A royal expert has claimed that there is still a chance Prince Harry could meet with Prince William despite their ongoing feud. The Duke of Sussex and the Prince of Wales have not spoken to each other in years, following Harry’s bombshell exit from the Royal Family six years ago.

Harry made a number of claims about William, particularly in his explosive memoir, Spare, which was released in 2023. Among the claims is one about a physical alteration between the two, before Megix. The Prince of Wales has not commented on the claims.

Now, amid mounting speculation about a potential meeting between the duke and his father, King Charles, a royal expert has weighed in on whether Harry could potentially meet his brother, too.

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams said he doesn’t think every door has closed for Prince Harry regarding any possible reconciliation with William; however, he will have to work hard if he wants his brother to trust him again.

He told the Daily Express regarding a potential meeting between the two feuding brothers: “Never say never”.

But he added: “If this visit had been arranged without publicity, it would have been a sign they might have changed as opposed to the world watching and vast publicity. William won’t want to meet Harry, certainly not on this occasion. He feels betrayed and doesn’t trust him.”

It comes as the Sussexes’ security arrangements have once again come into the spotlight ahead of their return to the UK next week.

It is understood that Harry is trying to find a safe way to bring his wife and children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, to the UK, despite concerns about how they will be protected and confusion about where they will stay.

The duke was waiting for a review by the Risk Management Board (RMB), part of the process by which the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) rules on his security requirements, but found out on Friday that this has yet to take place.

A spokesman for Harry said: “The duke continues to explore every available option to enable the visit to proceed safely and to give his children the opportunity to enjoy the UK.”

“Prince Harry’s programme in the United Kingdom includes both public and private engagements across the country. Safe accommodation is only one element of an effective protective security plan because risk follows the person, not the place.

“The issue has never been accommodation. The issue is whether appropriate and proportionate protective security is being provided throughout the entirety of the visit.

“The independent Risk Management Board that Ravec itself decided was necessary last November has still not taken place.

“It is therefore difficult to understand how the proportionality of the current arrangements can credibly be maintained without that independent assessment.”
