The plan is part of William’s effort to refocus the monarchy on his direct heirs following two years of estrangement with Harry.

Overview

  • Prince William’s transition team is drafting a streamlined monarchy blueprint that omits Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet from official duties upon his accession.
  • Prince Harry has reportedly invited King Charles and Prince William to the 2027 Invictus Games as an olive branch in his reconciliation efforts.
  • Harry is pressing to preserve his children’s HRH titles so they retain the option to assume working royal roles in adulthood.
  • The brothers have not communicated since Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in September 2022, with William’s sentiment toward his younger brother described by insiders as indifferent.
  • Observers view William’s approach as centralizing the royal household around his immediate heirs while positioning himself for global engagements and enhanced philanthropic work.
