It comes after The Sun's Royal show asked viewers if they wanted to see the two reconcile, and a staggering 73% said no. Robert said: "I think it's too late. Too much has gone under the bridge, in my opinion. Too much water." Sky News royal editor Rhiannon Mills agreed, saying Harry had thrown his family 'under the bus.' She added: "The biggest issue for Harry and Meghan, is that an awful lot has been said. "The whole family kind of went under the bus, really, in the documentaries and in Spare. And there are lots of things that they cannot erase in terms of what's been said." Robert also revealed that the Duke of Sussex's recent trip to Angola, where Princess Diana went, also did nothing to sway the public on letting him back into the royal family. Prince Harry recently followed in his mum's footsteps walking through minefields in Angola and speaking to the charity Halo, who help clear them, something he also did in 2019. The royal expert said: "But the reality was that was a big deal then. "It wasn't a big deal this time around. So he's not got the same draw that he had. He must know that. When you've trashed your family and monetised it." Meghan & Harry's war with the royals will NEVER end - they'll drag it on as long as they have breath in his body 5 Monetising over the family feud will be hard to come back from Credit: AP Robert went on to say that Diana's authorised biography, Her True Story, was different as she didn't monetise from it, while Harry did with his book Spare. "She didn't monetise it for herself. He made a fortune out of it," he explained. "He's asking for forgiveness. Well, you know, I think that his father probably will in the long term. I think he probably will. I just don't see William and Camilla doing it." Earlier this month, Meredith Maines, Meghan and Harry's chief of staff in California, and Liam Maguire, the head of their UK PR operation, recently met Charles's communication secretary Tobyn Andreae at the Royal Over-Seas League which sits just three minutes from Clarence House. The secret peace summit sparked rumours a reconciliation is in the works, but Prince William's team was notably absent. The Duke revealed in his bombshell BBC interview "life is precious" and "I would like to get my father and brother back". It comes after Harry opened up a number of wounds when he spoke to US talk show host Oprah Winfrey alongside his new wife about how Meghan was allegedly treated during her time as part of the family. Meghan claimed she was left suicidal due to how she was treated as Harry said that questions were raised about the colour of their child's skin colour by other royals. The Prince would also publish his bombshell book Spare in 2023 after moving to California which stirred up further controversies. He reportedly hasn't seen Charles in years with his last direct communication with brother William coming in 2022. The feuding brothers reportedly didn't even speak to each other despite standing 'virtually back to back' among mourners at their uncle's memorial service last year. Inside Prince William and Prince Harry's 'feud' TENSIONS have been running high in the royal family since Prince Harry stepped down from royal duties in 2020 and relocated to California with Meghan Markle. 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 year. Growing up, Wills and Harry shared many of the same friends who were part of their close, tight-knit circle. But their relationship took a sour turn after Harry lobbed vile allegations against the Prince of Wales in his memoir Spare - and they are said to have not been in direct contact since the 2023 release. In the book, he claimed William had physically attacked him and knocked him to the floor in 2019 and made insulting comments about Meghan. The Sussexes had also targeted Princess Kate, when Meghan claimed the royal made her cry. The bitter feud was ignited when the Sussexes told Oprah, in their 2021 sit down interview, that certain members of the Royal Family had speculated about Prince Archie's skin colour. It was later claimed the royals were Princess Kate and King Charles, after Harry and Meghan's former pal Omid Scobie published his hatchet-job book Endgame. During the infamous Oprah interview, the duchess also made stinging comments about the Firm and how they handled her mental health struggles. Prince William and Harry's bond then worsened after the Sussexes made a number of accusations against the Royal Family in their 2022 Netflix docuseries. The duke has given subsequent interviews, such as his most BBC chat in May 2025, that have only propelled bad blood.

Prince Harry will be a bald 50-year-old has-been – a bit-part ex-royal with NO money, expert says
AS Prince Harry and Meghan Markle lose their $100 million Netflix deal, royal experts say the future looks dire for the couple's prospects. Since departing from the royal family, the pair have had countless media contracts together and separately to share their life in California. 4 A royal expert has said Prince Harry will end up a 'bald has-been' Credit: AFP 4 The pair's Netflix five-year deal is said to not be going ahead Credit: Getty 4 Royal experts claim the spotlight is waning on the Sussexs as the royal kids gain popularity Credit: AP But future shows will let they inked with Meghan and Harry for 'With Love, Meghan, and a host of other shows quietly lapse when it is due for renewal in September. It was once seen as a secure form of income for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex , but now experts say it's a sign that their time is running out. Speaking on The Sun's Royal Exclusive show, Robert Jobson said Prince Harry's popularity is dwindling as the public focus their attention on the younger royals, Prince William's children, George, Charlotte and Louis. He said: "I think the show's moving on. When we're talking about when we were in New Zealand all those years ago, he was a big noise then.

And they will become really, frankly, bit part players. "Now they won't like that. And that's probably what this is all about, making sure they've got a presence, a brand to monetise, because pretty soon they're going to be really so far removed from the main game, they're not going to be able to get as much money out of being royals."

Speaking on The Sun's royal show, Robert agreed, adding: "You know, he'll be a bald 50-year-old prince. Someone formerly known as Prince, that's what he will be."

'I was on receiving end of Prince Harry outburst and he looked really patronising'
A royal expert has revealed a run-in she had with Prince Harry while he was a working royal and how a seemingly simple question blew up into an angry exchange A royal correspondent has opened up about how she was on the receiving end of an outburst from Prince Harry after asking him a seemingly simple question. Before Harry and wife Meghan Markle quit their royal roles to move to California, they completed two royal tours together, one to Australia and New Zealand shortly after their wedding, and then one to Southern Africa in 2019. The trip to Africa saw the couple take young son Archie to South Africa, with Harry also going solo to both Angola and Malawi. The tour was seen as somewhat of a turning point for the Sussexes as they mulled over their future. Covering that tour was Sky News Royal Editor Rhiannon Mills, who was in Malawi with Harry and decided to ask him a question at the end of an engagement. Mills had previously struck up a rapport with the Duke of Sussex after interviewing him for TV during his solo trip to New Zealand several years before. She told The Sun's Royal Exclusive show that she decided, as he walked to his car, to ask him why it was important for him to come here - but was quickly given a short shrift. She explained: "It was a terrible question. It was a rubbish question. I just sort of said, 'oh, why is it so important for you to come here?' And he looked at me and said, 'oh, well, just go and ask those people over there'. And I probably inside thought, hang on a minute, I'm not gonna leave this one. "I said, well, is that why it's so important for you to come here? And then he turned around and just said, 'Rhiannon, don't behave like that'. And then got in his car and drove off. I felt like I'd looked like an idiot. He looked really patronising. Nobody came out of it looking good. Anyway, it all blew up with his team. They were livid." After the exchange, Harry and the rest of the royal press pack travelled back to Johannesburg, where the couple dropped a bombshell statement that they were to launch legal proceedings against a UK newspaper. And Mills added: "Immediately I just realised, I frankly kicked the bear and I just didn't realise it at the time." Shortly after the couple's return to the UK after that trip, a documentary aired on ITV detailing their visit to Africa. In it, Harry talked about his rift with William for the first time, while new mum Meghan revealed nobody had asked her if she was OK. Afterwards, it was revealed that Meghan and Harry would be taking several weeks off from royal duties, and they later spent Christmas 2019 in Canada. Just weeks later, following the Sandringham Summit, it was revealed the pair would be stepping down as senior royals and they've since carved out a life for themselves and their children in the United States.
