Royal Expert Says This "Diplomatic Genius" Could Be King’s Secret Weapon in Thawing Harry and William Feud

Prince Harry and Prince William with their backs to each other.

Although King Charles reunited with Prince Harry in September 2025 when the Duke of Sussex was visiting London, it’s understood that Prince William has not spoken to his brother since Queen Elizabeth’s funeral in 2022. Prince Harry, who is celebrating his eighth wedding anniversary on May 19, has publicly stated that he’s open to reconciliation, but at the moment, the brothers remain estranged. However, according to one royal expert, there’s one unlikely person who might be able to get William and Harry in the same room.

Charlotte Griffiths, editor-in-large at the Mail on Sunday, shared that new royal aide Theo Rycroft has “become this great white hope for King Charles.” Rycroft formerly served as Minister and Deputy Head of Mission at the British Embassy in Paris, and the “incredibly talented diplomat” is being looked at as the one person who could intervene in the Harry/William fallout.
