Tensions between Prince William and Prince Harry appear to be reaching a boiling point, with insiders suggesting that William is unlikely to extend an invitation to his brother for his upcoming coronation.
The only anticipated moment for a potential reunion seems to be at their father, King Charles‘ funeral.
Sources close to William revealed to the Daily Beast that the relationship between the two brothers is currently in a state of complete freeze.
One friend emphasized the depth of William’s feelings, stating, “It’s hard to overstate how utterly William feels betrayed and hurt on a very personal level.” This stark contrast from their childhood, when they were inseparable and could finish each other’s sentences, highlights the tragic shift in their bond.
The brothers faced immense challenges together, particularly the loss of their mother, Princess Diana, and their father’s emotional distance.
Observers noted that it was remarkable to witness their connection during those trying times.
However, this history makes Harry’s perceived betrayal even more poignant.
An insider remarked on Harry’s past sincerity about the importance of their relationship, which now feels overshadowed by his actions.
In light of recent claims, another source expressed confidence that Harry would not receive an invitation to the coronation, questioning why William and Kate would want to invite the chaos that Harry’s presence might bring.
The sentiment among William’s circle is that the next time they might see each other will likely be at their father’s funeral, a somber occasion that underscores the gravity of their estrangement.
Further complicating matters, a former Buckingham Palace employee confirmed that, to their knowledge, there are no plans for Harry to be invited.
Given the toxic atmosphere that has developed between the brothers, this revelation comes as little surprise.
It appears that the rift has deepened beyond repair.
Adding fuel to the fire, William has been reportedly upset with both Harry and Meghan Markle for their choice to refer to Catherine, the Princess of Wales, simply as “Kate.”
Friends revealed that Catherine has expressed a preference for being called by her full name, which adds another layer of tension to the situation.
The public comments made by Harry and Meghan regarding Catherine have also been a source of irritation for William.
