KEY POINTS

  • Prince William and Prince Harry's relationship will continue to be frosty
  • Prince William and Prince Harry barely spoke to each other at their joint royal engagement
  • Prince William and Prince Harry are still on different paths

Prince William and Prince Harry’s relationship will continue to be distant after the latter’s departure from the royal family.

While speaking with Express, royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams said that the royal siblings’ frosty relationship during their recent reunion proved that their relationship will continue to be distant in the near future.

“Relations between the Cambridges and Sussexes seemed frosty. William and Harry are on different paths. They always have had different futures but after the way the Sussexes have handled their exit relations, if yesterday is any indication, are likely to be distant,” he said.

Meanwhile, a lip reader revealed the brief conversation that Prince William and Prince Harry had with each other during the Commonwealth Day Service last week.

While speaking on “This Morning,” royal commentator Camilla Tominey said that when Prince Harry sat down, he simply said hello to his wife and that was it.

“We don’t know whether he was referring to William or dignitaries he had just been getting including Boris Johnson. When William sat down, he turned to Kate and said, ‘This whole handshaking thing is weird. We’re going to have to put a load of hand gel on after this.’ Harry’s full quote which he is claimed to have said to Meghan was: ‘He literally said: ‘Hello, Harry’ and that was it and he didn’t say anything more than that,” Tominey said.

Prince William’s handshake comment reportedly related to the ban on greeting people due to the coronavirus outbreak. But presenter Phillip Schofield was in shock as Holly Willoughby said that he doesn’t think that’s what happened.

“In the actual abbey, there wasn’t much brotherly-ness going on because they didn’t really have much of a conversation going on. It was quite obvious when you were looking,” Tominey said.

Prince William and Prince Harry have not spoken to each other in months. There are reports that the future king was upset over the way he found out about Prince Harry and Markle’s Megxit.
