Amidst the ongoing rift within the British royal family, Prince Harry’s relationship with his family members has reportedly reached a boiling point, according to a royal expert. The Duke of Sussex is currently en route to Singapore to attend a fundraiser polo match, while his brother, Prince William, will be heading there at a later date.
Royal expert and True Royalty TV co-founder Nick Bullen expressed doubts about the possibility of a heartfelt reunion between the two brothers anytime soon. “I’m sure everybody managed those diaries to make sure there was no crossover whatsoever,” Bullen told Fox News. He further added, “Harry hasn’t even been going to old friends’ weddings. So, those moments where they might bump into each other aren’t happening, let alone the choreographed moments.”
Prince Harry has been in Asia this week and recently attended the ISPS Sports Value Summit-Special Edition in Tokyo, Japan. He is now heading to the 2023 Sentebale ISPS Handa Polo Cup in Singapore, accompanied by his longtime friend and polo champion Ignacio “Nacho” Figueras. The event aims to raise funds for Sentebale, a charity founded by Prince Harry, supporting children and young people affected by HIV.
Meanwhile, Prince William is scheduled to visit Singapore in November for the 2023 Earthshot Prize Awards ceremony. Despite these future engagements, Bullen believes that the strained relationship between the brothers cannot be resolved easily. He suggested that a “brokerage” from another person might be necessary, stating, “There almost needs to be an intervention. It requires both parties to be willing to come to the table.”
Bullen emphasized the difficulty of finding common ground between Prince William and Prince Harry, considering the deeply entrenched views they hold. He even mentioned that during the coronation, the seating plan was carefully arranged to avoid any interaction between the two. Bullen believes that significant apologies from both sides would be necessary for reconciliation, but the likelihood of that happening is slim.
In recent news, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle were reportedly snubbed of an invite to the Royal Family’s gathering to mark one year since the death of Queen Elizabeth II. It has also been noted that King Charles, their father, recently evicted them from their royal residence at Frogmore Cottage, adding to the tension between the family members. However, despite these circumstances, Bullen stated that Charles will not be stripping Harry and Meghan of their “Duke and Duchess of Sussex” royal titles.
The strained relationship between Prince Harry and his family worsened after the couple’s relocation to the United States. Prior to this move, Harry maintained a close bond with both his brother William and father Charles. As tensions continue, it remains to be seen whether the fractured relationship between the brothers can be repaired.
