KEY POINTS

  • The Duke of Sussex and his brother Prince William have reconnected
  • Prince Harry and Prince William reportedly had a falling-out due to Meghan Markle
  • Prince William and Kate Middleton said they talk to all of their family members online amid the pandemic

Prince Harry and Prince William are reportedly back in touch after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex moved to the U.S.

In the past months, there were rumors that Princess Diana and Prince Charles’ sons had a falling-out. It reportedly started when Prince William advised his younger brother to take his time with his relationship with Meghan Markle.

Prince Harry was reportedly livid because he felt that Prince William was not supporting his decision. Since then, sources claimed their relationship has never recovered.

However, according to royal biographer Katie Nicholl, things have gotten better between Prince William and Prince Harry as they are communicating again while Prince Harry and his family are in the U.S. She added that their reconnection is very timely because the Duke of Sussex is feeling homesick while staying in L.A.

“There have been clearly some quite major rifts in that relationship, but things have got better and I know that William and Harry are in touch on the phone,” Nicholl told Entertainment Tonight.

“They have done video calls together, they have done a lot of family birthdays and I think with Prince Charles not being well, that really forced the brothers to pick up the phone and get back in touch.”

Nicholl said that Markle’s husband and Kate Middleton’s spouse actually started working on their relationship in February. Also, the alleged tension between the Duchess of Cambridge and Duchess of Sussex has already waned.

“I think there is a sense of relief on both sides that this high drama is now a thing of the past,” she continued.

“The Sussexes are free to get on with their new lives [and] the Cambridges can get back to their old lives without all the upset and drama that was clearly a big deal behind the scenes. I think Kate and William miss Harry and Meghan to a degree, but certainly they miss Harry [being] around and part of their lives.”

Meanwhile, Phil Dampier shared a different opinion. According to him, the tension between the two royal princes has only gotten worse especially after Prince Harry’s move to the United States.

However, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have also hinted that they are in contact with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. In a video call, the future King said that they have been talking to “all” of their family members online amid the pandemic.
