Prince William not keen on mending relationship with brother Harry

Despite the recent reunion of King Charles III with his son Prince Harry and grandchildren at Highgrove House, Prince William is not planning to mend his strained relationship with Harry.

Royal expert Kinsey Schofield told Page Six that while William understands his father's decision to reconnect, he believes Harry has not yet earned a place back in the family's confidence.

'Prince William has to think about longevity'

Schofield emphasized that William's primary concern is "protecting the institution he'll one day inherit."

She said, "In his mind, the issue has never been whether Harry is family; it's whether Harry can be trusted."

"One afternoon at Highgrove doesn't answer that question. King Charles can afford to think about legacy. Prince William has to think about longevity."

'Rebuilding trust is extraordinarily difficult'

Last week, Buckingham Palace confirmed that Charles and Queen Camilla welcomed Harry, Meghan Markle, and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, at Highgrove House.

This was the first time in four years that Charles met his grandchildren.

However, Schofield cautioned this reunion doesn't erase past grievances.

She said, "A father can forgive. A monarch still has to protect the Crown... One meeting is easy. Rebuilding trust is extraordinarily difficult."
