William ‘Absolutely F—ing Hates' Harry Amid Charles' Secret Plan to Reconcile—He'll ‘Never, Ever Forgive' His Brother
The British royal family drama has given positive signs as of late. King Charles is still ill, but his cancer has been deemed manageable, if incurable. And there are rumors a reconciliation might be in the cards between the King and his youngest son, Prince Harry. In fact, there's even a possible date for a public appearance together, during the upcoming Invictus Games in Birmingham. But things are not as simple when it comes to Prince William and Prince Harry. Last week, King Charles and Prince Harry's senior aides held a secret meeting, according to The Mail on Sunday, the first big step towards resolving the feud between father and son. The talks were held in London. 'There's a long road ahead, but a channel of communication is now open for the first time in years,' said a source. 'There was no formal agenda, just casual drinks. There were things both sides wanted to talk about.'

The King's communications secretary, Tobyn Andreae, the King's communications secretary and Liam Maguire, who runs the Sussexes' PR team in the UK were also present. There was, however, no one's from William's camp in the meeting, which points to the kind of relationship the brothers have right now and the slim chances of reconciliation between the two. In fact, The Daily Beast reported that according to a friend of William, 'He absolutely f***ing hates' his brother Harry. That same source also told the outlet that. 'William will never, ever forgive Harry for what he has done. Charles is the king; he can do what he likes. But make no mistake: William believes with every fiber of his being that giving Harry and Meghan back any royal imprimatur is a huge mistake.' The meeting between King Charles' aides and Prince Harry's is not seen as a definitive fix to their relationship, but as the first step towards a reconciliation. 'Everyone just wants to move on and move forward now. It was finally the right time for the two sides to talk,' the outlet also said. Prince Harry said in a BBC interview in May that he wanted reconciliation. 'There's no point in continuing to fight anymore,' he said. 'Life is precious. Forgiveness is 100 percent a possibility because I would like to get my father and brother back.' Recent reports had even indicated King Charles and Prince Harry might actually be able to fix their relationship, with Prince Harry reportedly inviting his family to the next Invictus Games, which are set to be held in the UK in 2027 and reports that the King had factored not only Prince Harry but Meghan Markle and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, into the heart of his funeral plans. But it seems that, even if King Charles and Prince Harry really are willing to forgive and forget in order to have a relationship with each other, that olive branch does not extend to Prince William.

The reports of strife in the British royal family have taken a turn for the better, or at least some of them. Last week, aides from King Charles and Prince Harry met is what is believed to be the first step for reconciliation between the father and son. And yet, Prince William's aides were not present, and the feud between the brothers seems to be holding strong, even though King Charles wants peace. So, is there any hope for the one super close brothers? For now, it seems like Prince William has found a new close friend. The Prince is said to have developed a friendship with Robert Irwin, and he is said to be eager to collaborate with him. Star reported that Prince William thinks Robert has the 'charisma, work ethic, and heart to truly inspire the next generation,' and that he has 'talked about filming a wildlife special' with Irwin to 'help further their shared mission of conservation.'

' Related: Here's what each royal inherited from Queen Elizabeth Irwin, the son of the late 'Crocodile Hunter' Steve Irwin, was named an ambassador for the Earthshot Prize, an annual award that celebrates contributions to environmentalism. The award is presented by Prince William's charity, The Royal Foundation. 'William has always been a huge fan of the Irwin family; he thinks they're absolutely first rate and really admires the way they've handled Steve's legacy and what they've built from it,' the source said. 'He and Robert met years ago and hit it off right away, so he's thrilled to be working with him on Earthshot. There's a real mutual respect and shared passion for conservation.' Furthermore, William reportedly thinks, 'the Irwins represent the kind of global, positive energy the monarchy needs more of, and he's eager to bring them further into the royal fold.' The so-called bromance between Irwin and Prince William first made headlines when Irwin appeared as a guest on the Tuesday, June 24, episode of Scott Mills' BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show. William had a warning for Scott. 'Just beware, Scott. Robert likes to pull random terrifying animals and creatures out of his pockets while he's on anyone's show and talking to them,' William said in jest. 'Just watch your back at all times [so] that a tarantula or something doesn't suddenly pop onto your desk.' Later, Irwin spoke about his relationship with Prince William with People. 'I talk to him about animals, and like, he is on it. He knows exactly what's going on. In most conversations I have with His Royal Highness, I learn something. I really do,' he said. 'It's this genuine sense of passion. I love that passion. Like that's what I seek. I seek out people that feel like kindred spirits, you know? So it's really awesome. Really is.' This is all coming after The Daily Beast reported that, according to a friend of William, 'He absolutely f—ing hates' his brother Harry, with the same source saying that, 'William will never, ever forgive Harry for what he has done. Charles is the king; he can do what he likes. But make no mistake: William believes with every fiber of his being that giving Harry and Meghan back any royal imprimatur is a huge mistake.' Looks like Prince William and Prince Harry won't be making up anytime soon. William has other people to talk to and lean on these days.

