Prince William has been warned that he shoud bring Prince Harry “in from the cold” or he will face a major risk. Daily Mail columnist Andrew Norman Wilson has warned that if William doesn’t make peace then Meghan Markle, 43, and Harry, 40, could “seethe and seek revenge”.
Mr Wilson added that he could see further tensions lasting when William eventually becomes King. He wrote: “When Charles vacates the stage, as one day he must, and William is anointed, a middle-aged brother in exile, on non-speakers with the sovereign but with a potential audience of billions, could do incalculable damage.
“It would be miles better [than Harry writing another book, for instance], then, that the Sussexes be brought in from the cold. Both sides should be seeking, not only diplomatic and political help, but personal counsel.”
He continued: “This was a pair of brothers who, from earliest childhood, were facing the broken marriage of their parents; their mother’s untimely death; unfounded and scurrilous speculation about Harry’s paternity; and generally a gnawing inferiority complex on Harry’s part – some of it understandable. Who wouldn’t feel inferior, after all, to the heir to throne?”
Following Meghan and Harry’s royal exit in 2020, which saw them move to the US with their son Archie, the Duke of Sussex released a tell-all memoir Spare in January 2023.
In one section of the book, Harry detailed a physical altercation that took place at his London home between himself and William.
Harry claimed that his brother referred to Meghan as “rude”, “difficult” and “abrasive”, a criticism Harry described as “parrot[ing of] the press narrative”.
Harry alleged that the argument became more heated before William “grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and … knocked me to the floor”.
