Representatives for both Harry and King Charles met privately in what has been described as a positive first move toward reconciliation. But one major figure was noticeably absent from these discussions, Prince William.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"440\" data-end=\"783\">Since William is the future King of England, many assumed he would play a central role in such an important matter. But he wasn\u2019t involved at all, and neither he nor his wife, Catherine, the Princess of Wales, sent a representative. This has led to growing speculation that the so-called peace talks may not be as straightforward as they seem.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"785\" data-end=\"1097\">According to a reported friend of the couple, William and Catherine were never invited to join the meeting. The source also said the couple is choosing to be extremely cautious about the whole situation. They suggested that William is sceptical, and that it\u2019s no accident he and Kate are staying at arm\u2019s length.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1099\" data-end=\"1522\">Adding to the tension is the fact that news of the secret meeting was somehow leaked to the press. Some within the royal circle suspect Harry and Meghan might have been involved, which only deepens the lack of trust. The Sussexes have been publicly critical of the royal family before, through interviews and Harry\u2019s comments about King Charles\u2019 health, which is part of the reason William is reportedly hesitant to reengage.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1524\" data-end=\"1795\">Sources close to Harry and Meghan insist that they are frustrated by the leaks and strongly deny being behind them. Still, for William, the damage may already be done. Insiders say he\u2019s so unwilling to revisit the drama that he won\u2019t even talk about Harry at all anymore.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1797\" data-end=\"2044\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">King Charles may be more open to reconciliation, but if any hope for healing between the brothers exists, it\u2019s going to take time and complete trust. If more private details keep getting made public, that fragile progress could quickly fall apart.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week, early steps were taken to repair the strained relationship between Prince Harry and the rest of the royal\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":81027,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[186],"tags":[6358,4265,2908],"class_list":["post-81026","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world","tag-king-charles","tag-prince-harry","tag-prince-william"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81026","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=81026"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81026\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/81027"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=81026"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=81026"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=81026"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
