“No Progress in Mending Fences”: Prince William and Prince Harry rift and future in 2025 predicted by expert
The strained relationship between Prince Harry and the Royal Family is expected to persist into 2025, according to royal expert Jennie Bond. Despite significant events and health challenges within the monarchy, reconciliation between the Duke of Sussex and his family appears unlikely.
Prince Harry, who resides in California with his wife Meghan Markle and their children, Archie and Lilibet, did not join the Royal Family for Christmas celebrations. Instead, the couple spent the holidays privately in the United States. “They had their own private Christmas thousands of miles away and hopefully they had a good time,” said Bond.
Back in the United Kingdom, King Charles and other senior royals publicly celebrated the holiday season, which garnered widespread public approval. Bond noted the stark contrast between the two celebrations, saying, “Meanwhile, our royal family put themselves on parade and consequently enjoyed a great deal of extremely positive public approval and publicity.”
The expert suggested that if Harry and Meghan had observed the positive response to the royal family’s activities, they might have felt reassured by the public’s support for the King and the Princess of Wales, Catherine, especially following their recent health battles. “If Harry and Meghan troubled to take note of the positive feedback around the royals here, they would probably have been happy that the King and Catherine were well enough to be out and about after their cancer diagnoses.
They are not heartless,” Bond remarked. However, the challenges facing Harry and Meghan extend beyond public perception. Bond highlighted the ongoing legal battle between Harry and the UK’s Home Office regarding security arrangements, which complicates King Charles’ position. “I don’t foresee any progress in mending fences with the King and William in the New Year.
The court case against the Home Office continues to put Charles in a very awkward position,” she told The Mail. As the new year unfolds, the chasm between Prince Harry and the Royal Family remains a focal point for royal watchers.
While the monarchy continues to adapt to changing circumstances, the possibility of a reconciliation between Harry and his family remains uncertain, leaving the public to wonder whether time and distance will ever bridge the divide.
