The future of the British monarchy could be closely connected to whether Prince William and Prince Harry can repair their strained relationship, according to royal commentator Robert Jobson.
Speaking to the Daily Express UK, Jobson suggested that a reconciliation between the brothers could eventually become important for the Royal Family. He also indicated that Harry may need to take the first step by apologizing to William before the possibility of a genuine reunion can move forward.
The comments come as reports continue to surround Harry and Meghan Markle’s plans for a longer stay in Britain. The couple left their senior royal roles in 2020 before relocating to the United States, but they are now reportedly considering spending an extended period in the UK with their two children.
According to reports, the Sussexes could choose a location outside London rather than return to royal residences. Their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, are also reportedly expected to attend school in Britain if the family proceeds with the move.
Jobson suggested that Harry could eventually seek a closer connection with the Royal Family again. He argued that returning to the royal fold could provide the Duke with greater access to the security and financial advantages associated with royal life.
The commentator also pointed to King Charles’ health and suggested that Harry may feel there is limited time to improve his relationship with his father. The situation could therefore put additional pressure on the Duke to resolve his differences with William.
However, any reconciliation between the brothers would likely be complicated by years of tension and public disagreements. William and Harry have remained largely distant, despite occasional meetings and family-related events.
King Charles is reportedly happy about the possibility of having Harry, Meghan and their children closer to Britain. The reported move could give the King more opportunities to spend time with his grandchildren and rebuild his relationship with his youngest son.
There has been no comparable public reaction from Prince William or Kate Middleton to the latest reports. Their silence leaves uncertainty over how the future King and Princess of Wales would respond if Harry and Meghan were to establish a more permanent base in Britain.
For now, the reported UK return does not automatically mean that Harry and Meghan would regain their former royal roles or status. Any major change in their relationship with the institution would depend on future decisions by the Royal Family.
Still, if Harry genuinely hopes to rebuild his connection with William and return closer to royal life, repairing their fractured brotherly relationship could be one of the biggest challenges standing in his way.
