Why Prince William still won't mend things with Harry?

Royal brothers Prince William and Prince Harry's strained relationship hasn't changed after all these years.

Royal author Omid Scobie talked about Harry and William's long-running feud, saying that the Duke of Sussex has continued hope for a conversation with his elder brother but it is yet to happen.

Speaking with People Magazine, Omid said, "Harry was still waiting for that moment of accountability from his brother — an opportunity to talk about many of the grievances that have built up to this point and be able to move on from that."

Adding, "Nothing has changed. The expectations and wants and wishes of Prince Harry are exactly the same as they were then — and none of them have been met."

Prince Harry and Prince William's rift intensified after the Duke of Sussex and his wife Meghan Markle stepped away from the royal family and moved to United States.

However, insiders have claimed that Harry has made repeated attempts to reach out to William, but the Prince of Wales has avoided engaging with the situation.

"The ball has been in William’s court for some time now. And he’s chosen not just to knock it back, but to kick it in the other direction," the royal author stated. "I think in terms of family, it takes two, and I think we have seen some effort between Harry and his father go both ways.” In contrast, the Prince of Wales, according to Scobie, is “avoiding dealing with this matter whatsoever."

Omid also noted, "I hate to bring this back to William’s role, but as a future king, you would think that one of the things he should be able to navigate easily is family."

"One day, he’ll be the head of the royal family; he’ll be the head of the Church of England. There’ll be a lot of things that he stands for, or will seemingly stand for. And if he’s unable to mend a fracture — for all the reasons that we know are behind it — with his brother, I think that also says something about his as future monarch that may not work in his favour," he added.
