Prince William is refusing to speak to Prince Harry and will not accept his brother's current way of life, a former royal aide has claimed in remarks published this week in the United States, underlining what one insider described as a 'non-negotiable' royal standoff six years after Harry left the Royal Family.
Prince Harry stepped down as a senior working royal in 2020 and moved to the United States with Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. Since then, relations with the wider family have deteriorated sharply. Harry's memoir Spare, published in 2023, and a series of public interviews included pointed criticisms of his relatives, especially William. Harry has himself said that members of his family will not speak to him because of what he wrote.
