Accused of using the messages as a publicity stunt and damage control tactic after being linked to racist allegations against King Charles and the Princess of Wales, the couple reached out to express concern and best wishes. However, Prince William, according to a palace source, was unimpressed and perceived ulterior motives behind their actions. Particularly angered that Harry learned about his father's prostate diagnosis through the media instead of directly from the palace, Prince William considered the gesture cheap and hypocritical.
Furious about the damage Harry and Meghan allegedly inflicted on the royal family and their reputation, Prince William saw the messages as an attempt to manipulate the public and media. He did not appreciate what he perceived as fake concern and chose not to respond to their messages. Additionally, William was appalled that Harry discovered his father's condition from the news, viewing it as a sign of Harry's growing distance and disconnection from the family. Blaming Meghan for driving a wedge between Harry and his father, William felt she encouraged Harry to betray his family and country.
The source further revealed that Prince William had no intention of reconciling with Harry and Meghan, having severed all contact with them. Determined to protect his family and future role as king from their perceived negative influence, William considered them a threat to the monarchy and the nation. He has instructed his staff and allies to follow suit, expressing distrust and a lack of forgiveness towards the couple. Prince William perceives Harry and Meghan as selfish, disloyal, and dishonest, and has made it clear that he wants them to stay away from him and his life.
