Prince Harry’s hopes for a reconciliation with the Royal Family seem increasingly unlikely as reports suggest Prince William has firmly moved on from the turmoil surrounding his younger brother. Despite persistent rumours that Harry is seeking to rebuild bridges, insiders claim the Prince of Wales has put the rift behind him and is focused on his future role as King.
The relationship between the brothers has remained strained since Harry and Meghan Markle stepped back from royal duties in 2020. Since then, Harry has been openly critical of the institution and his family through a series of high-profile interviews, a Netflix documentary series, and his best-selling memoir, Spare.

One of the most striking moments came during Harry’s 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, where he expressed sympathy for both his father, King Charles III, and Prince William, suggesting that they were “trapped” within the confines of the monarchy.
“I was trapped, but I didn’t know I was trapped. Trapped within the system like the rest of the family,” Harry said at the time. “My father and my brother are trapped. They don’t get to leave, and I have huge compassion for that.”
However, in a twist of fate, it now appears that Harry himself is perceived to be the one feeling confined by his circumstances. A source speaking to The Times highlighted the irony, suggesting that Prince William has successfully moved forward with his life while Harry remains stuck.
“How ironic that Harry is the one who feels trapped. What does he do? He doesn’t seem to have any more idea of what to do with himself now than when he left,” the source said.

Prince William, meanwhile, continues to focus on his royal duties and his growing family with Catherine, Princess of Wales. Sources close to the future King suggest that he has made peace with the estrangement and is not actively seeking to mend the relationship.
For Prince Harry, the sense of being “trapped” has shifted from a critique of the royal system to a personal reality in which he struggles to find his place outside of the monarchy. While some royal watchers hold out hope for a future reconciliation, the current signs indicate that the divide between the brothers remains deep — and may not heal anytime soon.
As William looks ahead to his eventual reign, Harry faces an uncertain path, still searching for purpose and resolution far from the institution he once called home.
