Prince Harry has kicked off but its crickets on the other side of the family, especially with Prince William. Some even suggest he might have even wanted to keep his head down on this day. In light of everything a well-placed source even decided to come forward and offer their point of view about what might be going on behind closed doors.

Reports suggest, William “is definitely sending Harry a message, loud and clear, that he’s not interested in reuniting or making nice right now.”

After all, despite it being Prince Harry’s 42nd birthday, “there’s been near zero contact between the brothers since the Sussexes returned to the UK, and that’s almost certainly the way it’s going to stay for the foreseeable future, birthdays or no birthdays.”

Hence “any hope Harry may have had of playing nice and using this personal milestone as a pathway [towards peace] has totally evaporated now he’s committed to this event, which will take him way out of London and hundreds of miles from his brother.”

For those unversed with the Duke’s actual birthday plans, its all going to be a private affair with Meghan Markle, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, to keep the circle small. This comes especially since, “for the people in both their worlds it’s no real surprise, given the extent of bad blood between the brothers right now.”
