While both Prince William and Prince Harry attended the Service of Thanksgiving for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee with their wives — Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle, respectively — the brothers weren’t seen talking and the couples were seated apart, per Daily Express. A source close to Prince William told the Daily Mail that there’s not an easy reconciliation between the brothers. The source alleges William believes Harry has been “sucked into an alien world” after having separated from the royal family and moving to California, and William is left with nothing “he can do about it.” It would make sense that each brother thinks the other is in a different world. In the Oprah Winfrey interview, Harry referred to William as “trapped” by his life, via Insider.
William also reportedly feels that Harry has “crossed the line” by publicly airing family drama, and that it will take a lot for the two to become close again, according to Daily Mail. There’s likely to be more public airing of Harry’s thoughts about growing up in the royal family and acting as a working royal. Harry has a publishing deal in place with Penguin Random House for a memoir. In the press release for the book, he said the book would go into his life’s “highs and lows” and that he’s “excited for people to read a firsthand account of [his] life that’s accurate and wholly truthful.”
