harry and William, despite only being metres apart at one point, did not speak during the service or the garden reception that followed.

Royal expert Hugo Vickers told The Sun that if there was to be any kind of reconciliation between the brothers, there would be an "enormous amount of groundwork to be done." However, he believes there could be a chance "if both sides are prepared to give a little."

Harry and William's previous reunions

The brothers have previously been seen speaking when reunited at events such as Prince Philip's funeral in 2021 and after Queen Elizabeth II died in 2022 when they, along with their wives, lay tributes to their grandmother.

However, at King Charles' coronation last year, just months after Harry's book, Spare, was released, the brothers were not seen speaking.

"They have been in the same room, if I can put it like that, on several occasions," Vickers said. "But this doesn't necessarily mean that there's going to be a reconciliation.

"I think that, from what I understand, Prince William is very annoyed, and tends to be rather unforgiving, so I think there's an enormous amount of groundwork to be done."

Royal expert doesn't see reunion happening in the near future

Speaking about a possible reconciliation, Vickers added, "Let's hope that one day this will happen. But I don't honestly see it happening in the near future."

Referencing Harry's book and his Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan, Vickers said, "He has thrown a great number of spears and javelins in the direction of the Royal family, particularly at Prince William, and indeed at Catherine as well, and, of course, to the King.

"So Prince William, I think, has every reason to be very irritated by his brother."

The royal expert says that while the brothers may have been able to patch things up before Spare and Harry & Meghan were released, it's going to be less likely now, especially given William is "very protective of his wife".

Vickers also believes both Princess Diana and King Charles would want the brothers to reunite, but once again, it is up to them.