Harry Just Got 1 Step Closer to Moving Back to the UK After Meghan Called It a ‘Problem' For Them to Return
When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left the British royal family and moved to the US, they likely didn't imagine not coming back to the UK. Prince Harry lived his entire life in the UK before, and though he is no longer a working royal, he still has deep ties to the country he was born in. Add to that his father, King Charles' illness, and the recent reports that the two are closer to reconciliation than ever, and it's fair to wonder if Harry could or would want to move back to the UK. Recent reports indicate the Prince is 'very likely' to enroll his children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, in a UK school, despite his wife's objections to the idea. This is reportedly related to the fact that he wants to keep the door open for his kids to stay in the UK if they so wish. More from StyleCaster William Replacing Harry With New 'Bromance' After Reports He 'Absolutely F-ing Hates' Meghan's Husband What William Really Thinks About Harry & Charles Reconciling Amid Reports He 'Absolutely F-ing Hates' His Brother: 'It's No Coincidence... ' Related: Here's what each royal inherited from Queen Elizabeth Grant Harrold, former royal butler to King Charles, said that Harry is 'quite keen' for his children to experience British schooling in an interview with Study Dog, per Hello! 'It's very likely and completely possible,' he said. But of course, that might all depend on how those reconciliation talks go. 'If they have their younger education in America, I'm sure their father will be quite keen to have a bit of a British education,' he added. 'But then it depends on how the relationship is with the rest of the family when the time comes.' Markle, however, had previously said in a 2022 interview with The Cut, that she would not want Archie to go to school in the UK, as she wouldn't be able to drop him off and pick him up at school without having to deal with paparazzi. 'Sorry,' Meghan said, per Hello! 'I have a problem with that. That doesn't make me obsessed with privacy. That makes me a strong and good parent protecting my child.' This comes after last month, the Guardian reported that Prince Harry wanted his kids to have the opportunity to become working royals in the future if they wanted. The outlet said, 'Prince Harry wants to keep the HRH [His/Her Royal Highness] titles for his children so that when they grow older, they can decide for themselves whether they want to become working royals, or stay out of public life.' When that was reported, however, The Daily Beast reported that a source close to Prince William dismissed the idea. 'William obviously isn't going to hire Archie and Lilibet,' the source said. 'This is just trolling on the part of Harry and Meghan. … The idea that somehow having a vestigial HRH as a baby later entitles you to be a working royal is beyond parody, even for them.' All of these reports happened before Prince Harry and King Charles' aides met last week in what is believed to be the first step to resolve the feud between them. 'There's a long road ahead, but a channel of communication is now open for the first time in years,' said a source. 'There was no formal agenda, just casual drinks. There were things both sides wanted to talk about.' If there can really be a reconciliation, that might make the chances of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet attending school in the UK grow exponentially higher. For now, we will just have to wait and see.

