The last time Prince Harry and Prince William were in the same room at the same time, it was Commonwealth Day in March, and Harry looked like he was about to punch somebody. It was widely believed that William and Harry had gotten into another fight regarding the Commonwealth optics and arrangements, and Harry seemed especially upset. When Harry and Meghan finally got to Canada after their “revenge tour” in the UK in March, they seemed super-relaxed and happy. Then they made their way to LA and the few times we’ve seen them, they also seem very relaxed and lowkey. My point is that Harry has walked away, knowing that he gave the Windsors a chance to make good and they failed. So he cut his losses and doesn’t give a f–k anymore. But to hear Katie Nicholl and The Sun’s Becky Pemberton tell it, Harry and William are connecting regularly via Zoom. This is all to paint Harry as some kind of sad sack in LA, missing his “real home” I suppose.
Prince William and Prince Harry may be locked down on other sides of the pond but the royal brothers are said to be keeping in touch via Zoom chat. Once the Cambridge children have gone to bed and he’s had dinner with Kate, Prince William has been phoning Harry at his lunchtime, according to a source.
A source told Fabulous: “William finds Zoom a good, informal way of keeping in touch, and some would say ‘tabs’, on his younger brother. There have been several zoom calls. It’s easy to set up and involves no awkward scheduling. After the children have gone to bed and supper with Kate. It has been only William and Harry. It is around lunchtime in LA. These calls are made from Anmer’s private sitting room. It’s not the room that Kate and William use for their public zoom sessions.”
A friend close to the brothers said: “William is very anxious to keep the calls low key and casual. Just two brothers have a chat. No-one else is involved. It takes the pressure off. There is nothing formal about these zoom sessions. It’s about keeping in touch that’s important. Harry has spoken on Zoom to the Queen as well.”
Maybe I’m completely off-side and I’m reading the situation wrong, but it would SHOCK me if Harry and William have Zoom’d more than two or three times over the past three months. I could see it happening when Charles was diagnosed with coronavirus, and maybe once or twice to check in on Charles and the family’s health in a general way, but other than that… I just don’t see it. I honestly and truly believe that Harry made sure to walk away “clean,” you know? He gave them a chance. They didn’t take it. They leaked sh-t about him, they smeared and abused his wife and then blamed H&M for not sticking around to be their punching bags. All that being said, it honestly feels like William is the one who wants this story out there, that the brothers are constantly in contact, that William is basically doing lowkey negotiations with his errant brother.

I guess that is why he ignored them at the Commonwealth event. They didn’t have much to say since they keep in touch so often.
Nailed it lol
you guys are good; you are so right; this is a Bazinga type comment!!!! love it
COTW!!!
LMAO!
Oh, I see that we have a new episode in the KP/Sun fanfiction LOL
Yeah ‘cause the one starting Liza Minnelli was cancelled real quick 😂
I know right! She didn’t waste time calling them out on that 🤣
Yeah, that Liza rumor blew up in their faces so bad, I almost got 2nd hand embarrassment.😬
So of course they had to regurgitate their go to fiction Re: the bros are talking to each other.🙄
Wait, what was the Liza rumor?
He knows he came out of Sussexit looking like a grade A asshole and is trying to clean up that image. Nothing more. I genuinely don’t think he sees Harry as anything other than a
tool to use at his disposal. Harry looked ready to fight at the CW ceremony so I don’t believe him and William ate talking regularly at all.
After that Commercial Jet PR stunt to put down Harry, I doubt Harry had much to say to William if anything at all.
With you on that one! They may be talking to Charles but not William.
It’s so damn obvious.🙄🙄
This is like the 100th story of William reaching out to Harry.
All pushed to make Wont appear a kind, benevolent & mature brother.
Whew! Willy boy is never ever going to leave his brother alone. Because while Harry can and will flourish away from his abusive brother, William is doomed to crash and burn without Harry around to carry him!!
And yet, dumbf@ck never stopped to think about what he would lose when he was fighting so hard to exile his little brother. Oh well!🤷🏾♀️
Karma, is a beautiful lady!
