Amid their continued strained ties with the royal family, sources have suggested that Prince William will take a “much harder line” with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle when he becomes king.

William and his brother haven’t been on speaking terms, particularly after the duke made several damaging accusations against the royal family following his exit from the firm and relocation to the U.S.

Prince Harry and William’s father, King Charles, reportedly wants them to settle and is said to have launched secret plans to bring the quest to fruition.

Prince William To Take A ‘Much Harder Line’ With Harry

William will reportedly not take things lightly with his estranged brother, Harry, and his wife, Meghan.

Reports have earlier claimed that the Duke of Sussex has reached out to his elder brother but heard nothing back, meaning they’ve not been able to settle their long-running feud, with sources even suggesting William is “done with the drama.”

Now, royal experts have claimed that the future king will take a “much harder line” against his brother and sister-in-law, who have continued to use their royal titles to make money and promote a “faux royal” lifestyle.

“William will take a much harder line with Harry and Meghan when he’s king,” the insider told the Daily Mail.

Although the nature of such a hardline stance wasn’t discussed, many members of the royal family have reportedly raised eyebrows over how the Montecito-based couple continues to pose as royals despite dropping their working roles since 2020.

The Future King’s Silence Is Said To Be ‘A Strategy’

William has grown famous for his no-nonsense approach to duty, even distancing himself from disgraced uncle Andrew following reports of his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

With his brother, things will likely not change even as the duke prepares for a trip to the UK for an Invictus Games event this summer.

In a chat with Fox News Digital, royal expert Helena Chard explained that the Prince of Wales is willfully “ignoring the circus” and is “done with the drama.”

When Harry last visited the UK to check on his father after getting wind of his cancer diagnosis, both brothers still didn’t meet, nor did they talk, as William continues to build a “wall of silence” between them.

“This feels like a permanent royal reset,” Chard shared. “But William’s silence isn’t a mystery. It’s a strategy.”

“William regards his brother as totally untrustworthy,” royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams also told the news outlet.

King Charles Taps Aide To Help Bring The Brothers Back Together

Meanwhile, Charles is reportedly keen to see Harry and Willian reunited and has set a secret plan in motion to actualize this goal.

Reports suggest the monarch is deeply troubled by their rift and has made it “mission number one” for his newest aide, Theo Rycroft, to bring them back together and mend their strained relationship.

Although Rycroft only joined the firm earlier this year, reports claim he has earned the trust of the monarch and is described as a calm operator who’s highly skilled in very sensitive situations.

King Charles’ Aide Plans To Set Up A Meeting Between Prince Harry And William During The Duke’s Invictus Games In The UK

According to the Daily Mail, Rycroft is hoping to kick off actions when Harry lands in the country in July for his Invictus Games event, and would first set up a meeting between him and Charles before encouraging William to join them.

Sources close to Rycroft say he believes the situation is “f-cking ridiculous” and is dead set on “urgently” resolving the issue for Charles’ sake.

“He thinks it’s time to knock their heads together,” the insider said. “Theo’s a very reasonable guy and incredibly nice, and he completely gets that this is a source of great pain to the king and wants to help him resolve it. He sees his job as helping the king resolve it.”

Prince William And King Charles Are Reportedly Clashing Over Harry

It remains to be seen how things will go, as there are still talks of how the king is being careful and doesn’t want to double-cross his eldest son.

Sources told Heat World in April that William remains adamant on not extending an olive branch to Harry, even though his father has taken a much more forgiving outlook on his younger son’s past missteps.

“Charles is at the point where he wants to forgive Harry and find a path forward, but William simply won’t hear of it, no matter what his father says,” an insider said.

“It’s becoming a huge battle because William has a ton of influence behind the scenes, and the fact is that many people within The Firm agree that Harry and Meghan are poison, so Charles doesn’t have a lot of support for bringing them back in,” they continued.

The situation with Harry’s security is said to also be causing some clash between Charles and William, who think the duke is getting “what he deserves.”