Harry's ‘peace talks' have scheming Meghan's hand all over them, he looks lost in his sad little life, expert slams
PRINCE Harry's "peace talks" with King Charles feels like it has Meghan's "game plan" all over them, a royal expert has claimed. The Duke of Sussex is said to have recently 'given his blessing' for the talks involving two of his team plus the King and Queen's director of communications. 3 3 They spoke about potential ways to end their family conflict, though a proposal for Harry to make a royal return was not on the agenda. California-based Harry is next due to visit the UK in September for the annual WellChild events. It opens up the prospect of meeting his father for the first time in 18 months. The Sun's royal editor Matt Wilkinson spoke to two experts on our Royal Exclusive show to discuss the latest developments. Sarah Hewson and Valentine Low shared their thoughts on the size of the task ahead - with Harry feuding with his family for years now. The experts also pondered how Meghan's influence could affect the situation and any prospect of reconciliation. Royal writer Low claimed that any "peace talks" could only benefit Meghan. The former correspondent for The Times said: "There's also the interesting question, perhaps quite cynically, if they reconcile and the relationship with the royal family becomes one of warmth. "I think it will only do Meghan's reputation something good and help her expand brand Meghan." Hewson agreed and claimed it could be another one of Meghan's "schemes". The royal correspondent added: "Meghan is someone with a game plan. Huge Prince Harry update as he arranges peace summit with King Charles 'within weeks' - but has no plans to meet William "Nothing happens by accident and I think Harry relies on Meghan for a lot of guidance through life. "Meghan's got her own plans and business. What is Harry's?" "He does look lost and isolated by himself in Montecito. His father's health is certainly a big wake up call. The royal correspondent added: "I think for these talks to happen, Harry will need to speak to his father one-on-one. "This will be really important as there is a big trust issue." In September the King should still be on holiday at his Balmoral retreat, ahead of hosting US President Donald Trump in the middle of the month. On the weekend, Charles, 76 - whose cancer treatment continues - was pictured leaving a church service in the West Country. In May Harry appeared to have torpedoed reconciliation efforts during a catastrophic and ill- advised interview with the BBC in which he moaned 'the King won't speak to me'. But photos published at the weekend showed the King and Queen's director of communications Tobyn Andreae with Meredith Maines, chief communications officer for Harry's charity Archewell, and its UK and Europe communications manager Liam Maguire. They met on the balcony of the members-only Royal Over-Seas League club a short walk from Buckingham Palace before continuing inside. 'Harry's blessing' It is understood the face-to-face meeting was held to discuss avoiding media clashes and conflicts around calendar dates. Discussions were not held about Prince Harry returning to a more formal royal role. A source claimed: 'The meeting was with Harry's blessing.' Buckingham Palace had also supported the proposals to 'open a channel of communication' — having agreed to them within the past two weeks, it has been claimed. But adding intrigue to the developments, Prince William's team were not involved in the London summit. There was no contact between Harry's team and one working for William and Kate — or any invitation for face-to-face meetings. In September Kate and William will be returning from their summer break with a string of major engagements. There have also been claims Harry will invite members of his estranged family to the Invictus Games when it is held in Birmingham in two years' time. Just two months ago Harry hit out at his father in a BBC interview. It came barely hours after he lost a High Court case asking for taxpayer-funded gun cops despite not being a working royal. Wills must beware of bid for rift By Matt Wilkinson WHILE all eyes were on Harry and the King's spin doctors together having fun in the sun, it was more revealing to see who wasn't there. The King's communications chief Tobyn Andreae turned up with a bottle as a gift for Sussex aides Meredith Maines and Liam Maguire. But there was not a seat at the members' club balcony for anyone from Team William. The Sussexes appear to be offering the hand of friendship — but are they trying to force a wedge between the King and future King? William is right to stick to his guns as he is in a better head space now, is no longer seething and has moved on — but is still waiting for Harry to apologise. While Harry love-bombs his dad — who has not locked the door or thrown away the key to reconciliation — let's not forget it has been his older brother who has consistently made big gestures. It was William who kindly took himself and Kate out of the procession at Harry and Meghan's last royal engagement, the 2020 Commonwealth Day ceremony, after learning the Sussexes had been removed. It was William who stood shoulder to shoulder with Harry to unveil a statue of their mum Diana at Kensington Palace months after the Oprah Winfrey interview. It was William who agreed to wear a morning suit at Prince Philip's funeral instead of military uniform to spare Harry's blushes. It was William who invited the Sussexes to join him to look at Windsor flowers for the late Queen Elizabeth II. William has never publicly trashed his family. The King and William should hopefully see through any attempt to divide them and they must stick together.
