Prince William doesn’t want Prince Harry at coronation but won’t make ‘foolish’ mistake: expert
Prince William has been thinking about his future – and it doesn’t seem to include Prince Harry.
The Prince of Wales is said to have made it known that when he is crowned king, he wants his coronation to “look and feel different,” the UK Sunday Times reported. Pals claimed to the outlet that the father of three does not want the Duke of Sussex present.
“They are estranged, which is dreadfully sad,” one of the brothers’ closest friends claimed to the outlet.
A pal told the UK Sunday Times that Prince William (right) doesn’t want Prince Harry (left) at his funeral when the time comes.
The friend also claimed that William and Harry hadn’t spoken in nearly two years.
Christopher Andersen, author of “The King,” told Fox News Digital he remains hopeful that William won’t shut Harry out on his big day.
“Despite all the bad blood between the brothers, I’m convinced that, when the time does come, William will not be foolish enough to exclude his only sibling, now fifth in line to the throne, from his coronation,” said Andersen.
A spokesperson for Kensington Palace, which handles the offices of the Prince and Princess of Wales, did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
Prince William (left) and Prince Harry (right) have had a strained relationship since the Duke of Sussex made his royal exit in 2020.
William would ascend to the throne upon his father’s death. King Charles became monarch when his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, died in 2022 at age 96.
Charles, as well as William’s wife, Kate Middleton, are battling cancer. The relationship between the battling brothers has been strained since Harry made his royal exit in 2020 alongside his wife, Meghan Markle.
“Things probably have never been worse between the brothers than they are now,” Andersen explained. “William and Charles have pretty much made the joint decision to effectively cut Harry out of their lives, at least for the time being. There is no sign of a reconciliation on the horizon, and everyone involved seems to have pretty much come to terms with that.”
