Prince William refuses to appear alongside Prince Harry at any future events

This story is from Radar, so take it with a grain of salt. That being said, Radar’s royal stories consistently end up getting repeated in the mainstream press, so maybe they’re on to something. Their latest exclusive about Prince William is completely believable, and I think it’s probably accurate regarding William’s little baby feelings. According to a “royal source,” William refuses to appear with Prince Harry in public for any state or family occasion, despite the Sussexes’ return to the UK.

Prince William is refusing to attend public events alongside Prince Harry after his estranged brother returns to Britain, with sources exclusively telling RadarOnline.com the future king remains unwilling to present a misleading picture of royal reconciliation.

William, 44, is said to remain deeply hurt by Harry, 41, and Meghan Markle, 45, following their criticism of the Royal Family – particularly over remarks involving Catherine, Princess of Wales, 44.

A royal source claimed to Radar: “William’s position is that Harry choosing to live in Britain again does not suddenly repair their relationship, and he isn’t prepared to appear alongside him at engagements simply to create photographs suggesting otherwise.

“He believes sharing a public platform would immediately be interpreted as evidence that everything between them had been resolved. From William’s perspective, that would be completely false. Unless something changes substantially between them privately, he does not want to manufacture an image of reconciliation publicly.”

“There is still considerable anger surrounding what William believes Harry and Meghan put Catherine and the wider family through,” a royal source claimed. “His priority is protecting his wife and children, and he doesn’t believe geographical proximity creates an obligation to socialize with Harry, privately or publicly. Charles can pursue his own reconciliation with his younger son, but William is not at the same place emotionally.”

[From Radar]

These quotes have consistency with what the Times, the Telegraph and the Daily Mail constantly report too, that William is still somehow raging over “what the Sussexes put Kate through.” It’s never specified exactly what Harry and Meghan actually *did* to Kate. What was the breaking point, really? Meghan saying, on-the-record, that Kate made her cry and not vice versa? Harry writing about Kate’s baby-brain/hormone tantrum? Kate getting pissy because Meghan didn’t give her an Easter gift? Kate hilariously guarding her button turf and thinking that Meghan wanted her fashion contacts? The undercurrent of this “William will never forgive the Sussexes for what they did to Kate” narrative is that somehow, the Sussexes “caused” Kate’s health problems. And that is absolutely insane. It’s also bonkers that William assaulted his brother and yet has the nerve to act like the wronged party. But here we are. I guarantee that this is how William actually feels.

    Such a petulant little dickwad.

    • Puff Updater says:

      Took the words right out of my mouth 😂. Throw in substance abuse and a severe personality disorder and Britain is beans on toast if he ever becomes King Bulliam.

    • FloridaWoman says:

      Part of me wants William to ban Harry from England for a few reasons:
      (1) It’ll show the world exactly who William is
      (2) Harry will go back to the sane protective bubble his wife’s kept him in for the past few very good years

      And all the English journalists who are panting and frothing for something to write about will be forced to admit that Harry was the best part of the family.

    • B says:

      @Alicky Oh thank you for that comment. I laughed and laughing tears started, lol!

    • Agreatreckoning says:

      After long thought, I cannot come up with a $ number worth it to me, to be pictured alongside William.

      Harry, on the other hand, a different story. For free.

  2. fwiw says:

    As Diana said when young William refused to go with her & Harry–that’s ok, Harry can have all the fun.

    • MMRB says:

      TOTALLY ^
      ALSO, Will.i.am. – you dont even need to worry about it, your brother is going to be high profile without your presence!

  3. Jais says:

    They also claim that Meghan called Kate a racist which she never did. What I wouldn’t give for someone to be honest in the BM about the fact the Meghan did nothing but correct a lie told about her. Anyways though, yeah, this feels consistent to William.

    • Tessa says:

      Harry talked about the some of his relatives concerned with skin color of a r c h i e. And no names named. Piers named names

    • sunniside up says:

      It was Omid who called Kate a racist. Funnily enough Omid is mixed race as well, I expect he has been a victim himself.

      • dwi says:

        piers morgan used the word racist on his show.

      • Jais says:

        It was piers who went live with that. Omid did not go onto tv and say Kate’s name just saying.

      • Nic919 says:

        Piers is the one who spread the details of a Dutch edition on UK tv. And he basically said the media knew who they were after the Oprah interview.

    • Me at home says:

      William doesn’t care what the Sussexes said about Kate. William cares that Harry told the stories of the dog bowl and waving his finger in Meghan’s face.

    • kirk says:

      Recall that Willy was a screaming meanie at the event known as ‘The Sandringham Summit.’ And he didn’t bother to go to the nice lunch Granny had prepared before the meeting.

