Overview
- On June 4, Prince William joked with Army Air Corps troops in Suffolk that some families “might not want to see you that much,” a comment interpreted as a reference to his estrangement from Prince Harry.
- Prince Harry lost his UK legal bid for public police protection, a ruling he says has deepened divisions and prevented his father, King Charles, from speaking with him.
- In a BBC interview, Harry said “life is precious” and warned time is short for his father, expressing hope to reconcile the family.
- The brothers’ only public reunion since Harry stepped back from royal duties occurred in September 2022 when they joined their wives at Windsor to pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth II.
- William sent a text inviting Harry and Meghan to join him and Kate on the Long Walk in Windsor after the queen’s death, a gesture that has not produced a lasting thaw in their relationship.
