Prince William is still refusing any opportunity to meet with Prince Harry, it has been reported. The 43-year-old, who has reportedly not spoken to his brother for some time, is said to be not interested in reconciling with his younger brother, who now resides in the US.
Prince Harry, who stepped down as a senior working royal in 2020, is reportedly set to meet King Charles in early September as there are reports that he could attend the WellChild Awards on September 8. The event is set to take place on the third anniversary of the late Queen Elizabeth II’s death.
Speaking of the father-son duo, a source said that the “time is right” for the King to meet with his youngest son.
Although they are set to meet, William has declined any chance of a meeting whilst his brother is on UK soil.
Speaking to the Mirror, a source said that a meeting between William and Harry is being “rejected out of hand”.
The source said: “William feels Harry has repeatedly chosen public exposure over private resolution and that the Royal Family can’t keep being dragged into the headlines every time there’s a new contract to promote.”
They added: “The issue with Harry, as well as Meghan, is one of trust. Ever since moving to North America, they have eroded all confidence in their ability to keep things or their criticisms private.
“For there to be any chance of moving forward, that trust has to be rebuilt, and Team Sussex knows the onus is on them.”
Discussing the apparent visit, and the meeting with his father, a source added: “For the first time in a long time, there’s a genuine sense that reconciliation is within reach.
“Prince Harry’s team and the Palace have opened a line of communication, and there is every hope that father and son will see one another when the Duke returns to London in September.”
