“The relationship between Harry and William is still very much one of distance. I don’t just mean physical [distance], across the Atlantic, but they are not talking that much, and that is exactly how sources close to William have put it,” Scobie told Entertainment Tonight. He added that the Duke of Cambridge is still upset with how the Sussexes left royal life. However, Scobie did note that when it truly matters for both the brothers and for the crown, the princes will be able to keep a stiff upper lip and carry on as needed. “Both sides are able to put everything to one side when it comes to focusing on the bigger, more important moments,” Scobie said, “whether that is, of course, remembering the life of Prince Philip, next year’s Royal Jubilee [or] most importantly to the brothers, remembering and honoring the life and legacy of their mother.” While there was hope that William and Harry would have let bygones be bygones after the funeral of their grandfather and the unveiling of the Princess Dianastatue, Scobie advises not to hold your breath for brotherly love. “Unfortunately, that has not led to any sort of bigger movement,” the writer said. “These are still two brothers who aren’t in regular communication, or in much communication at all, and I think they remain on these very different paths.” He continued, “They are very different men. And I think that William has certainly become someone who is really living his life for the crown, for the institution. Harry has really sort of gone completely in the opposite direction. They will never see eye to eye, and until both sides can acknowledge that, they will never move forward.” Scobie added that the brothers’ only conversations have been their brief, polite public exchanges, and that without a proper heart to heart, no progress will be made. In Harry and Meghan’s bombshell sitdown with Oprah Winfrey, the ginger prince alleged that Meghan and their son, Archie, were targets of racism from unnamed members of The Firm, and that William felt trapped in his role as heir to the throne. Harry also said that his father, Prince Charles, likely felt similarly — and that Charles had stopped taking his calls. In his update, Scobie said that Charles and Harry are cordial, but not close. He explained, “There are people who have grown up in an institution, that is all they know, they live the crown. So to try to understand someone that broke away from that is something that people are still struggling to come to terms. I think Harry, as he continues to thrive in his new life, has absolutely no regrets about the way in which he did it, or the decisions in which he made, and that does create this very big gap between the two sides.” Next, find out the truth about Harry and Meghan’s daughter Lilibet Diana’s birth certificate.