All of the emphasis on how “casual” the calls are, how he does them just by himself, without a bunch of courtiers there to back him up, how it’s so easy and doesn’t take a lot of “awkward scheduling,” how he does it in the drawing room, a totally different room than where we does “work zooms,” just really emphasizes how estranged they must be and how rare it is for them to actually speak like brothers. All this insisting that it’s so casual, so normal, so regular shows us that their relationship has been so strained and formal that William has to tell us how “normal” and “brotherly” these zooms are. They are not a good family. They are not a normal family. They are all strained and estranged coworkers who have to literally send out a press release to tell us that they’ve spoken to each other in a “casual” way because they do that so seldom that it has to be explicitly spelled out for us to get it.
Just like the big announcement they visited Frogmore Cottage to see Archie. Normal families just visit w/o all the fanfare!
Thye’re trying to say there are no witnesses to these calls so no one can say they do not happen at all, like we all think they don’t!
This is straight up fiction writing with all this mood and setting for Will’s supposed calls. They forgot to add that Kate’s in her bedroom binge-watching Suits on her laptop. Will probably does get set up all private-like in the sitting room trying to dial up Harry because he needs to feed the Wooten. Maybe one of these times Harry will answer. Nevertheless, Will will keep trying to lull Harry into having a brotherly chat, just like reporters cozy up to their sources, in order to get what he needs.
And this source sounds like Carole.
Exactly!
Every time I see this picture of Karen & Kevin Keen Kensington on the Buck House balcony I think: Why Rose? Why? Your husband has a very distinguished European look, wears uniforms very well and has full head of thick salt-n-pepper hair. Why would you want a penis with teeth who looks like shit in a uniform?
‘Feed the Wooten’ is now my new favorite phrase and shall be liberally deployed henceforth. It brings up this image of Audrey II, all “FEED MEH!!!”. Perfect.
I doubt they have Zoomed or spoken on the phone. They’ve seen how untrustworthy WilliLeaks is. For all they know, he’d record the Zoom or the phone call and release parts of it.
Exactly. My sister is a total a-hole just like Wills, and she does to me exactly what he does to Harry. I haven’t spoken to her in months during the lockdown, and am not planning on it. Some people have trouble understanding when people cut off their families, but it happens, and I am sure Harry is healthier and happier because of it.
Good for you. Snazzy. Cutting off toxic people is hard. Plus they can be so manipulative they make you look like the bad guy. Glad you are protecting yourself.
Oh my gosh- same. It was a tough decision to cut off my family but I did it. I’m happy and thriving so I totally believe (hope) Harry and Meghan are doing the same. They aren’t looking back but Wills definitely is.
Even if William didn’t leak like a sieve, Zoom is a notoriously unsecure app. I doubt any member of the royal family, and especially the Sussexes, would use it for their private communications. That’s just begging for the British press to hack them again.
Great point!
I hate the narrative that William who is 2 years older than Harry needs to keep tabs on him. That’s not happening. Harry is happily married with a young child whom he seem actively involved in raising and not disappearing for months.
The keeping tabs part is what the RRs are hoping would happen, so free Willy will have new Sussex info to feed them! That’s the #1 reason why we know Harry ain’t talking to little willy! He knows Willy was/is the main force behind the direct attacks on his wife and child!
That is what I came here to say.
Harry is the one with a successful career away from the firm, 10 years in the military. Will finished university and spent his time vacationing with Kate until they got married. He had a pt job as helicopter co-pilot cause he was just as lazy then and didn’t want to put in the time to be a pilot.
Still pushing Harry is fragile.
I don’t think these two will ever be the same again. William always HAS to look like the brother that has it all together and is perfect and Harry HAS to look like he is lost and can’t find his way. William is a horrible person and I hope he stays far away from Harry and his family. It’s clear William hates that he is seen as an awful brother and is trying to change that narrative. We don’t buy it. Harry is better off without him.
“A source”, lol LOLOLOLLOL!!!
I mean, it may be true that Will is sending him texts, but that doesn’t mean he is getting a response. 😏
Considering House Sussex has flat out said they would not communicate with certain publications and only give information through authorized statements, it’s safe to say this story is the product of someone’s fevered dream.
Theirs is not a normal family. Cain has probably been jealous of his brother right from childhood. Despite being considered the more intellectual, he sadly has zero appeal and lacks the common touch, something Diana had in spades. Give it up Cain, you tried to destroy your brother and his family just like your dad tried to destroy your mother. You are a true Windsor.
