Royal author Robert Hardman stated that there is very little chance of Prince William and Prince Harry’s broken relationship getting back together in an interview with the HELLO! A Right Royal Podcast crew.
Robert says that while King Charles is amenable to a reconciliation with his youngest son, one between brothers may prove more challenging because Prince William was left feeling “really hurt” by Prince Harry’s revelations in his memoir Spare. You can listen to the special podcast episode below.

“William is a very private man, who guards his family’s privacy very, very closely,” Robert said to Emily Nash, the royal editor of HELLO!, Andrea Caamano, and Emmy Griffiths, the hosts. “I think that really hurt to have so many tender childhood secrets, stories, and conversations just thrown out into the public domain.”
Additionally, he clarifies the true impact of Harry’s “veiled criticisms of the new Princess of Wales” on the heir apparent.
Robert remarks, “I just think that’s a tougher obstacle,” regarding the path to reconciliation, though the royal author leaves it open-ended.
“But as we’ve seen with the royals, throughout the years, and throughout history, never say never,” he continues. Things shift, people move on, and we all adjust to give in and move past things.
