The tension between the royal siblings remains palpable, especially after Harry and Meghan stepped back from their working roles in 2020. Subsequent developments, such as Prince Harry's forthcoming memoir and the Sussexes' Netflix documentary, have only fueled the existing discord.
Prince Harry's memoir is rumored to contain private details about his relationship with Prince William, including allegations of a physical altercation between the brothers and William's alleged unfavorable attitude towards Meghan. Dr. Owens pointed out that resolving such conflicts requires an understanding from both parties and a genuine desire to find common ground. Unfortunately, he believes that this desire may be lacking on both sides at the moment.
Dr. Owens didn't rule out the possibility of reconciliation in the future, emphasizing that time is often the healer. However, he stressed that for reconciliation to occur, both sides must show a deeper desire to find common ground and be more understanding, which appears to be lacking at present.
While there have been speculations about Princess Kate acting as a mediator due to her past friendly relationship with Harry, it seems that Kate is distancing herself from the conflict. Prince Harry's revelations in his memoir have strained the relationship further, particularly his comments about Kate and other family members.
The founder of True Royalty, Nick Bullen, mentioned that Prince Harry's comments about Kate and others have discouraged any urge for further conversations. Arthur Valentine added that Princess Diana would likely feel quite bruised by Harry's public portrayal of her in his memoir. Harry's depiction of her initially as a close confidante followed by later portraying her as distant and frosty towards Meghan has caused discomfort within the royal family.
