Prince Harry & Meghan Markle Are Accused of Crushing the Royal Family’s Ties to the Commonwealth
As Prince Harry prepares to return to the U.K. in early May for the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, the state of his relationship with his brother, Prince William, remains strained.
According to a source who spoke to Us Weekly, the brothers “haven’t had a real conversation in months,” but Harry’s upcoming visit could potentially serve as an olive branch. Despite the tension stemming from Harry’s royal step back in 2020 and his subsequent accusations against The Firm, both Harry and William are reportedly “open” to seeing each other. A second source reveals that Harry has even attempted to contact his family and invite them to the Invictus Games, stating, “[Harry] would be more than happy [to].”
The rift between the brothers has been further exacerbated by Harry’s memoir, “Spare,” in which he claimed to have gotten into a physical fight with William over Meghan Markle. However, with Princess Kate Middleton battling cancer and King Charles III also facing health issues, there seems to be a thawing of the ice between the royal couples.
According to the first source, Kate is “willing” to talk to Harry during his visit and is “done with all the bad blood.” The Prince and Princess of Wales are reportedly ready to call a truce, with the insider explaining, “They want a relationship with Meghan and Harry, and they don’t want the acrimony to carry over to the next generation.”
