Prince William thinking about ‘longevity’ as he blocks Prince Harry from his life

Prince William will not forgive Prince Harry for a poignant reason.

The Prince of Wales, who is first in line to the British royal throne, wants to preserve the institution he will later inherit by curbing contact with his younger brother.

Royal expert Kinsey Schofield tells Page Six that William’s priority is “protecting the institution he’ll one day inherit”

She said: “In his mind, the issue has never been whether Harry is family; it’s whether Harry can be trusted. One afternoon at Highgrove doesn’t answer that question. King Charles can afford to think about legacy. Prince William has to think about longevity.”

The Duke of Sussex, who met King Charles alongside Meghan Markle and their two children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet this week, have caused anxiety in the Wales family.

An insider earlier told Closer Magazine: “Kate has never seen William this tormented, and it's breaking her heart because there's nothing she can really do. She says she feels as though she’s watching him melt down in front of her very eyes, and she’s helpless to stop it.”

‘He won’t admit it, but he's incredibly anxious about Harry and Meghan’s visit. He’s pacing around and on edge all the time and barely sleeping,” the source said.
