WILLIAM WALKS OUT ‘I'M NOT READY TO FACE HARRY'

The future king isn’t willing to forgive his brother for attacking their family

As far as family reunions go, it doesn’t get more poignant than Prince Harry and the Duchess of Sussex returning to England to face the music at Windsor Castle.

Woman’s Day is told the couple’s 24-hour stopover – during which they met with the Queen, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall – on their way to the Netherlands had been locked in “for some months” and that the whole family had been informed of their plans.

So it was a surprise to palace advisors when Harry’s big brother Prince William curtly informed them he wouldn’t make himself available for the visit.

CAMBRIDGES GO OFF-PISTE

Instead, Wills, 39, and his wife, the Duchess of Cambridge, 40, were spotted skiing in France, returning to the UK mere hours after Harry, 37, and Meghan, 40, departed.

“This diary clash wasn’t an accident,” a source tells us. “William felt that while the Queen and his father might be ready to forgive Harry for all his recent attacks on the family, he himself is not even close to breaking bread with his brother. Wills made sure there was no chance of running into Harry and Meghan at Windsor Castle by skipping town.”
