Prince William's 'strict' stance on Prince Harry even if he reconciles with King

Prince William's 'strict' stance on Prince Harry even if he reconciles with King

Daily Mirror15-07-2025
A royal source has told the Mirror that Prince William is still 'deeply wounded' by the allegations levelled against him by Prince Harry in his various interviews and memoir, Spare
Prince William remains"deeply wounded" by Prince Harry and has no plans to contact him - even if he reconciles with other Royal Family members, according to an source.

It is said that King Charles would welcome a reunion with his youngest son the Duke of Sussex, as long as he scales back his public attacks on the family and stops the "endless" interviews. It comes after senior aides to both father and son held a secret peace summit last week - said to be a "significant" step in reuniting the feuding pair. At least three representatives from either side were seen speaking at the Royal Over-Seas League which sits just three minutes from Clarence House.


The meeting has prompted many to wonder if the aides had been discussing a possible meeting between the King and Harry, when he is due to visit the UK in September. However, no representatives for William, who also has an extremely rocky relationship with his brother, were at the meeting.
And a royal source told the Mirror that the Prince of Wales is still reeling over his falling out with his brother, as he continues to struggle with claims made by Harry in various interviews and in his autobiography Spare.
The source said: "The Prince of Wales remains deeply wounded by Prince Harry's various allegations in his memoir and endless broadcast interviews over the last few years.

"There are no plans to either make contact with or arrange to see the Duke of Sussex in the near future and regardless of any members of the family seeking reconciliation, that is certainly not on the prince's mind. Both the Prince and Princess of Wales are entirely focussed on their various important duties and their own family."
It comes as a close friend of the Waleses has also spoken out over the potential reconciliation, telling MailOnline that William and his wife Kate had not been made aware of the meeting, and had been deliberately left out.

'It's no coincidence that William and Catherine did not have a representative at the Royal Over-Seas League,' says one of the royal couple's alleged friends. 'They were not asked to send anyone and will be treating the talks with extreme caution."
The insider close to the Waleses referred to one of the biggest obstacles in the way of a 'rapprochement process' between the Sussexes and the rest of the royal family: the loss of trust.

While the royals haven't been on speaking terms with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Sussexes have made the most of their platform by engaging in several tell-all interviews in which they dropped several allegations against the Firm, as Harry also did in his autobiography Spare.
But if any reconciliation is to be on the cards between father and son, one source warned it would only come if Harry, 40, stops conducting "endless rounds of broadcast interviews as his only way of communication".
A source previously told the Mirror: "The King has consistently shown he loves both his sons and as he has done in the past is prepared to meet Harry when their diaries allow such an occasion. It's not unusual for aides from different households to meet, especially when there is a new influx of staff starting their roles, but of course this is a significant moment.

"Senior members of the family have in the past said to Harry that he must both stop his attacks on the family as well as giving endless rounds of broadcast interviews as his only way of communication. If there is a period of calm and reflection on the part of the Duke of Sussex, then there may be a way forward for him to begin along the road of repairing his relationship with his father.'
Harry recently made public his desire to bury the hatchet with his family, saying in a tell-all interview with the BBC in May that he 'would love a reconciliation' with the King and William, as he admitted that he was tired of fighting, and he worried about Charles' health because he did 'not know how much longer [his] father has.' In the interview, the Duke even said: "I would like to get my father and brother back."

In the last week, the duo became 'exclusive' as Harry was supposedly closed off and happy in their couple. This was whilst Shakira got to know Conor Phillips, but she later made a huge confession to Toni Laites. She admitted that she had 'suppressed emotions' when it came to her true feelings toward Harry, and she then ended things with Conor. The footballer then flirted with Shakira behind Helena's back, suggesting that it "would be a good idea" for the pair to hang out when they both leave the villa. Shakira also said that he was her "best sleeping buddy" for snuggles, which he described as being "so good, like perfect," despite his exclusivity. At the Grafties, Harry & Shakira were nominated for the surprise Critics Choice Award. A clip of Harry's recent flirtations with Shakira was shown to the group, which left the rest of the contestants either cringing or open mouthed with shock When it came to deciding who should get the award, Megan went up on the podium and completely lambasted Harry for his treatment of both Helena and Shakira. She announced: "Basically, we picked these two people because I think everyone's faces spoke volumes when that clip was shown. Love Island star Shakira tells co-stars 'shut the f--- up' and makes honest confession about feelings for Harry "Especially how recent it was, and I think these two girls have suffered enough at the hands of this boy, from day one." She added: "I think we can all realise now that he is the problem, the common denominator in all this and I think these two girls deserve better." Droves of Love Island fans have since taken to social media to praise the star for her poise at that moment. Writing on X - formerly known as Twitter - one fan wrote: "Megan that speech was just what Harry needed to hear." A second enthusiastically stated: "Megan stood on business by calling Harry out." As someone else commented: "Finally, someone telling Harry how it is. He thinks he can get away with everything." And a fourth added: "Go on Meg." 8 Megan said that Harry was 'the common denominator' as both girls deserved better Credit: ITV2 8 Helena could barely look at her partner during the dramatic award ceremony Credit: ITV2 8 She was left absolutely devastated by his actions behind her back Credit: ITV2 8 Most of the contestants cringed as they watched the clip Credit: ITV2 8 Angel was left open-mouthed as Harry's behaviour came to light Credit: ITV2 Love Island continues on ITV2 and is available to stream on ITVX.

