Prince William can't stand Harry now – something serious must have happened
PRINCE Harry has failed to meet up with Prince William during his recent UK visits and reconciliation does not seem to be on the horizon. Legendary Sun royal photographer Arthur Edwards claims 'something serious must have happened' between the two brothers for their bond to fully break down. 6 6 6 Speaking on The Sun's Royal Exclusive show, Arthur stated: ' William and Harry were so close all their life, everything they did together. 'They went and they did everything together. They were so close. 'And now something must have happened that seriously happened that William just can't stand him anymore. 'And that's just so sad.' The renowned photographer claims that there could be hope for the two warring brothers in the future. He added: 'I do believe in the prodigal son. 'You can say, I'm sorry and repent and promise not to do it again. 'And I'm sure the King and William will say 'ok, let's give it another try.'' Royal author Robert Jobson claims that Prince Harry needs to a 'straightforward apology' to King Charles and Prince William in order to move forwards. Arthur agreed: 'This is what he's got to show that. He's got to stop this talking about stitch ups and things like that. '[He has to say] 'I'm sorry, papa, I'm sorry. I want to come back. I want to see you. I want to be with you.' ''I want to spend some time with you'. But it's not happening.' Robert added: 'I really don't know how the King can make the first move unless he can trust his son. 'And at the moment, we've not seen any evidence as to why he should.' Harry's family feud 6 Princes William and Harry have not been in direct communication since the release of Harry's controversial memoir, Spare, in January 2023. Their last reported interaction was during the funeral of their grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, in September 2022, but conversations were said to be brief. The feuding brothers reportedly did not speak to each other despite standing 'virtually back to back' among mourners at their uncle's memorial service last August. The Duke of Sussex and his brother did not exchange a word at the memorial in Snettisham, Norfolk - and Harry stayed at Althorp during the UK stay. One mourner said: 'They were only five yards from each other.' The brothers have been at loggerheads since Harry and wife Meghan quit royal duty in 2020 for a new life in the US, where they have launched a succession of barbs at the Royal Family. Court case tirade 6 The Royal dropped some extraordinary bombshells after losing his appeal against the decision to remove his taxpayer-funded security. He described his court loss as a "good old fashioned establishment stitch up" and also took a swipe at William and Kate. He claims he was "singled out" by the Palace and hinted that some members would "never forgive him" for his damning memoir Spare, which brands Queen Camilla"dangerous." Some heads were turned when Harry insisted he had forgiven his family, with experts slamming the Royal for not apologising himself. In the scathing attack, the Duke of Sussex unleashed a host of new claims including how dad Charles is no longer speaking to him and how he's "uncovered his worst fears". He said he would "love reconciliation" with the royal family but claims whether they will make up will ultimately be up to his father, saying: "It's in his hands." He added: "I have no idea how much longer my father has - he is no longer speaking to me - but it would be nice to reconcile." Throughout the interview Harry also hit out at the UK saying he felt "let down" by his country and claims he will no longer be returning to his homeland. Despite his claims of seeking a reconciliation, Harry insisted he had no regrets even if his family will never forgive him. A timeline of Prince Harry's family feud IN 2018, the Sun told how "simmering tension The first hints of friction reportedly came after William was introduced to Meghan when she was staying at Kensington Palace. Once she'd returned home to Canada, William and Harry sat down for a brother-to-brother chat. He knew Harry was already head-over-heels for her but it has been claimed he advised him to take it slowly. The younger prince reportedly didn't take too kindly to the advice, with one royal source saying he "went mental". Then in June 2019 Harry and Meghan officially split off from the charity they shared with William and Kate. The Royal Foundation will be divided between the Sussexes and Cambridges as the couples focus on their own separate charitable endeavours. Prince William and Prince Harry first established the Royal Foundation in 2009 before Kate joined two years later shortly after their engagement was announced. The trio would often appear together at events and the Foundation had huge successes with projects like the Invictus Games for injured veterans and the mental health Heads Together campaign. The Royal Foundation said the decision was made following the conclusion of a review into its structure - but added both couples will continue to work together in the future. Harry and Meg were living in close proximity to Kate and Wills within the Kensington Palace estate, but they switched to Frogmore Cottage in Windsor before baby Archie was born. The move further increased rumours of a fallout. Harry also hinted in his ITV documentary"Harry and Meghan, An African Journey" that he and his brother had grown apart. In 2021, Harry and Meghan give their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey where Harry accused his dad of cutting him off financially. Harry then jetted back to UK to join William in unveiling a statue to their mother Princess Diana in the grounds of Kensington Palace. But sources claimed William didn't want to attend the memorial amid their ongoing rift. In 2022, just before their grandmother the Queen died, sources claimed Kate acts as a "peacemaker" between the brothers. Harry claimed his brother "knocked him to the floor" during an argument about Meghan, in his memoir. In Spare, Harry said William branded Meghan "rude" and "difficult" during a row. Harry alleged William "grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and … knocked me to the floor". He said he was left with a visible injury to his back following the argument in 2019 at Nottingham Cottage on the grounds of Kensington Palace, where he was living at the time. In January 2024, Harry flew in to be with Charles after the monarch's shock cancer diagnosis. Harry flew back to the US the following day - without seeing Wills.

