The rift between Prince William and Prince Harry continues to deepen, with new reports suggesting the future king is now filled with regret over how long he maintained ties with his estranged younger brother.
Once known for their close bond, William and Harry’s relationship began to fracture after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped back from senior royal duties in 2020. Since then, a string of public revelations—including Harry’s bombshell memoir Spare—have fueled growing animosity within the royal family.

According to InTouch Weekly, Prince William is now feeling the full weight of the fallout. “He refuses to get into a public back-and-forth with his brother about any of this,” a royal insider told the outlet.
“It’s getting old at this point. He feels that Harry made his decision to walk away, and he should abide by the consequences that come with that.” While William has largely remained silent in public, sources claim the Prince of Wales has “lost all his patience when it comes to Harry and Meghan.”
The publication reports that William was particularly angered by Harry’s recent BBC interview, which followed the Duke’s failed legal bid to reinstate his taxpayer-funded police protection while in the U.K.
The court’s decision, described by some as “devastating” for Harry, appears to have reignited royal tensions behind the scenes. Insiders suggest that the interview pushed William to reconsider whether Harry and Meghan should continue to hold their royal titles—something he has reportedly debated for some time.
More revealingly, sources claim William now regrets not cutting ties with Harry earlier. The insider said the future monarch has been struggling with what many in his circle view as repeated breaches of royal trust. “He wishes he had severed ties with Harry and his family much sooner,” the source shared.

The brotherly estrangement has now stretched across multiple years, with no sign of reconciliation on the horizon. While King Charles has occasionally shown signs of openness to repair the fractured family dynamic, William’s position appears far less forgiving.
The Prince of Wales remains focused on his royal duties and family, and, according to insiders, sees little value in rehashing old wounds in public or private. For now, the silence between the two brothers speaks volumes—and according to those close to William, it may become permanent.
