Prince William ‘torn between healing relationship with Harry and shielding Kate from…

Prince William is in a difficult position as he’s “torn” between fixing his relationship with his brother and making sure he protects his wife from any undue stress, according to an expert.

The Prince of Wales has been estranged from Prince Harry for years. Their relationship started to crumble when the Duke of Sussex announced his decision to step down from the royal family and it worsened after Harry lashed out at William in his memoir, Spare.

Fans have been dreaming of a reunion between the pair, but royal expert Edward Coram-James doesn’t think it will happen. He suggested William will be too focused on taking care of Kate Middleton following her cancer diagnosis.

The Princess of Wales has been making a slow return to her public duties after completing her chemotherapy treatment. Speaking exclusively to The Mirror US, Coram-James said, “While there may be hope, the cracks between Harry and William run deeper than public perception often realizes.”

The expert explained, “The fallout from Harry’s criticisms of the royal family, especially in Spare and their Netflix docuseries, has left deep scars. William, in particular, might be too entrenched in his role as the future king to risk his reputation by reconciling too quickly.”

William is next in-line to the throne, following in the footsteps of his father King Charles. Coram-James also said there are trust issues between Harry and William, adding, “Harry’s public airing of royal family secrets can’t be undone.”

He then said, “Let’s not overlook the toll this rift might be taking on Kate. She’s in a delicate position as she manages her royal duties, family life, and her well-being. The constant media scrutiny, especially with the added weight of Harry’s revelations, can’t be easy on her health.”

Coram-James said this adds “another layer of complexity for William.” He explained, “As protective as he is of his family, it’s likely he feels torn between wanting to heal his relationship with Harry and shielding Kate from further stress.”

The royal expert did suggest one way Harry might be able to mend the relationship. “If Harry truly wants to rebuild bridges, he may need to acknowledge the emotional toll his actions have had on the whole family,” he told us.