Prince Harry's always been disrespectful, I know all about his underlying issues
PRINCE Harry has been criticised for having a history of being 'disrespectful', according to royal experts. The Duke of Sussex sent shockwaves through the royal family doing a bombshell 30-minute tirade on BBC following his legal defeat surrounding his security. 8 8 8 This followed his critical memoir Spare and his explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey after he and Meghan Markle stepped down as senior royals in 2020. However, royal author Robert Jobson claims Prince Harry, 40, has always had 'an edge'. Speaking on The Sun's Royal Exclusive show, he said: 'He was quite chippy… to a degree. I think he always had an edge.' Legendary Sun photographer Arthurs Edwards disagreed, saying: 'When we were on the road with Harry, we never got that feeling that he hated the press then. He was very cooperative with the press.' However, Robert retorted: 'Well, he did certain things, didn't he? I mean, there were things I remember he did with you that you didn't particularly like. 'He was quite disrespectful at times, I think.' The royal author then pointed out the moment Prince Harry cheekily put a hand print of purple paint on the renowned photographer's forehead during a visit to a youth centre in Auckland in 2015. Robert added: 'I remember that time he put his hand in paint on your head.' Clearly unphased by the incident, Arthur defended Harry saying: 'Yeah, but that was because I'd gone on television that morning and said he was going bald. 'He was having a bit of a come back. That was fun. Harry BLAMES royals for court defeat, says it's their fault if anything happens to him but STILL wants reconciliation 'When we washed up together, we laughed about it.' Robert insisted: 'I don't know. I think he always had an issue. I think he always had an issue.' The Duke of Sussex received a wave of criticism following his BBC interview, which followed a lengthy three-year row over his security. 8 8 8 8 His round-the-clock security was axed when Harry and Meghan stepped back from royal duties in 2020. This month he suffered yet another humiliating defeat as he fought to get it back. Harry insisted he is a victim of an establishment stitch-up and said he 'can't see a world' in which he would bring his wife and kids here. The royal claimed he did not want his father to intervene in the security row, adding: 'I asked him to step out of the way and let the experts do their jobs. 8 'He claimed there had been 'interference' by the Royal Household in the 2020 decision, which he said resulted in his status as the most at-risk royal being downgraded to the least at risk 'overnight'. Despite Harry's claims, it is understood the Royal Household's role and power on the committee is minimal — and rests solely working around family members' diaries. A Palace spokesman said of the long-running security battle: 'All of these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by the courts, with the same conclusion reached on each occasion.' Why did Prince Harry and Meghan Markle step back as senior working royals? PRINCE Harry has always wanted out of the Royal Family and the repercussions will be felt for years, an expert has claimed. The Duke of Sussex has lived in California with his wife Meghan Markle since 2020 after they dramatically quit their jobs as working royals and moved across the pond. Katie Nicholl, who is Vanity Fair's royal correspondent, told The Sun's Royal Exclusive show that Megxit did not come as a surprise to her. Speaking to The Sun's Royal Editor Matt Wilkinson, the commentator explained: "Anyone who knows Harry is aware he's always wanted a way out of the Royal Family. "He's said multiple times on the record that he wished he'd never been born a prince. "I think he really is living the life he wants to now. It's very, very sad that it's played out the way it has.' In a statement made on the Sussexes' Instagram account as they stepped back in 2020, the pair wrote: "After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution. "We intend to step back as 'senior' members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen. "It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment. "We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honour our duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages. "This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity.'

