• Prince William and Prince Harry were once close but are now estranged, with Harry feeling ignored by William
• Harry wrote his memoir to explain his side of the story and seek accountability from his family, but has not received a response from his family
• William’s focus on image, professional obligations, and monarchy protection may have strained his relationship with Harry and caused differences with his father, Prince Charles
Here is what happened:
Prince William and Prince Harry are no longer as close as they once were, according to Omid Scobie, the author of Endgame. The brothers have drifted apart significantly, and their estrangement appears to be a major concern for the future of the monarchy. In a recent interview, Scobie pointed out that William is no longer as close to his brother as he once was, and their relationship has deteriorated to the point where neither of them has been able to have a meaningful conversation for almost a year.
While it’s no surprise that there has been no official response or comment from any member of the royal family regarding Harry’s memoir, Spare, the lack of communication between the brothers is certainly alarming. Shockingly enough, William has been described as prioritizing the monarchy’s interests above his relationship with his brother, displaying a level of detachment and even “brainwashed” behavior according to Scobie.
The lack of unity among the young royal family members is particularly evident since the passing of the queen in September 2022, as Charles and William do not appear to be working in sync with each other or sharing a common agenda. Charles’ deepening estrangement from William points to a broader shifting dynamic in the royal family, with each member operating with their own personal agendas. Scobie paints a picture of a highly fragmented royal family that is no longer on the same page, and the implications for the future of the monarchy could be dire.
