A Royal Insider Just Gave a Surprising Update on Prince Harry and Prince William’s Feud

Prince William and Prince Harry at Kensington Palace in 2021.
  • Despite reports of royal peace talks, experts claim that surprisingly, Prince William and Prince Harry's relationship remains unchanged.
  • "Nothing has changed," Omid Scobie reported in 2026, alleging that Prince Harry had made "repeated attempts" to reach out, but William had been "avoiding dealing with this matter whatsoever.”
  • "The ball has been in William’s court for some time now," Scobie added. "And he’s chosen not just to knock it back, but to kick it in the other direction.”

Prince William and Prince Harry’s relationship continues to make headlines, with tensions well-documented since the Sussexes' step down from royal life and relocation to California.

There have been multiple reports of peace talks over 2025 and 2026, with olive branches extended from both sides.

According to the royal author, Prince William has been "avoiding dealing with this matter whatsoever," reporting: "the ball has been in William’s court for some time now, and he’s chosen not just to knock it back, but to kick it in the other direction."We will continue to update this story.