      The Sandringham Summit was in January 2020.
      Well BEFORE any Oprah interview, Netflix docuseries, or Spare memoir was published. So all these brittabloid worker-bees aka ‘churnalists’ concerns over Harry doing things to upset Willy have made clear to me is that Willy is mad because Harry has rejected the historic ‘spare’ royal role of punching bag to the mad king/heir.

  4. sunniside up says:

    So one of his sons can’t attend their father’s funeral. How childish.

    • Mayp says:

      Yes, is William telegraphing that Harry should not be invited to his father’s funeral or to the Diana Awards scheme next year for the 30th anniversary of her death?

      • Gtwiecz says:

        He can’t stop Harry for attending something related to his father and mother. This is not trooping of the color. William is insane. The man is very unwell. Poor Britain, about 40 years with this man soon.

  5. Hypocrisy says:

    Angry immature and violent men like Willy are the reason women choose the bear.. prince or pauper the DARVO is always the same.

  6. Tessa says:

    Harry never said he wanted to work alongside scooter

  7. gaffney says:

    If stress caused Kate’s illness the very likely source is her walking volcano husband.

  8. Penny Candy says:

    Unfit to be King if he can’t even navigate family issues, an embarrassing entitled brat.

    • Michelle says:

      Egg is a bully/abuser. He gave off weird bully vibes during his New Heights interview! Even the Kelce brothers hype didn’t help him. W’s temper boil over in public, on camera in the next year.

      • Lady Digby says:

        I think you have hit the nail on the head @Michelle I get the impression that volatile William ‘s events have to be carefully spaced out so he can recover from hangovers and also because they need to avoid him really losing his temper in public. Okay daddy gets tetchy with scratchy pens but for years Will has iced his own wife out in public. Kate was snapped looking cowed by a verballing from hubby in the back of a limp. He may have been angrily jabbing a finger in her face. Those horrible scenes of him “celebrating” footie goals by punching the air with his fists and shouting indicating what he’s like when beating up Harry and others we can’t mention for legal reasons!!

  9. Barrett says:

    As a mental health counselor, I see so much intergenerational trauma here: 2 boys w PTSD, w/o the skills (cough, um, thanks, royal family. It’s even deeper than Willie just being an arse and holding to his role as future king.

  10. Tashiro says:

    Fine, whatever. The RR and whomever are the ones who create all of this unnecessary drama.

  11. Amy T says:

    William is the only one who is allowed to ”put Catherine through” anything….

    (“That’s mine, Harold!”)

  12. Chaine says:

    Why does he always act like a child having a tantrum? You’re going to the KING of your country, get a grip, be the adult, you’re middle-aged! if your role means you have to be at the same ceremonies as someone you dislike, just DO YOUR JOB and stand there and put up with it. All the rest of us have to deal with people we don’t like at work and somehow we manage!

    • Becks1 says:

      the answer to your question is simple – because emotionally, he is a child always having a tantrum.

    • Jay says:

      Well, if you raise someone to believe they are chosen to lead, not by their qualities or actions but simply by their birth, that they are inherently above everyone else and therefore an object of admiration, and then you make sure that they never have to deal with any differences of opinion or do anything they don’t want to do for about 45 years, this is the result! Someone who has never progressed beyond “Mine! I want it!” and literally pushing people who don’t do exactly what he wants like an overgrown toddler.

  13. Tessa says:

    Keen could have avoided some of the stress by being nice to Meghan. Instead of letting a fake story stay in the media.

  14. Amy Bee says:

    As I said yesterday I’m getting William fatigue. I don’t how he’s the most popular royal when he lacks charisma, is a lightweight and just a whiny bitch. He needs to suck it up and accept the blame for this situation.

  15. Eurydice says:

    Whatever.

  16. Ariel says:

    The royals and their pr/ “press” industry are wearing me out.
    We get it. William is a big baby. William definitely did not have a spouse that said- I will not be in a relationship with someone who speaks to me like that in anger. And he did not go to therapy, and now “his” kingdom suffers the consequences. We get it.

    No one ever told the royals- just because it makes Murdoch press wealthier, does not mean is it a good look.

    It’s exhausting.

  17. Hypocrisy says:

    If stress and family conflict caused cancer cells to grow most of us would be six feet under by now… waity isn’t stressed enough over anything imo.. no financial, housing, or medical costs issues and no job worries or overtime required comparatively she has a stress free life when Willy isn’t home.

  18. Robin Samuels says:

    Meghan corrected the lie Camilla Tominey started. She also said Kate is a nice person (😩). If William ever falls off the high horse upon which he sits, he will not survive. He and Charles are in constant contrast because they are so much alike: vindictive, petulant, and artificial. When will he stop hiding behind that invisible contract and speak for himself?

