Duchess Sophie Subtly Took a Side in William & Harry's Feud Amid Reports He Caused ‘Irreparable Harm' to the Royals
The drama in the British royal family has everyone taking sides. How could it not be so, considering King Charles is very sick, succession plans are reportedly underway, and Prince Harry is feuding with his father and his brother, Prince William, at the same time. Recently, reports surfaced that some royals might be looking to fix the rift between the brothers, among them Kate Middleton, but things remain frosty as of now. Prince Harry recently gave an interview in which he spoke openly about wanting to put the rift with his family behind him. 'I would love reconciliation with my family. There's no point continuing to fight any more, life is precious,' Harry said, explaining that the issue of security has 'always been the sticking point' in his recent family troubles. The Prince also said that while 'there have been so many disagreements between myself and some of my family,' he's now 'forgiven' them. More from StyleCaster Charles' Funeral Could Be the Last Time Harry & William Ever See Each Other Again Amid Claims There's 'No Turning Back' in Their Feud Harry & Meghan Accused Charles of Taking a Swipe at Their Kids Amid Reports He 'Didn't Want' Archie & Lili to Have This Royal Perk Related: Did William really cheat on Kate? But whether the rest of the family feels the same remains to be seen. The Duchess of Edinburgh, Sophie, stepped out with Prince William for a joint engagement on June 6th, seemingly sending a message about where she stands, as she and her nephew smiled and looked to get along great during the joint appearance. The Duchess and the Prince attended the Royal Cornwall Show in Wadebridge, Cornwall, together. Prince William is patron of the association, while his aunt Sophie is the vice president. The two are not often paired for royal outings, which made it all the more remarkable that they attended together. Usually, if William is doing joint outings, it's with his wife Kate Middleton, and the same goes for Duchess Sophie with her husband, Prince Edward. Other royals have seemingly come in support of King Charles, and by extension, Prince William, recently. A few days after Prince Harry's interview, King Charles, Princess Ann,e and other members of the British royal family—including Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—were photographed watching the VE Day commemorations from their balcony at Buckingham Palace. Princess Anne's appearance with the family has also been interpreted as a sign of support. This comes as reports indicate William and Harry's relationship is irrevocably broken, and Prince William will look to take harsh action against his brother when he takes the throne. 'It's no secret William wants Harry more harshly dealt with. He thinks he has betrayed the family from top to bottom, which is the ultimate Windsor crime. It wouldn't take much to provoke him to flex his muscles when he is king,' a palace insider told The Daily Beast. Royal expert Hilary Fordwich also told Fox News that Harry's behavior has had quite an impact on the royal family and his reputation in the U.K. 'He is oblivious to the fact that his privileged upbringing was a blessing compared with most,' Fordwich said. 'His behavior is causing irreparable harm nationally, as he was once much loved and second in popularity only to his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.' She continued, 'He doesn't serve his country, he only serves himself. That is abhorrent to all the British and British values.' For now, it seems like the royals are sticking together. Well, all but Prince Harry, his wife, Meghan Markle, and their two kids.