When it comes out of Harry’s mouth, then I’ll believe this rubbish. William needs to go back to his Rose Garden and stop riding off his little brother’s back. He looks desperate.
William keeping tabs on Harry? Sounds legit to me. William every night calling on Harry to chat? Fanfiction.
Note that Kate is now part of the narrative-Will makes sure she is not on the same room when he stalks his brother.
Because they live separately? Because he setting her up for a fall/divorce?
Time will tell.
Kate and Carole are being subtly thrown under a bus lately. Will goes bonkers and threatens to sue, just to get the story blown out of proportion and onto his face. After that, Kate narrative has been shifting: blaming Meghan, a woman who is not even there anymore, is not working as before. Will does not want anyone overshadowing him, and since he is lazy and kate, lazier, she has been perfect. She makes a point of working even less than he is.
But he is the heir and she has already given him 2 sons and a daughter. He is hitting middle age in front of our eyes. If this whole facade of ” normal Bill, normal Kate and their normal family” is no loner able to keep the Royal Rota at Bay and the peasants, satified, why would Will want to keep her?
Only his lazyiness would save kate in this case, but she is utterly expandable as it is.
His laziness constantly battles his ego. Kate’s unprofessionalism is an embarrassment to him and he knows it. If he could make a new image for himself with a new wife, claiming he was manipulated by Kate and her family into marriage, he’d do it.
The way they describe Zoom has strong “How Do You Do, Fellow Kids?” vibes.
Hahaha! I totally see that!
For some reason this story makes me laugh. People understand phones are still a thing, right? Harry and William could be keeping in touch regularly via….cell phone and email and texting with FaceTime or zoom or whatever once a week.* Why does everything have to be a zoom call at this point?!?
Also the specifics around this are so weird -its like they are going out of their way to make sure people understand this is a PRIVATE zoom call and not at all like the ones he does for WORK. Even a different sitting room, gasp!!!!!
*please note I do not think they are keeping in touch regularly. I think William and Kate are a big reason why Harry is in LA right now and not the UK.
Given how many times they repeat the name, it comes across as an advertisement for Zoom to me! Considering the security flaws Zoom apparently has, I question whether even if the brothers were doing video calls, they would use Zoom for it — Britain’s intelligence services have told government & politicians not to use it for anything confidential, only public calls. So charity calls would be okay, but private calls are inadvisable, especially given Harry’s experience with phone hacks.
Very true. And “zoom chat” at that? there are way easier and more secure systems to use, whether you are keeping tabs or just casually reminding your only sibling about how they ruined your ability to be a good parent by escaping a racist environment.
Seems more like the reporter just learned what zoom is and is eager to drop in a hint of cultural relevance. And why so eager to emphasize the “informal nature” of the calls? I notice this a lot in the “just like us” stories about KP, in that it becomes clear that both they and the person writing the story haven’t a clue how normal humans, let alone people, work.
Do we think this is a ploy to get Harry to deny that they have spoken?
And/or does it mean Harry didn’t give his big brother his new American phone number? Lol.
“Also the specifics around this are so weird -its like they are going out of their way to make sure people understand this is a PRIVATE zoom call and not at all like the ones he does for WORK. Even a different sitting room, gasp!!!!!”
@Becks1 – The British media really are lousy fan-fiction writers.
Maybe that’s just what he tells Kate when he wants alone time to have a dirty phonecall with Rose. I highly doubt Harry is answering his calls on a regular basis, if at all.
Nope, I don’t believe William & Harry have been Zooming. William wants this story out there because of everything that has come out in the past 2 weeks. People know his house was actively collaborating with the tabs to smear and abuse Harry & Meghan. He’s trying to ignore all of that by pretending the brothers are mending fences. That isn’t happening. Harry hasn’t forgotten or forgave. If Harry is talking regularly to anyone in that family, it’s Charles and only Charles.
Helps to distract from the Foundation not releasing their annual report or financials.
