Prince William is growing increasingly frustrated, royal commentators have told US media, as King Charles continues to leave the door open to Prince Harry despite years of public family tensions. While hopes of reconciliation have resurfaced following the King's reported offer to host the Duke of Sussex during future UK visits, one royal expert believes the move has only deepened the rift behind palace walls.
Royal biographer Christopher Andersen argues that William sees Charles's conciliatory approach as coming at the expense of support for him and the loyalty he believes he has shown the Crown. Andersen, who has written extensively about the King, suggests the Prince of Wales has drawn a firm line with his brother following years of public criticism.
