Experts Say William and Harry's Relationship "Impossible" to Fix

The relationship between Prince William and Prince Harry is considered by some to be irreparably damaged. The brothers, once known for their close bond, have reportedly grown distant over the years. While the initial strains in their relationship predate Harry's decision to step back from royal duties in 2020, the situation has seemingly worsened, with reports suggesting they no longer communicate. This is believed to be a consequence of Harry's 2023 memoir.

Experts have weighed in on the possibility of reconciliation. One historian believes that a resolution is unlikely, stating that the differing expectations of each brother make a resolution impossible. Another expert suggests that a resolution hinges on Harry offering an apology. The rift is described as deep and enduring, with the potential for change dependent on Harry's actions.

The absence of their mother, Princess Diana, is also considered a factor. It is believed that Diana, who passed away in 1997, would have actively worked to mediate between her sons. Her role as a peacemaker and her vision for their relationship, where the younger brother would support the elder, is seen as a significant loss in the context of their current estrangement.
