Prince William<\/a>‘s fractured relationship with Prince Harry<\/a> has been widely documented since the Duke of Sussex stepped away from royal duties and relocated to the US in 2020. Prince Harry shared his reasons for leaving the UK, and the monarchy, in various interviews<\/a> and throughout his memoir, Spare<\/em><\/a> – but his decision to make family matters public was the final straw for William<\/a>, according to insiders. They have claimed that, despite King Charles’ willingness to build bridges with Harry<\/a>, the future King is less reluctant to do so.<\/p>\n

Although some aides have urged the heir to reconcile with Harry,<\/a> some insiders have claimed that William would only consider peace talks if the Duke of Sussex came forward with an apology. Now, in a new interview, former royal butler Paul Burrell claimed that, as the future King, William made a strategic decision to cut ties with his younger brother, and has actually distanced himself from Harry ‘more than people realise’. Burrell, who famously worked as the late Princess Diana<\/a>‘s personal butler, recently released a new memoir, The Royal Insider<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n
