The Duke of Sussex, 36, is ready to admit he has made mistakes as he wants to repair the royal rift.
But a royal author has claimed that Meghan Markle is ‘sticking to his guns’ while Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, believes he has not done anything wrong.
Prince Harry and his brother William will stand shoulder to shoulder for the unveiling of their late mother Princess Diana’s statue on Thursday.
According to Daily Mail, the brothers have been separated by a rift that began in March 2019 when the Duke of Cambridge reportedly threw the Sussexes out of Kensington Palace due to the alleged bullying of royal staff.
These claims were written in Robert Lacey’s book Battle of Brothers, published before Meghan and Harry went on an interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Mr. Lacey said he believes that Harry is now ready to admit mistakes.
“On one side we’ve got William who doesn’t seem prepared to concede anything and on the other side friends have told me that Harry wouldn’t mind reconciling and then it’s Meghan who is sticking to her guns on this issue,” Mr. Lacey said.
“It should surely be possible for both sides to say the past is in the past. It’s very regrettable that Meghan doesn’t withdraw just a little. Why can’t she say it was the pressure? ‘I was getting used to this incredibly complicated system, I was just pregnant, I couldn’t sleep’….’Perhaps in retrospect I went over the top about it’.”
The author also claimed that the brothers will not heal their rift next month while Harry is ‘so under the thumb’ of the Duchess of Sussex.
“Harry is prepared to acknowledge the role that just sheer temper played at unfortunate moments—notably in the so-called blindsiding early in 2020. He actually is prepared to admit, in a way that William doesn’t seem to be,” he told Newsweek.
“It’s not as if Meghan’s employing any royal staff anymore, she’s living in a different country. It’s not a live issue so it would be good, it seems to me, if she could find a way of putting it to bed,” Mr. Lacey added.
