Prince William takes up arms: ‘He’s tried forcing himself to make nice before and it was unbearable’

Prince Harry’s return to the UK is rumored to have done more harm than good, and Prince William is over it.

the whole thing comes straight from a well-placed insider that is well versed in the Firm’s family matters.

According to Heat World they got candid pretty fast and said, “William is still very angry,” at the whole situation.

“The fact that his brother is back and getting all sorts of special attention has left him completely stunned; he feels like everyone suddenly has amnesia,” the insider also said during their chat.

Moreover, he is also said to be ‘over it’ all and the source’s own words explained this rather candidly.

Reportedly, “he’s vowing that he won’t be taken in by Harry and Meghan’s manipulations and says he plans to stay as far away from them as possible.”

As it stands they also say, “he says he’s tried forcing himself to make nice before and it was unbearable.”

“He always goes back to that terribly painful walkabout the four of them had to do together after the Queen’s death. He hated every second of it and was thunder-faced the entire time, and that was before Harry released his memoir and everything deteriorated even further.”

But thats not even the worst part, because Christmas is around the corner and if Prince Harry’s family make the guest list there’s said to be a high chance that the Windsors’ will wind up staging a boycott.

As for why, they say its because William “feels like they lost that privilege with all their despicable behaviour, and he’s saying he will opt out of attending anything they are invited to, rather than have to put on some phoney act.”

Before signing off the insider also said, “people are telling him that he needs to swallow his pride and give this a chance, but he’s adamant that he’d rather spend Christmas alone than face those two across the table. There are still plenty of people hoping that William will be persuaded to turn the other cheek for his father’s sake, but at the moment he isn’t budging.”
