Prince Harry’s Feud With Prince William Is a ‘Different Beast’ Than With His Father, Royal Expert Says

“It really does look like Charles is taking the ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’ axiom to a whole other level, doesn’t it?” Christopher Anderson, author of numerous books about the royal family, told Us in May. “The King is only hewing to a long-standing royal practice of not dignifying something by commenting on it. The Palace does not want to give oxygen to Harry’s remarks. King Charles has a lot on his plate as it is — there is no upside to his getting into a public quarrel with his son.”

As for his relationship with his brother, a source told Us that Prince William is “done” with his younger brother.

“William doesn’t talk about Harry anymore,” the insider exclusively revealed. “Everyone knows it’s a subject that they shouldn’t bring up, so he hasn’t brought up the interview and won’t.”

The source added, “William is done with Harry. When he becomes King, everybody thinks the divide will become even wider.”

Dr. Gail Saltz, a mental health professional, told Us that same month that the rift within the royal family is “a tragedy,” especially because “public perception” has taken “precedence over the private relationship.”

“Harry and William are the only brothers they’ll ever have,” Saltz said. “Charles is the only father Harry will ever have. These are essential human relationships.”

She continued, “There are two different relationship lines here. There’s the public one because they are a working family, a royal family with a historical and tabloid place. And then there’s the private family relationship.”

In an apparent effort to mend his fractured relationships with members of the monarchy, Prince Harry recently shared his schedule with his father — an attempt to ensure none of his high-profile visits overshadow the royal family.

“I think any communication is good,” Meinzer exclusively tells Us. “It shows that things have not completely broken down between father and son, and that Harry, in particular, wants to mend fences.”
