Speaking to the Daily Express, author Tom Quinn shed light on this dynamic, stating, "I think Harry has been aware of this for some time, and it does upset him." Mike Tindall's marriage to Zara Tindall, William and Harry's cousin, in 2011, has provided ample opportunities for him to integrate into the wider royal family over the years. Quinn shared his observations, emphasizing, "I've spoken to a couple of people who know William well, and he really does get on very well with Mike Tindall. But then everyone in the royal family likes Mike Tindall because he has never caused trouble for anyone."
Describing Mike's character, Quinn outlined his amiable traits, noting, "He is famously good-tempered, solid, and easy to get on with. Also, he has no airs and pretensions. He and his wife decided to turn down honors for their children, which is very modest and very unusual." Expanding on Mike's relationship with William, Quinn elaborated, "So yes, he is close to William. He has none of the emotional baggage and difficulties that William has with Harry. I think Harry has been aware of this for some time, and it does upset him."
Despite Harry's awareness of their close rapport, the prospect of him intervening to advocate for his brother seems unlikely. As Quinn remarked, "He sees it as inevitable because he can't have a close relationship at the moment with William." In 2020, Harry and Meghan Markle relocated to Montecito, California, marking a significant transition in their lives. Harry's reflections in the Netflix series about leaving friends behind in the UK and encountering challenges in establishing new friendships in the US shed light on the complexities of his current situation. Reports indicate that, despite the passage of four years, Harry finds himself isolated, residing in a gated community in California, underscoring the profound impact of these changes on his personal and social landscape.
