Prince Harry's memoir Spare, published in January 2023, exacerbated these tensions by sharing intimate and often unsavory details about the royal family. Since Charles was reported to have problems in February, the relationship between the king and his youngest son appears to have improved slightly. However, the agreement remains fragile and does not guarantee full reconciliation. On the other hand, the split with Prince William appears to be deeper. The brothers avoided seeing each other even when Harry visited the UK and contact between them was almost non-existent.

A recent event that illustrates this breakup is the announcement of Kate Middleton's problems, which Harry learned about through the media like everyone else. William did not see fit to inform his younger brother privately, thus increasing the distance between them. One of the main obstacles to reconciliation is the accumulated anger on both sides. Harry has publicly expressed his displeasure with the royal family for not fully supporting him and Meghan Markle. In response, the royal family, while maintaining some public secrecy, appears to have adopted an attitude of distrust towards Harry and his intentions.

The road to reconciliation still seems long and full of obstacles. The relationship between Harry and his royal family, especially William, was marked by deep pain and mutual distrust. Only time and perhaps exceptional circumstances will tell whether true reconciliation is possible. Lack of trust is at the heart of current tensions. Harry's memoir shares personal and private details that deeply impact family relationships. The public revelation of these private moments created an insurmountable barrier for Charles and William, who felt betrayed and vulnerable.

Since Harry's exile in America, Prince William has found valuable support in the person of Peter Phillips, his cousin five years his senior. According to Tatler, Peter became like a brother to William. Their relationship has gone from strength to strength, especially since Kate Middleton announced her big move where Peter has shown a constant presence and unwavering support. Their relationship dates back to their childhood, where they shared many moments together during holidays at Sandringham, Balmoral and Windsor. Peter Phillips even spoke about these memories during an appearance on Good Morning Britain.

The relationship between William and Peter is not new, it is built on years of complicity and moments shared as a family. Their closeness was evident at a garden party at Buckingham Palace on May 21, where they were said to be highly complicit. This strong friendship gave William the family support he needed in the absence of his younger brother. The mistrust and pain caused by Harry's sharing remain a major obstacle to reconciliation within the royal family. The road to a possible reconciliation between Henry, William and Charles still seemed long.
