Prince Harry recently made a solo trip to the U.K. where he visited his late mother, Princess Diana’s ancestral home, Althorp House. The Duke of Sussex, 39, stayed at the historic estate after attending a memorial service for Lord Robert Fellowes. While Prince William was also in attendance at the funeral service, sources revealed that the feuding brothers kept their distance from each other.
It was reported that Harry’s trip back to the U.K. was fueled by his desire to spend more time in his native England and seek advice on how to make frequent visits a possibility amidst his ongoing family rift. Insiders claimed that Harry felt overshadowed by his wife, Meghan Markle, during their recent trips to Nigeria and Colombia, which only added to his frustrations about life in the U.S.
Sources close to the Duke of Sussex shared that Harry is feeling isolated in California and has been reconnecting with old friends in the U.K. He reportedly wants to carve out a way back into royal life and is seeking counsel on how to mend his broken relationship with his family. Royal biographer Angela Levin highlighted how unhappy Harry has looked as he’s been seemingly pushed aside by Meghan.
Despite Harry’s efforts to mend fences with his family, William is said to be adamant about keeping his gossiping younger brother at arm’s length. Royal biographer Christopher Andersen mentioned that the relationship between the brothers has deteriorated, with William and Charles effectively cutting Harry out of their lives for the time being. There seems to be no sign of reconciliation on the horizon, and everyone involved has come to terms with the current state of affairs.
As Harry navigates his strained relationship with his family, he continues to seek advice from old friends on how to mend the broken ties. While the future remains uncertain for the royal siblings, it is evident that tensions are running high within the royal family.