Prince Harry's torched any chance of an olive branch from King Charles – he isn't trusted, expert slams
Freya Parsons Published: Invalid Date, PRINCE Harry has "torched any chance of an olive branch from King Charles" and can't be trusted, exerts slam. The Royal dropped some extraordinary bombshells in his surprise BBC interview, which experts worry may have cost him his relationship with his father. 5 5 During the shock interview he told how he has "forgiven" the Royal family, despite being criticised for not apologising himself. He said: "I have no idea how much longer my father has - he is no longer speaking to me - but it would be nice to reconcile." On The Sun's Royal Exclusive show, Royal Royal Editor asked: "Has Prince Harry ruined any chance of reconciliation with the King? "Has he set fire to any olive branches that may well have emerged from Buckingham Palace after this BBC interview following his security case defeat?" Royal author Robert Jobson replied: "He's done so much damage. "He's criticised the Queen, the King's wife. "He's attacked his brother, called his brother a bully, and attacked his brother's wife. "And then what does he expect?" Robert pinned the interview as an "emotional outburst" and said the interview was a mistake for anyone looking to make amends, suggesting the Royal couldn't be trusted anymore. He added: "The big problem with Harry is that even if there was an attempt at a reconciliation with a private conversation, you can't trust him that those conversations would probably become public. 'Thoughtless' Harry 'lets his moaning cast shadow over royals' work' In the scathing attack after losing his appeal, the Duke of Sussex unleashed a host of new claims including how his dad Charles is no longer speaking to him. He said he would "love reconciliation" with the royal family but claims whether they will make up will ultimately be up to his father, saying: "It's in his hands." Legendary Royal photographer Arthur Edwards said given the interview was so widely broadcasted it gave Harry the chance to right some wrongs - something he didn't do. He said: " When he had the chance to correct a lot of it, he didn't do that. "He didn't say 'look, I probably got that wrong, Dad, and I'm sorry, William.' "I mean, what he did, it was pretty treacherous." Throughout the interview, Harry also hit out at the UK saying he felt "let down" by his country and claims he will no longer be returning to his homeland. Despite his claims of seeking a reconciliation, Harry insisted he had no regrets even if his family would never forgive him. Arthur believes if this is what Harry truly wants, he should have taken a different approach during his interview. He continued: "If he'd have said in that interview 'I'm sorry Dad for what I've done,' I think then the King would have probably said 'okay let's have a chat.' "All he needs to do is say sorry and that he's not going to do it again, not going to betray the Royal family again - he just got it all wrong." The Duke of Sussex said he would "love reconciliation" with the royal family after years of feuding but experts are cautious that the chance of this are slipping away. Harry has been fighting with his own brother Prince William, since he and Meghan stepped down as working royals in 2020. Now that he has participated in the lengthy court battle over taxpayer-funded security he said has been fighting with his father. Another tragic revelation in the bombshell interview was when Prince Harry revealed that King Charles, won't speak to him. Harry said when making the emotional admission: "He won't speak to me because of this security stuff." In the interview, he added: "There have been so many disagreements between myself and some of my family." Hopes of reconciliation may be spurred on by Harry's concerns for his father's health sharing: "I don't know how long he has left." He continued: "There is no point in continuing to fight any more. "Life is precious." Shortly after the wave-making interview, the BBC admitted an embarrassing "lapse in standards" over its coverage of Harry's security case court loss. The following morning, the BBC flagship current affairs programme Radio 4 stunned listeners in a one-sided interview with former close protection officer Richard Aitch. In a statement on their website the BBC said: "The programme covered the latest developments in the story of Prince Harry and his legal case around protection for him and his family in the UK and interviewed former close protection officer Richard Aitch to get a broader understanding of security considerations. They added: "Claims were repeated that the process had been 'an establishment stitch-up' and we failed to properly challenge this and other allegations." Prince Harry's biggest bombshells: Prince Harry lost his publicly-funded security appeal in a humiliating blow today Harry claimed the King WON'T speak to him 'because of this security stuff' He said he 'can't see a world' where he would bring his wife and children to the UK Harry revealed he has 'forgiven' his family and was up for reconciliation - but claimed it was ALL down to Charles The royal described his court loss as a 'good old fashioned establishment stitch up' He also said he feels 'let down' by his country and reached out to the PM for help. Buckingham Palace breaks its silence with a scathing statement after the bombshell interview Prince Harry says he 'doesn't know how long King Charles has left' 5 5
