Royal Expert Reveals Prince William Has ‘No Room’ for Prince Harry Despite Birthday Well Wishes
Despite extending well wishes to Prince Harry on his 40th birthday, Prince William reportedly has no space in his heart for a true reconciliation with his younger brother, according to a royal expert. The strained relationship between the brothers has been a topic of much speculation, but a recent social media gesture from the Prince and Princess of Wales had some hoping for a Royal reunion.
However, royal expert Jennie Bond cautioned against interpreting the birthday greeting as an olive branch. Speaking to OK! Magazine, Bond claimed that while the public gesture was surprising, it shouldn’t be taken as a sign of deeper reconciliation between the brothers. “I still think things are too sensitive for a meaningful reconciliation with William, but the fact that he and Catherine authorized the greeting to be posted is definitely an unexpected turn of events,” Bond explained.

She went on to clarify that although the gesture was unexpected, it was unlikely to lead to a swift resolution of their differences. “I don’t think we should hold our breath for the step to really signal the start of a reconciliation, but it was an unexpected turn of events,” she added.
Bond emphasized that William, with his many royal responsibilities, may not have the time or emotional bandwidth to address the ongoing tensions with Harry. “William has so much on his plate at the moment that I don’t think he has room in his heart or head to deal with all that has gone on with Harry,” the expert remarked.
While the brothers’ relationship has been strained for years, Bond suggested that the future doesn’t have to be filled with bitterness. “While the brothers may never be close again, or even live on the same continent, it doesn’t mean that the future has to be full of bitterness and bad blood,” she explained, highlighting Catherine’s belief in the importance of family. “Catherine is right. Family should always be paramount.”
