Could Prince William reunite with brother Harry after King Charles?
King Charles hosted Prince Harry and his family at Highgrove House on July 10
Prince William has no intention of reconciling with Prince Harry as he is hesitant to trust his brother again.
A royal expert claims that the Prince of Wales understands his father King Charles's reunion with Harry, but he will never meet his estranged brother.
“Prince William probably understands why his father did it, even if he wouldn’t have done it himself,” a royal expert Kinsey Schofield told Page Six on Monday.
“He can appreciate that a father living with cancer wants to see his son and grandchildren, while still believing that Harry has not earned his way back into the family’s confidence," she continued.
Kinsey further told the outlet that Prince William's priority is “protecting the institution he’ll one day inherit.”
“In his mind, the issue has never been whether Harry is family; it’s whether Harry can be trusted,” she said.
“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 expert added.
For those unversed, the monarch hosted Harry, Meghan Markle and their children — Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5 — at Highgrove House on Friday, July 10.
Kinsey believes that although they have gotten back together, it doesn't erase the past.
“It doesn’t mean the Palace should forget everything that’s happened over the last six years,” she said. “A father can forgive. A monarch still has to protect the Crown. … One meeting is easy. Rebuilding trust is extraordinarily difficult."
