A royal expert has claimed that the relationship between Prince William and his estranged brother Prince Harry is effectively over. According to Radar Online, Andrew Lownie, who recently authored a biography on Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, believes that Harry’s behavior will have significant repercussions for future major events in the monarchy.
Lownie suggested that the California-based prince is unlikely to receive an invitation to William’s upcoming coronation. He also speculated that Harry may be excluded from King Charles’ funeral, where William will preside as the reigning monarch. “Both Andrew and Harry will be banned [from the events]. The relationship between William and Harry is over,” Lownie said.
The expert’s comments highlight the perceived severity of the rift between the royal brothers, which insiders attribute to Harry’s actions and personal choices over recent years. Sources indicate that Harry has been attempting to outshine William, including during the Prince of Wales’ recent five-day trip to Rio de Janeiro, where he promoted environmental causes and presented the Earthshot prizes.
One insider told Radar Online, “Harry is a spoiled brat and wants attention. He is very jealous of William. … He’s not getting good guidance, and he looks miserable all the time.” Another source added that the behavior is a marked change from the person Harry was before marrying Meghan Markle. “He was never this petulant or spoiled before marrying Meghan. He was not bitter. He understood what ground rules were,” the insider said.
The sources suggest that Harry’s public actions and desire for attention have worsened the tension between the brothers. Since his marriage to Meghan, insiders say Harry’s demeanor and approach to royal duties have shifted significantly, straining the familial bond.
Lownie’s assessment underscores the depth of the perceived estrangement, signaling that the relationship between Prince William and Harry may remain fractured for the foreseeable future, with implications for their participation in upcoming royal events and public appearances.
The ongoing divide has drawn considerable attention in the media, reflecting the continued fascination with the dynamics within the British royal family and the impact of personal choices on traditional monarchy protocols.
