There have been countless reports over the last several months about a reconciliation between the royal family and the Sussexes. That chatter intensified when the Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton) revealed her cancer diagnosis and that she was undergoing preventive chemotherapy.
However, there have been no signs that Prince Harry and Prince William‘s icy relationship has thawed at all. In fact, many insiders have said that the two aren’t even on speaking terms, and a “possible reconciliation” is just a talking point for the media. And according to an expert, royal watchers shouldn’t hold their breath waiting for the brothers to reconcile because it’s not going to happen, and the Duke of Sussex’s wife is one of the reasons why.

Longtime royal correspondent Charles Rae appeared on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show and explained why he doesn’t think the Waleses will ever forgive the Sussexes for all the “pain” they caused.
“There’s too much water which has gone under that bridge,” Rae said. “After everything Harry and Meghan have done with the Oprah Winfrey interview, that Netflix show … [Harry’s book] Spare. The flamboyant curtsy by Meghan on the show as well. There’s too much gone under the bridge now. If [Meghan and Harry] are going to make the move, I am not so sure William and Catherine would respond favourably.”
The expert continued: “William’s got a lot more on his mind right now than repairing the troubles with his own brother. He’s got his wife to look after and his three children. They are the most important things that are going on. If Harry was that keen on making some sort of move towards William … he didn’t wish him a happy 42nd birthday. Any rift in any family is very, very sad. They’re doing it in the full glare of publicity and that’s obviously ten times worse than you falling out with your brother or sister. But Harry’s caused an awful lot of pain to various members of the royal family, his father, his brother, his sister-in-law.
“I don’t think it’s ever going to happen and I suspect one of the driving forces in not making it happen is Meghan herself. I’m not trying to blame her for everything. I don’t blame her for everything but I don’t think things she is doing help matters.”
