Prince William will never forget extra pressure created by Harry’s exit

Prince William will not be able to forgive Prince Harry for years of neglect.

The Prince of Wales, who is not on speaking terms with his younger brother, is upset over the extra pressure that was added to his job role after Harry’s exit as a senior royal back in 2020.

Speaking on The Royals podcast, host Roya Nikkhah said: "The extra pressure that Harry and Meghan, and their family, stepping away from it has put on William's own family is something I've always been told is something that he'll find impossible to forgive."

Meanwhile, Journalist Jeremy Griffin replied: "That's very interesting but I do think the danger here is that William is going to be King one day and it's probably going to be sooner than he anticipated because the King isn't very well. My fear for William and his reign is that Harry will become his Andrew."

He noted: "That's why I think it's really important that this relationship is repaired. A lot of it goes back to what Harry expects of course. If all he's asking for is 'fraternal repair' if you like, then I get that and I think William should do something to help.
