According to British royals expert Hilary Fordwich, Prince William is said to have banned his brother Prince Harry from ever returning to the royal fold. The heir to the British throne is said to have a "no nonsense" approach when it comes to his ongoing sibling feud with Prince Harry. "It is widely known within the family that Prince William has laid down an absolute ban on Harry returning in any way, shape or form into his former royal family fold," Fordwich told Fox. "If anyone will relent, it would be King Charles III, whom, of course, Prince William won’t challenge, who still misses his ‘darling boy’ and would like to see more of Prince Harry," Fordwich claimed. "However, to this day, after the release of ‘Spare’ and the Netflix serial, as well as with everything else Harry has said, done, and not done, it’s Prince William who adamantly refuses to even speak to his brother."
These comments come days after King Charles' former royal butler Grant Harrold spoke with the New York Post, saying there was one thing the Duke of Sussex could do to be welcomed back into the family. "The only way I see this happening is a public statement from Harry, where you come out and say that you were in a bad space and that [his memoir ‘Spare’] was a mistake," said Harrold. "I don’t think that’s going to happen," he noted. "Some bad things were said, and some families never patch things up, and that’s how it is… Harry has got a big heart, and a part of him probably wishes things would be different."
Fordwich claimed that the king may be willing to spark peace talks with his younger son, but William wouldn't be as easily convinced. "Prince William is the most unlikely royal to ever forgive Harry for all his despicable indiscretions," Fordwich claimed. "He is now very much seen and accepted as the family enforcer, taking on the hard-line ruler role of his grandfather, Prince Philip."