Do they really think anyone believes this? The last time “the Fab Four” were publicly in the same space for any length of time, Harry looked as if he was spoiling for a fight, just waiting for W&K to say something so he and William could get into it on the church floor. William barely acknoledged H&M, Kate blatantly ignored them and Meghan and Edward just tried to have a pleasant conversation. I do think Harry is over the proforma “perfect family” image and just wants to build a life with Meghan, Archie and any additional children. William needs Harry to be the wayward brother he brings back into the fold to show what a great leader he can be and to bolster his image. Harry doesn’t need William right now and hopefully will be fully financially independent by the time William becomes PoW and controls the Duchy pursestrings. I think they have been in touch as siblings during a crisis are and that Harry has been in touch with his father and grandmother, but only as a concerned family member, not as a member of the BRF negotiating his way back into duties.
William: Hey, Harry. How’s it going, bro? How’s the old ball and chain?
Harry: New phone, who dis?
As long as Christian Jones is still on the KP payroll, I don’t see how any communication is happening between the brothers. The fact that KP didn’t at least announce an inquiry into the allegations doesn’t bode well for any mending of fences. I think they are done, period.
Yes total silence on Christian Jones. And Camilla Tominey had a story about Simon Case and basically confirmed that he helped set up the photo op flyby stunt. Harry of course knew this months before the rest of us did.
Someone should just make an animation of William with a giant head and put him in the Everyday I’m shuffling video but call it Everyday I’m Zooming.
William is obsessed with Harry. He needs to focus on his own life. He has a wife he constantly cheats on and kids be barely has time to see (his words). Let Harry live his own life.
Same way BM is obsessed with Duchess Meghan. Just crazy.
Why does William rarely see the kids? I know he’s not busy doing charity and stuff.
The liza manelli rumour had to be cancel because liza responded to the lie.
Harry will not respond so they think it is safe to use this lie.
I dont think will know how to use zoom anyway without someone setting it for him as the rumour said no one in the room during the zoom. So this is a lie. Yes, i do think will is stupid to operate the zoom. Sue me.
No but guys, William HAS dinner with Catherine, like every night, before putting the kids in bed!! Not room for other things to do ~cough rosebushtrimming cough~ but zoom Harry!!
The media and The Cambridges, desperately want The Sussexes back, so they can mine for more stories for the wretched papers. William is the one putting the stories out there, so he could look good., and appear as the caring brother. Too late. IHe probably wants to get close again to Harry, so he can pass on info to the media. Harry is doing well, with his beautiful scrumptious wife and cuddly baby, thank you very much.
I don’t think anyone actually believes this happens. What would they talk about? William leaks like a sieve and what would they talk about, “ Hi Wills, have the kids recovered from being thrown under the bus by me and Meghan?” This is such a transparently self serving article.
“ Hi Wills, have the kids recovered from being thrown under the bus by me and Meghan?” This is such a transparently self serving article.
LMAO!!! So true.
It was all very clear at the Commonwealth Service. I watched the Service live. Unless you are au fait with these things it might not be obvious that the processing in was significantly altered from previous years and altered in a way that was demeaning to Harry and Meghan.
The usual way with these things is that the royals arrive at the Abbey in reverse order of precedence (position in line of succession) with the Queen arriving last. After the greetings the royal party lines up in order behind the Queen and they are led in formal procession to their assigned seats. The order would be Charles with Camilla, followed by William with Kate, Harry with Meghan and finally Edward with Sophie.
This year it was decided that Harry and Meghan would not be in the Queen’s procession and instead would be shown to their seats beforehand. Edward and Sophie also had to be left out because Edward is behind Harry in the line of succession. The printed Order of Service reflected this, noting that the Earl and Countess of Wessex would arrive, be greeted and escorted to their seats, followed by the same process for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The Queen’s Procession would then assemble, including the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. In the event the Cambridges did not take part in the Queen’s Procession and were shown to their seats after Harry and Meghan. This change was commented on in the live broadcast.
According to reports the Sussexes were not aware until that morning that they were excluded from the procession. Harry was reportedly very upset and there were angry phone calls. It was then arranged that William and Kate would also be shown to their seats before the Queen’s procession. Probably to avoid Harry and Meghan boycotting the event. It WAS intended as an insult to Harry and Meghan. There is no other explanation. The usual ignorant dailymail comments included complaints about the Sussexes ‘pushing past’ the Wessexes and taking ‘more important’ seats. The reality is that the seats are assigned to reflect precedence and the Wessexes had to stand up and move aside to let Harry and Meghan through. It looked awkward but this would have been avoided if they had followed the usual practice and processed in together.
