Prince William, who has been separated from his younger brother Prince Harry for years, issued a surprise cry for reconciliation.
The Prince of Wales is said to be still bitter of his brother for the charges he made about the royal family in his explosive memoir Spare, published in January 2023. The brothers haven't talked since.
However, there was a period when William hoped to soothe tensions between him and Harry, only days before a big and somber event in the royal family and for the monarchy occurred.
Harry and Meghan, who resigned down from their top royal responsibilities in 2020 and relocated to the United States, were in the UK when Queen Elizabeth died in September 2022.
The Prince of Wales texted Harry and Meghan, inviting them to join him and Kate Middleton for a walkabout in Windsor to admire flower tributes left for the late Queen.
According to a source cited by the Daily Mail, the reunion was "last-minute" and "happened very quickly" when the family was grieving their mother.
While William was eager to negotiate a truce at the time, a recent Heat Magazine story indicated that the father of three was "utterly disgusted by the scale of Harry's betrayal".
The future king has turned down countless opportunities to speak with his brother because he doubts Harry's devotion towards his family.
The insider informed the magazine that William is aware that his brother is "lonely" and "clearly lost" in his US life, which "saddens" him. He is nevertheless "not being swayed by tales of Harry's loneliness or half-baked olive branches that come his way every so often from Montecito" .
