Prince William has declined Prince Harry‘s offer to assist with royal duties, preferring to handle them on his own.
The royal family is currently facing challenges related to the health of King Charles III and the Princess of Wales, with the monarch undergoing treatment for a form of cancer following a procedure for an enlarged prostate.
On the other hand, the princess had abdominal surgery in January and is in recovery, leading to the cancellation of her engagements through March.
With two key working royals temporarily unavailable, there is a noticeable impact on the monarchy’s operations.
Despite Prince Harry offering to return to the U.K. and support with royal duties, Prince William has firmly rejected the idea, opting to manage all engagements independently rather than rely on his estranged brother.
In a recent interview during the promotional tour for his upcoming memoir “Spare,” Prince Harry addressed questions about the possibility of resuming royal duties.
He expressed skepticism about such a scenario, citing external forces that would hinder his return to royal responsibilities.
Despite the current circumstances involving his family, including his father’s health and sister-in-law’s recovery, Prince Harry’s return as a working royal seems unlikely based on previous arrangements.
Reports suggest that Prince William is resolute in his decision to carry out engagements solo and is not open to the idea of collaborating with Prince Harry.
While Prince Harry has shown willingness to support the family during challenging times, Prince William remains steadfast in handling his responsibilities independently, emphasizing the importance he places on fulfilling his duties during his family’s absence.
Sources close to the royal family reveal that Prince Charles holds animosity towards Prince Harry, feeling betrayed by his actions in recent public appearances and publications.
This sentiment extends to Prince William, who reportedly shares his father’s reluctance to involve Prince Harry in royal matters, reflecting the ongoing rift between the brothers following their fallout.
Despite the strained relations within the royal family, other working royals are available to support Prince William in managing engagements until King Charles and the Princess of Wales can resume their duties.
Queen Camilla, Princess Anne, Prince Edward, and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, are among those who can assist Prince William in maintaining the monarchy’s operations during this challenging period.
