Prince William rejects public appearance with Harry: Here's why

Prince William does not appear ready to attend any public event with his younger brother, Prince Harry, because he doesn't want to create a false media impression of royal reconciliation.

On Thursday, an insider told RadarOnline.com that the Prince of Wales remains deeply upset with Harry and Meghan Markle over their behavior toward the royal family.

"William's position is that Harry choosing to live in Britain again does not suddenly repair their relationship, and he isn't prepared to appear alongside him at engagements simply to create photographs suggesting otherwise," the insider told the outlet.

A royal expert further said, "He believes sharing a public platform would immediately be interpreted as evidence that everything between them had been resolved. From William's perspective, that would be completely false."

"Unless something changes substantially between them privately, he does not want to manufacture an image of reconciliation publicly," the source added.

For those unversed, Harry and Meghan touched down in England on Wednesday, August 26, with their children Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5.

The Sussexes moved to California in 2020 after stepping down from their duties as working members of the royal family.
