Prince Harry extends an olive branch to King Charles, but William shows no intent to reconcile: "There is no turning back for them"
Recent reports suggest that Prince Harry, gritting his teeth, decided to make a call to King Charles on his birthday. Coincidentally, a book on the royals also came out on the same day, revealing more about the relationship of Meghan Markle's husband with Prince William — a striking irony?
The royal family has persisted silent regarding the knotty relationships linking them to the Sussexes. However, it was evident during the coronation of King Charles III that their bond was strained. This became particularly apparent as only Prince Harry attended the ceremony while Meghan Markle remained in the United States.

Prince Harry strives for King Charles's approval
Reports from international media suggested that the red-haired prince is keen on mending bridges with his father. On November 14, Charles's 75th birthday, Harry had his first conversation with his father in six months to extend his well wishes. Based on a Daily Mail report, even Meghan, who had her own disagreements with Charles, shared some kind words for her father-in-law. Archie and Lilibeth also recorded a special birthday video for their grandfather.

Will Harry and William never reconcile?
Even if the controversial prince manages to regain Charles's favor, mending his broken relationship with his estranged brother is unlikely. At least that's the view of Omid Scobie, a royal expert. His newly released book about the royal family, "End Game", reveals more insights into the strained ties between Harry and William. He suggests that the attitude of the heir to the British throne towards his younger brother leaves room for improvement.
Prince Harry's interview and his documents are not all he has done. The younger brother to Prince William released an autobiography, "The Other One," where he discusses the painful rift between him and the royal family. This was the first time the extent of the Harry-William split came to light. Nearly a year after the book's publication, "absolutely nothing has changed" - recounts Omid Scobie.
The author of "End Game" suggests that the brothers' negative feelings towards each other have morphed into indifference. According to him, William finds it challenging to comprehend Harry's obsession with sharing intimate details about their family's private life. The expert further emphasized how irreconcilable the differences between the royals are.
I see Harry's release of "The Other One" as his final attempt to communicate feelings he had harbored for years. He clearly never had an open platform within the family to express these feelings. - we learn.
Scobie strongly believes that William's loyalty lies with the British monarchy. When Harry began his offensive against the royal family, William quietly worked with the British press to further tarnish his brother's image.
Early on, I spoke with a source who referred to Harry as a "runaway" and indicated that this was also William's view. The two men once shared similar perspectives, but Scobie claims one had to leave to protect the crown.
The expert emphasizes that even if the monarchy survives, the question remains whether it was worth severing fraternal ties for its survival.
It is indeed a sad conclusion. Some family members see Harry as a threat to the crown. His propensity to voice his thoughts freely and beyond the confines of the Palace has labeled him as an enemy - Scobie added, further emphasizing that "there is no turning back for them."