It was notable that Prince Edward was very friendly to Meghan, engaging her in conversation and drawing Harry in both before and after the Cambridges arrived. Sophie also chatted to Meghan. A lot of this was cut out of the video. Their seats were widely spaced, five in the front row for the Queen, Charles, Camilla, William and Kate and four behind for the Sussexes and Wessexes. Dailymail comments reflected the assumption that Sophie ignored Meghan and Harry but was friendly to Kate. This wasn’t true. It was simply too much of a stretch. It was obvious however that William barely acknowledged Harry and Meghan.
The pictures as they are leaving show that Harry’s glare is directed at the Queen.
There’s no way the Sussexes knew they weren’t part of the procession until that morning. It was reported a few days prior, so they definitely knew. They might not have liked it, but they knew about it. My personal opinion was that they were okay with it because it would avoid the body language analysis of them waiting around with W&K for the Queen to arrive. But then when W&K were cut from the procession that morning (after the programs were printed), we got the body language analysis anyway.
I don’t know if Harry complained to the Queen about the procession, or if someone realized how bad it would look to have them not in it while the Cambridges were, or if Charles put his foot down (notice Meghan gave a big smile to Charles when he arrived), but whatever the reason, I think that was why Kate was so salty that day.
Whatever happened that day Kate looked like a huge bitch and blew off Harry and Meghan. She revealed her mask in public and really the rest of her passive aggressive behaviour for months prior to this fell into place. Starting with her sour fact at Harry and Meghan’s wedding.
I think the Sussex’s always knew they weren’t going to be in the procession but the Cambridge’s were suppose to be. Only the Cambridge’s names were printed in the program prior to the event saying they were going to walk the procession. The Sussex’s weren’t in there, so the Cambridge’s not walking was a very last minute change. Something must have happened behind the scenes for them to take the Cambridge’s out at the eleventh hour. I think William and Kate were looking forward to walking in the procession whilst harry and Meghan were sat, just so they could show off, and the tabloids would have gone on about how much more important they are. So them being told to literally sit the f*ck down clearly did not go down well with them, especially Kate judging from her face.
They seem quite focused on trying to smooth over their increasingly evident involvement in forcing Harry and Meghan out of the UK. These multiple claims that the brothers are regularly communicating (BS imo), that bizarre DM article that claimed Kate didn’t want to be propped up at the expense of Meghan (after how many years of it happening?)…a little too late to play innocent.
Whether or not this is occurring, my take is they want it to appear they are in touch with H/M to appear “nice”, so it looks like brotherly love exists and because in current times the look of having exiled the only POC in the BRF is to be avoided. Overall just to make W look better/ nicer/ bigger person and distract from the minimal work W/K are doing.
This is quite clearly horsesh*t. Harry is in the throes of suing for heinous breaches of privacy with the hacking and the bribes for gossip tracing back to Christian Jones and Dan Wooten. Why in the world would he participate in insecure video chats with Willileaks, at all, ever? I agree there have been innocuous calls or chats on birthdays or to check on the health of the elder Windsors, anything other than that is fiction. I think the over-emphasis on how “private” these so-called chats are is to counter the inside job disclosure from last week (was that just last week?). “See? Will is all alone in a private room talking to Harry. Nope, no one else is there who could possibly overhear or eavesdrop. And, see? No one has heard a peep about the content of these brotherly chats, so *obviously* Will can’t possibly be the leak!” …….. but let’s keep repeating that Karen/Kate is nowhere around when these chats are happening …….. hmmm, if we’re looking for a leak, maybe ……….
Notice how this is by the sun😒the keenbridges favourite RRs work there and more importantly was recently exposed their collusion with DanRotten to smear Harry and Meghan.
It’s all coming out and Billy boy wants to hide it via fiction like this. Looking by how little traction this is getting it seems to be failing miserably even with their base.
