He then joked: “Some of them might not want to see you that much. It’s a mixed bag sometimes.”<\/p>\n

William’s comment, delivered in June, surfaced just weeks after Harry expressed in a BBC interview that he would “love reconciliation” with his family, reports the Mirror.<\/a><\/p>\n

“Life is precious,” the Duke of Sussex had declared. “I don’t know how much longer my father has. He won’t speak to me because of this security stuff. But it would be nice to reconcile.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In his explosive memoir Spare, Harry chronicled his fractured bond with William, claiming his brother physically attacked him, alongside other bombshell disclosures.<\/p>\n

Throughout the book, Harry paradoxically described his sibling as both his “beloved brother” and his “archnemesis”.<\/p>\n

Despite a temporary rapprochement with King Charles, Harry reportedly hasn’t encountered William since their uncle Lord Robert Fellowes’ funeral in August 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

William allegedly has zero desire to reconnect with his brother – though he did briefly reference Harry during his recent guest spot on The Reluctant Traveller with Eugene Levy.<\/p>\n

While showing the star of Schitt’s Creek around Windsor Castle, Prince William shared his vision for the monarchy, stating, “I want to question things more”, but emphasized that his family life with Kate Middleton and their three children is at the heart of his world. The future king also openly discussed how his wife’s battle with cancer left him feeling overwhelmed, disclosed that his children do not own cell phones, and expressed his ambition to build a “world in which my son is proud of what we do”.<\/p>\n

Throughout the episode, his estranged brother was only mentioned once when William voiced his desire to avoid repeating history when he becomes king.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He stated: “I hope we don’t go back to some of the practices in the past that Harry and I had to grow up in. And I’ll do everything I can to make sure we don’t regress in that situation.”<\/p>\n

William’s solitary reference to his brother is one of the few times he has publicly spoken about him since Harry and Meghan stepped down as working royals and relocated to California<\/a> over five years ago.<\/p>\n

Former BBC Royal correspondent Jennie Bond told the Mirror: “The mention of Harry is indeed fleeting and I think it would be wrong to spend much time talking about it. But I suppose it does show that William hasn’t blocked his brother completely from his brain.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
