Following Prince Philip’s funeral at Windsor Castle in April 2021, King Charles stood between his warring sons in the gardens of Frogmore House and uttered a heartfelt plea. ‘Please boys. Don’t make my final years a misery.’
The fact that we only know about that painful and highly personal event through the pages of Prince Harry’s excruciating autobiography, Spare, perhaps explains why three years on nothing has changed.
It may have been the King’s recent cancer diagnosis that prompted his impulsive younger son to jump on a plane for an 11,000-mile round trip to see his father face-to-face for the first time in 17 months, since the late Queen’s funeral.
But Prince William made it clear that he had ‘no plans’ to see his brother during his whistle-stop, 24-hour visit to the UK.
Raw emotion, hurt, disappointment and betrayal have fanned the flames on both sides of the new War of the Windsors.
But with their father undergoing cancer treatment, the onus now perhaps falls upon the brothers to bury the fraternal hatchet.
Courtiers privately speculate that William will have to swallow his pride for the sake of both his family and the nation. Certainly his father would love to see his ‘darling boys’ makeup.