England fans upset as Agyemang omitted from Royal Family photo

July 26 - England's Royal Family is under fire from Lioness fans after a good luck message that included photos of several players was missing young star Michelle Agyemang. The 19-year-old Agyemang, who is Black, saved England at the brink with late goals in both their narrow quarter-final win over Sweden and semi-final victory over Italy. "I think that would never, ever be intentional," England coach Sarina Wiegman said, when asked about the omission in Saturday's pre-game press conference. "I think the message from the Royal Family is that they really, really support us, and we really appreciate that. It's unfortunate that (Agyemang) is not on the picture, but there's all good intentions." The Royal Family posted their congratulations on reaching the Euro final on several social media platforms. "Your journey to this stage has been nothing short of remarkable, showcasing the skill, determination (and test of nerve!) for which your team is so rightly celebrated," the message said. "Knowing the Lionesses' fighting spirit, I suspect we are in for another thrilling encounter on Sunday. "Your achievements continue to inspire countless girls and women across the nation, proving once again that with dedication and teamwork, anything is possible. Good luck, England. May you roar to victory once more." The Royal Family did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the post. It includes a photo of England's starting 11 for a game earlier in the tournament and includes Jess Carter, who announced earlier in the tournament that she was coming off of social media after receiving racist abuse. The post also includes several other players in action. The post was met with an outcry from many fans on social media. "Black women aren't invisible. Let's stop erasing them," Miriam Walker-Khan, the founder of Brown Girl Sport, wrote on X.

Game of Thrones star joins 'promising' new historical BBC drama opposite James Norton

The BBC has unveiled a sneak peek at the forthcoming historical drama King and Conqueror, set to broadcast next month. The series, formerly known as 1066, will see the pair battle for the throne alongside their respective wives. ‌ The teaser features James Norton in the role of Harold, Earl of Wessex, while Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, known for Game of Thrones, plays William, Duke of Normandy. ‌ The drama will depict the duo's struggle for the throne, alongside their respective wives, Edith Swan-neck (Emily Beecham) and Matilda (Clémence Poésy). ‌ The trailer also introduces allies and foes such as King Edward (Eddie Marsan), Lady Emma (Juliet Stevenson), Morcar (Elander Moore), Gytha (Clare Holman), Tostig (Luther Ford), Queen Gunhild (Bo Bragason) and Godwin (Geoff Bell). King and Conqueror tells the tale of a conflict that shaped the destiny of a nation – and a continent – for a millennium, with roots reaching back decades and extending through two intertwined family dynasties, vying for power across two countries and a turbulent sea, reports the Mirror. ‌ Harold of Wessex and William of Normandy were two men fated to clash at the Battle of Hastings in 1066; two allies with no initial ambition for the English throne, who found themselves compelled by circumstance and personal obsession into a war for its crown. The programme consists of eight hour-long episodes and will also feature Jean-Marc Barr as King Henry, Elliott Cowan as Sweyn, Bjarne Henriksen as Earl Siward, Oliver Masucci as Baldwin, Indy Lewis as Margaret, Jason Forbes as Thane Thomas, Ingvar Sigurdsson as Fitzosbern, Ines Asserson as Judith, Sveinn Ólafur Gunnarsson as Hardrada and Léo Legrand as Odo. ‌ Fresh promotional artwork for the drama presents a monochrome portrait of Harold with a resolute expression whilst William looms behind him, ready for combat. BBC audiences were swift to react to the programme's preview, with one commenting: "I hope they include the part where William had Harold buried on the beach, to guard the English shore.'I always found that quite touching, like a mark of his respect for such a great warrior." Another contributed: "The story of William the Conqueror; updated for a modern audience," whilst a third wrote: "Bout damn time they dropped this trailer. They been talking about this show for a year and a half." Someone else remarked: "Hopefully, this show will fulfill how I missed Vikings," as another contributed: "First i have heard of this but it seems really promising."
