Prince William does not want Prince Harry to be a part of the future of the monarchy.

The Prince of Wales has seemingly persuaded his father, King Charles, to release the infamous letter reiterating Harry‘s position as a private citizen.

An insider tells Closer Online: “William was very instrumental in getting that letter out, he’s taking it as a big win, and it’s given him hope that his father might finally be seeing this more clearly.”

They note: “William is not going to stop pushing until the King agrees to take away their titles. He hates that he has to constantly raise the issue with his father; it’s caused a lot of strife between them, but if it means protecting the monarchy and protecting his father from making a colossal mistake, it’s worth it to William.’”

“When he’s got something in his sights, he won’t give up. Just look at the way he handled the issue with Andrew,” the insider says of William.
