\n

One of these is expected to be the declining support towards the monarchy<\/a>, something that is especially prevalent in younger generations. While William, 43, is one of the most popular members of the Royal Family, and therefore is set to make a very successful King, one historian believes that the estrangement between William and his brother Prince Harry<\/a> could cause problems. This is because the monarchy is supposed to represent stability, and the rift between William and Harry could actually act as a disadvantage for William when he wears the Crown.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Writing in The i Paper<\/a>, historian and writer Tessa Dunlop said: \u201cAt its best the Royal Family is the nation\u2019s symbolic repository in an increasingly divided world. The late Queen Elizabeth II has always been the obvious model for William\u2019s future reign: a unifying figure, a point of stability across the generations, and crucially a monarch who comes to the throne without the baggage of his father.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cYet any hopes of that will be dashed if he cannot bring himself to offer Harry a rapprochement. Forgiveness, after all, is an essential prerequisite for a future defender of the faith.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Talking about the decline of support towards the monarchy, Tessa wrote: \u201cTo have any chance of halting the Royal Family\u2019s decline, \u201cWilly\u201d needs to set aside his differences and offer \u201cHarold\u201d an olive branch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cSiblings can be hugely triggering, and the peace offering would no doubt cause William great pain. But the gains would be enormous.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

She continued: \u201cTo welcome the Duke of Sussex back into the fold would set William apart as the redemptive Prince, a man well equipped to broaden monarchy\u2019s appeal for the next generation. What a pity the prospect is just a pipe dream.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

While William and Harry, 41, were believed to have been close growing up, their relationship began to show strains after Harry quit royal life in 2020.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This then worsened as a result of Harry\u2019s various accusations about royal life in the 2021 Oprah Winfrey interview, followed by the 2022 Netflix<\/a> docuseries Harry and Meghan, and Harry\u2019s memoir Spare in 2023.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
