Royal critics are skeptical of Prince William's recent attempts to give a "olive branch" to his estranged brother, Prince Harry.
Since Harry's departure from the Royal Family in 2020, their relationship has deteriorated under a barrage of public criticism thrown at the monarchy.
The hostility between the two was underscored during a family gathering at the burial of their late uncle, Lord Fellowes, earlier this summer, when the brothers allegedly did not say a word to each other.
Despite William's efforts to patch bridges, observers believe the schism between the two estranged siblings is as wide as ever.
In a remarkable moment during a recent ITV show about homelessness, Prince William acknowledged his estranged brother, Prince Harry, for the first time in years, sparking rumors of a possible reunion.
Many royal observers saw this comment as a potential "olive branch."
However, royal biographer Phil Dampier promptly denied such allegations, claiming that William's allusion to The Duke was just an homage to their shared childhood memories, notably those involving his mother, Princess Diana, and her humanitarian activities.
Dampier insisted, "It would have been a snub if he hadn't mentioned Harry." I don't view it as a significant breakthrough in their relationship, which is tragically as distant as ever."
He went on to say that Diana would be disappointed if her boys didn't work together on projects that were important to her.
