Prince William is preparing to take the throne one day, and it looks like plans for his coronation are already underway. But there’s one person who probably won’t get an invite — his brother, Prince Harry.
Even though King Charles invited Harry to his own coronation despite their ongoing feud, William doesn’t seem interested in making peace, especially after Harry’s recent interview with the BBC.
A source close to William told Page Six, “I think it’s done…I don’t think there’s [any] coming back from that. Before the interview, we thought, ‘Come on William, extend a hand to your brother.’ But now it seems that Harry hasn’t learned s–t.”
Royal expert Hugo Vickers notes that “theoretically” William should invite Harry to his coronation, but adds, “But quite frankly he can do what he likes. It is not set in stone. The Duke of Windsor was not invited to [his niece Queen Elizabeth’s] coronation in 1953. There was a lot of discussion about it.”
At the same time, a source says Prince William “won’t” take away Meghan and Harry’s titles, despite rumors suggesting otherwise. Hugo agrees, saying, “We know that William is unforgiving anyway. But…he won’t strip Harry and Meghan of their titles, it appears vindictive.”
Despite the tensions, Harry appears hopeful for reconciliation, telling the BBC, “I would love reconciliation with my family. There’s no point continuing to fight any more, life is precious.”
