Why Prince William’s went silent during Harry, Meghan Markle’s Australia tour? Expert explains

There is a ‘good reason’ for Prince William’s ongoing silence while Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tour the Down Under and an expert has finally broken down the true meaning, and intention behind this great “wall of silence” he’s erected around himself.

The expert in question is British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard and she spoke to Fox News Digital about this. In her own words, this decision to ignore the “circus” that is the Sussexes’ faux royal tour is because the heir is simply “done with drama.”

In her eyes, “this feels like a permanent royal reset. But William’s silence isn’t a mystery. It’s a strategy.”

Similarly to her, expert Richard Fitzwilliams also chimed in during the same conversation and explained that its also because there is a lack of trust between the brothers now.

This is also precisely why Ms Chard’s earlier comments ring true as well because she feels it’s all because of this aspect of loyalty that people are seeing continued silence because “Prince William is known to take a harder line than some.” In her view, his actions prove he’s “setting his agenda” for the future of the monarchy. Plus “there’s a difference between being ruthless and holding people accountable,” she noted before adding “he’s fearless and has a strong moral character.”
