It’s a tale of two brothers.
Royal expert Sarah Hewson claimed Monday that Prince William has “no plans” to see younger brother Prince Harry — apart from after they each attend the subsequent family funeral.
“We’ve only seen Harry return for large family occasions — he got here with Meghan for the Platinum Jubilee celebrations, he got here back for Prince Philip’s funeral, then for his grandmother’s funeral. After which in fact for his father’s coronation, which albeit was a really fleeting visit,” Hewson told Fabulous, via the Sun.
“But we don’t have any of those big family or state occasions on the horizon,” she continued. “I can’t consider any upcoming royal marriages, christenings, within the diary which might bring Harry back.”
Hewson relayed to the outlet that neither Harry, 39, nor his wife Meghan Markle, 42, can be attending the royal family’s get-together at Sandringham over Christmas, citing that any appearance by the duo can be “very awkward.”
“It’s very difficult to see some other occasion, apart from perhaps a family funeral, where the brothers can be in the identical place together,” said Hewson.
The Post reached out to Harry and Kensington Palace for comment.
In keeping with Hewson, the everlasting estrangement comes after Omid Scobie, creator of the anticipated book “Endgame: Contained in the Royal Family and the Monarchy’s Fight for Survival,” claimed that William, 41, attempted to undermine Harry and Meghan.
Within the book, set to hit shelves Tuesday, Scobie, 42, says that William “prioritized his loyalty to the monarchy” and leaked false stories about his brother and sister-in-law to the press.
Friends of the Prince and Princess of Wales slammed the “outrageous suggestions.”
Despite his still very frosty relationship with William, Harry has begun to seemingly thaw his relationship along with his father, King Charles III, after sharing a “polite and warm” phone call on the monarch’s seventy fifth birthday.
Hewson, and other royal commentators, still consider that full reconciliation with the Windsors is way off.
“The issue with this example is that personal conversations are usually becoming public,” she said. “Even the birthday phone call, we had the main points that it was a warm conversation, that Meghan also spoke to her father-in-law, and that Archie and Lily recorded a special rendition of ‘Comfortable Birthday’ for his or her grandfather,” she said.
“The undeniable fact that those private conversations do find yourself in the general public domain is an issue, because if you happen to are going to begin rebuilding a relationship, the trust must be there. We once had hope for William and Harry when, after the death of Prince Philip, Kate tried to instigate a conversation between them,” Hewson added.
Scobie also claimed that King Charles once mocked his son after he and Markle released their Netflix series, “Harry and Meghan.”
“[The Netflix series] took the wind out of everyone’s sails,” an unidentified royal aide told Scobie. “[Charles] went from not wanting anyone to discuss his son to openly criticizing ‘that idiot.’
“On the palace, heads were in hands and migraines were brewing,” added Scobie.
Scobie’s book also claimed William and Kate Middleton found the portrayal of Harry and Meghan within the raunchy TV show “South Park” to be “hilarious.”
Moreover, the book paints Charles as a “pampered” figurehead who reportedly requires 1,000-thread-count bedsheets when he travels, in addition to someone to tie his shoes for him.
While not nearly as damning as other allegations, Scobie writes that each Kate and Meghan were encouraged by palace staffers to dress just like the late Princess Diana.
“While finding a trend untouched by Diana’s iconic style is nearly inconceivable, the large amount of effort that goes into channeling her exact look sometimes goes beyond the pale,” Scobie wrote.
“In the course of the past 13 years, Diana cosplay has develop into a royal staple,” he added.
The creator — who has been called “Meghan’s mouthpiece” by several pro-monarchy supporters — said that the selection to decorate the “Suits” alum and the Princess of Wales was “at all times discussed with [William or Harry].”
“At the proper moment this could be a sweet gesture,” an unidentified royal insider told Scobie of the directive to breed Diana’s fashion. “But there may be also a rather queasy feeling once you understand it’s often orchestrated inside the same system that contributed to her living misery, and an establishment that also wants a few of Diana’s shine to rub off on them.”
