Prince William and Prince Harry have been at odds for years, but their relationship reached a new low after Harry's memoir Spare was published in January 2024. In the book, Harry made several shocking allegations against his brother, such as accusing him of physically assaulting him and being jealous of his marriage to Meghan Markle. Now, an anonymous 'friend' of William has claimed that the Prince of Wales would 'happily never speak' to Harry again, and that he is still 'seething' over the book.

According to Dailystar, The 'friend', who spoke to The Daily Beast, said that William was baffled by Harry's 'malicious intent' and that he felt 'betrayed, angry and sad' by his brother's actions. The 'friend' also said that William had no interest in reconciling with Harry, even if he attends King Charles and Queen Camilla's coronation in May, which is expected to be a tense occasion for the royal family.
However, the 'friend' added that William's wife, Princess Kate, was more open to 'building bridges' with Harry and Meghan, and that she would reciprocate if they reached out to her. Kate, who underwent a successful surgery for a benign brain tumour in January, is said to be a 'peacemaker at heart' and to have had enough of the 'feud narrative'.

Harry and Meghan, who live in California with their two children, Archie and Lilibet, have not confirmed whether they will attend the coronation or not. They are reportedly on the guest list, but they may face a frosty reception from some members of the royal family, especially William. Harry and Meghan have not seen William and Kate in person since March 2020, when they attended the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey before stepping back as senior royals.
Harry and Meghan have also been involved in several controversies since leaving the UK, such as their explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021, where they accused the royal family of racism and neglect. They have also signed lucrative deals with Netflix and Spotify, and have launched their own foundation, Archewell, which supports various causes and initiatives. Harry has also spoken candidly about his mental health struggles and his trauma from losing his mother, Princess Diana, in 1997.

The rift between the brothers has been widely reported and analysed by the media and the public, who have speculated on the causes and the consequences of their fallout. Some have blamed Meghan for driving a wedge between them, while others have pointed to the pressure and the expectations of being royals. Some have hoped for a reconciliation, while others have accepted that the brothers have grown apart and have different paths in life.