Once the hacking case starts back again & the Sussexs stay away, I expect even more revelations just like Tatler story
Chuck and Cam were out meeting key workers today in person – so let me get this straight. 2 people who are next in line to the throne and are in the age group most at risk were out meeting people in person yet the next line down and who are a LOT younger and in better health, HIDE behind Zoom calls.
Its seems Zooming is the DoLittles new excuse, it was the kids before they decided to use them to feed the press beast.
Charles already had covid and Camilla likely tested positive for antibodies which might be why they are out and about.
There is no solid scientific evidence that having COVID one time grants you immunity, much less for how long or against which strains. We have very little idea how this virus functions either short or long term.
Wills came out of hiding today to bother some ambulance workers. No mask though.
@Harper – WTF? He did WHAT?
@DU – Is the British spelling Cammy or Cammie?
The Fail has a story about Will visiting King’s Lynn Ambulance Station at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital today. You have to scroll way down to see it as it’s not prominently featured at all but still there are pics and everything.
I saw it as well. So Charles and Camilla step out, William and Anne. But not Kate. We all know Nanny Maria lives there so if they were doing a royals step out day, why again is Kate hiding?
Kate will absolutely be the LAST royal to leave the house, and that’s including all the European royals too. No doubt when she does emerge she will be praised to the heavens.
Old news and old issues to stay relevant, they are the poster couple for lazy.
Sure Jan.
Think they are a little panicky right now. “Kate the Great” went over with a thud. BM hinting around “Rose Who” again and queenie appears to have checked out. “I know, let me bug my brother, who just put a continent between us, to see if I can get a lift out of that.” Dumb
Lol….. right.Let me bring up Harry because we have nothing going for us over here and we desperately need to be tied to him and Meghan because we’re idiots and stunted in our growth. That’s the Cambridges and BM talking to each other.
Have you noticed that every one of those pictures show just how miserable this family is? Imagine living in that. You add in the racist media….recipe for disaster. I sincerely hope that H & M are happy now! Those reporters can give up on the “Harry is missing home” stupidity. Why would he?
I’m sure they do zoom, call, text etc. Of course that doesn’t mean this article has a source. Family, separated by an ocean in midst of a pandemic utilizes technology to communicate. 🤷♀️ Slow news week.
You wonder if William and his PR people, who definitely are briefing the tabloids, realize how stupid and desperate these stories come across. Which person, who genuinely wants to make up with somebody he fell out with, runs to the media to report every move he makes to solve their problems?
By the way, this tab piece must haven been written by an intern. Holy moly, what an amateur.
This makes me think that what the Tatler article really did was expose that W&K have no friends. The friends they thought were friends — they were secure in enough in those friendships to let them speak to the Tatler — turned out to be A+ blue bloods who know how to throw shade while smiling. This means W&K can never again count on the aristos for any good press, now they know what that circle will do to them if given half a minute with media. So, William has to make it seem like he does have a friend, the best kind of friend, his younger brother. Maybe William even reached out to Harry after the Tatler mess to try to shore up that crumbling or broken relationship. Harry’s too smart to be used by his brother again, for the same purposes, though, I’m guessing.
I doubt Harry will speak to him but maybe he is the one sending those drones to the Sussex home.
I am so sad I spend 30 hrs believing the royal family existed only to find out they were a group of self serving free loaders Harry the exception now regarding that phone call it’s a figment of a ill bread mind
I have only one statement to say-if this is true why the hell did William run to the tabloids and spill this information? He knows Harry loathes the tabloid press. He must have some tight reins on him and his family with the tabloids. Something smells fishy-Maybe trying to convince Harry and Meghan to drop their lawsuits.
Will is setting it up for future tabloid stories where he takes credit for H&Ms successes because he’s behind the scenes inspiring, mentoring, guiding, advising etc through zoom. Like how Kate inspired Megan’s smartworks project.
Good theory. William always tries to take credit for the work of others, why not this too?
First this item is the usual good/bad binary whereby William gets an ego boost. This is the third article of which in normal circumstances does not require reportage. What is unusual with two brothers being in contact that need to be publicly aired?
This feels like an attempt to get ahead of some impending announcement concerning Harry and Meghan which will put them in a positiive light. The keeping tabs is simply ridiculous even if by happenstance the zooming is true.
