Prince Harry ‘shocked’ over William’s major decision – ‘wretchedly unpleasant

Prince Harry has reportedly been left “shocked” and frustrated by the way his older brother, Prince William, has reacted to his return to the UK.

The Duke of Sussex has made it clear on several occasions that he would like to repair his relationship with William and bring an end to the long-running family tension. However, according to a source quoted in a new report, Harry is disappointed that his return to Britain has not led to the reconciliation he may have hoped for.

Harry returned to the UK in August with his wife, Meghan Markle, and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. The family had spent several years living in the United States after Harry and Meghan stepped away from their senior royal duties in 2020.

Harry previously explained that the move back to Britain was connected to the opportunities available to the family. However, there has also been speculation that being closer to his royal relatives was an important part of the decision.

After spending around six years in the US, returning to Britain could have given Harry a chance to spend more time with members of his family. But according to the latest claims, the move has not automatically brought him and William closer.

The relationship between the two brothers has been difficult for several years. Their problems became more public after Harry and Meghan left their royal roles and later spoke openly about their experiences within the Royal Family.

Harry has also spoken about his relationship with William in interviews and in his memoir, Spare, which was released in 2023. The book included personal details about the brothers and their disagreements and was widely seen as making their already difficult relationship even more complicated.

According to the source quoted by RadarOnline, William has chosen to keep his distance from Harry and Meghan since their return to Britain. The source claimed that the Prince of Wales has not publicly acknowledged Harry’s return and has instead continued with his own life.

The source said William was acting as though Harry and Meghan did not exist and described this as his way of dealing with what he considers to be an extremely unpleasant situation.

The claims have reportedly left Harry angry and disappointed. The source said Harry has repeatedly expressed a desire to make peace with his older brother and believes he has tried different ways to show that he wants the relationship to improve.

The source also claimed that Harry feels he has apologised and made efforts to find a way forward, but has been surprised that William has not responded in the way he hoped.

Harry is reportedly particularly upset by what he sees as a complete lack of forgiveness from William. The source claimed that the Duke believes he has done what he can to reach out, but has not received much in return.

The situation is made more difficult by the fact that the brothers are no longer simply dealing with a private family disagreement. Their relationship has been the subject of intense public interest for years, with every meeting, statement and family event closely watched.

William has reportedly kept his distance from Harry for a long time. The release of Spare is believed to have made the situation even worse, particularly because Harry discussed private family matters and his relationship with William.

Even though the brothers have reportedly been in the same room since the memoir was released, they are not believed to have had a meaningful conversation. Their continued lack of communication has raised questions about whether they can eventually rebuild their relationship.

Harry’s return to Britain therefore appears to have created a difficult situation. While he may now be physically closer to his family, the emotional distance between him and William remains.

At the same time, King Charles has reportedly tried to maintain a relationship with both of his sons. The King hosted Harry, Meghan and their children at Highgrove for a family meeting in July, shortly before Harry’s return to Britain.

The meeting was seen as a possible sign that Charles was willing to keep the door open to his youngest son despite the problems within the family.

However, the report claims that Charles has not seen Harry, Meghan or his grandchildren since they moved back to Britain. This has reportedly been linked to the King’s busy schedule and official responsibilities.

For Harry, the situation with William appears to remain the biggest challenge. Despite years of disagreements and public tension, he is still believed to want a better relationship with his brother.

The latest claims suggest that Harry had hoped returning to Britain might create a new opportunity for the family to come together. Instead, he is reportedly frustrated that William has continued to keep his distance.

Whether the two brothers can eventually put their differences behind them remains unclear. For now, there appears to be little sign of a major breakthrough, despite Harry’s reported desire to end the family feud and rebuild his relationship with William.
