Prince Harry arrived in Birmingham this week without Meghan Markle or their children, as he kicked off preparations for the 2027 Invictus Games, while a royal commentator claimed Prince William now 'despises' his younger brother and that the pair are 'no longer brothers.'
The Duke of Sussex's brief return to the UK had initially been billed as a chance to mix business with something approaching reconciliation. Harry was due to promote the Invictus Games, the sporting competition he founded for wounded and injured service personnel, and there was quiet speculation that time on home soil might also pave the way for warmer ties with his father, King Charles, and perhaps even his estranged brother. Instead, he flew in alone, with security fears cited for Meghan and the children's absence, and fresh claims of deep hostility from William dominating the headlines.
