Prince William has come to a ‘difficult’ realisation about his younger brother Harry, a royal expert has claimed.
The Duke of Sussex has been dealing with the catastrophic fall-out from his book Spare, next month. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have a strained relationship with the Royal Family and they are currently estranged from the Prince and Princess of Wales. Now royal author Tom Quinn claims that after all this time apart, William has had a great deal of thinking time and has come up with a sad conclusion. Quinn told The Mirror : "Increasingly as time goes on William realises he really doesn’t need Harry any more – he feels Harry has been the complete opposite of a supporting younger brother and everything he does makes William‘s life more difficult.
"Harry is also a reminder of past trauma and upset which William sees as very damaging to the monarchy and anything that damages the monarchy damages William’s future and that of his heir Prince George." Despite the past hurt, it has not stopped Prince William trying to be a big brother to Harry as much as possible. Prince William and Princess Kate are trying their best to end their feud with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, according to a source.

Quinn previously claimed William and Kate have tried to fix this, but reckons Meghan is not ready to let things go. Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, Tom said: "There has been a shift here since Kate’s illness – Harry and Meghan do feel they need to extend an olive branch, but Meghan’s sense of grievance is still preventing anything really meaningful happening. Illness often brings warring family members together, and there have been hopes at Kensington Palace that Kate’s illness might do it. Harry would like a reconciliation, but supports his wife completely and until she feels that the Royal family have been sufficiently nice to her – and grovelingly apologised for the past - it’s not going to happen.”

Just days ago, Tom opened up about the lengths Prince William and Kate were willing to go to mend their relationship with the Sussexes. He claims the couple have reached out to Meghan and Harry and urged them to bring their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, to the UK to visit. However, it's believed Meghan has refused.
Tom told us: "There is no way Meghan would bring the children to the UK. William and Kate have suggested that Meghan and Harry bring the children and that the two couples and their families try to make up, but the suggestion is not leading anywhere so far." Meghan and Harry are not close with William and Kate and the Sussexes hit out at their family members in their Netflix docuseries, as well as their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey. Harry also made a number of accusations about his brother and sister-in-law in his debut memoir Spare.
In the book, the Duke of Sussex opened up about an explosive row he had with William, during which the Prince of Wales allegedly called Harry's wife Meghan "difficult", "rude" and "abrasive". Harry claims his brother then "grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and he knocked me to the floor". The Mirror has contacted Prince William's representatives for comment.