    • Nic919 says:

      If Meghan lied during that Oprah interview it was by saying Kate is a nice person. Objectively we can see that Kate is absolutely not nice especially toward Meghan.

  19. Just Me says:

    He’s so trump-like, it’s kinda scary.

  20. Tarte Au Citron says:

    Has Bulletproof Sunshine quit already? Because this is terrible messaging.

    • Jay says:

      You know, we really never heard from her after those initial stories about her hiring. For all we know, she may not have even accepted the job or quietly left/resigned. I certainly haven’t detected any major differences in the media strategy/talking points/ briefings from KP.

  21. Becks1 says:

    Meghan was much nicer about kate in the Oprah interview than I would have been, and as far as I can recall, the only other thing she specifically said about Kate was how formal she was behind closed doors – which was funny bc it goes against the “hands on mother, commoner who married her true love” story that they push to us.

    Anyway, the more William refuses to acknowledge Harry, the more we hear preemptively that William is never going to see Harry……the more immature and petulant Harry looks. Has Harry said anything about wanting to see William? So far, if we are to believe these unnamed “Sussex sources,” we’ve heard that Harry misses his home country, that Harry wants the children to experience a british education, that this move is related to his father, some rumblings about being close for Invictus, spending more time with the Spencers, etc.

    What we have NOT heard, at all, is that this move is about Harry wanting to repair his relationship with William, that this is about Harry wanting his kids to meet the Wales children, or anything along those lines. It’s a complete blank in terms of that.

  22. Over it says:

    Willy is a f lunatic. Was he protecting his wife when he threw her under the bus for the mother day photo? Or when he left her to sit on that bench during her supposed cancer speech? Nope I didn’t think so . Willy is still mad that Harry got the better wife . With a fully developed and functioning brain

    • 810Mama says:

      He reminds me of Mathboi Fly.

      Everything’s always somebody else fault for his never being prepared & being extremely unlikeable.

    • Kasztanka says:

      It’s time to stop condoning Wales’s cheating. The footage from the bench is AI-generated. Having a second person there would have added complexity and led to even more errors—of which there was already no shortage in that video. AI struggles with that. As for the rest, I fully agree.

  23. 810Mama says:

    Reminds me of he reminds me of Mathboi fly. Everything is always somebody else’s fault and he’s extremely unlikable.

  24. Feebee says:

    William is the epitome of “no one asked”. A spiteful wee prick that no one really wants to be around.

  25. QuiteContrary says:

    LOL at William’s priority being protecting his wife.

    His priority has always been, and will always be, protecting his own ego and his freedom to do as little work as possible.

  26. one of the marys says:

    “Charles can pursue his own reconciliation with his younger son, but William is not at the same place emotionally.”

    This is the only new information and it’s an improvement so I guess that’s progress.

    • Lady Digby says:

      Exactly and how gracious of Will to allow dad to decide whether he wants a relationship with his son, daughter in law and two gorgeous grandchildren.

  27. iCordelia says:

    This is so tiresome and honestly embarrassing for William. He comes off as vindictive, petty and small. He sounds like someone who is obsessed and tormented by his vengeance against his brother. At some level, I feel sorry for him. It’s not easy to be raised the way he was raised and to be in this awful fishbowl but he’s a grown man acting so petulant and mean. No one ever reports any meaningful thing he does or any positive or brilliant ideas, all they report is about how he’s seething against his only sibling. What a loser. Someone who cares about him needs to tell him to grown up.

  28. L4Frimaire says:

    The more stories like this out there, the more obvious it is that William is definitely the problem. He hates that the crying lie was debunked.

  29. Jay says:

    Regardless of whether this report has a source within KP, it’s simply summarizing what other members of the rota have already said: William obviously feels threatened by his brother being in the UK and he is saying quite clearly that he won’t do any events with Harry, he’s basically afraid to even be in Harry’s proximity. To which I’d like to reassure him: charisma is NOT contagious. Don’t even worry about it😂

    But let’s play this out: the UK is a relatively small island. Are the Wales really going to hide in Forest Lodge all year, peering through the curtains and raging that they won’t come out until Harry is gone? They might! When you refuse to communicate, you also lose the ability to coordinate – making sure you aren’t going to cross each other’s path or attend a similar event on the same weekend. Now that the Wales no longer have a mole working in the Sussex’s camp and seemingly are unwilling to work with Theo Rycroft at BP, I foresee a ton of grouching and backstabbing behind the scenes and complaints about Harry “stealing” the spotlight and “disrespecting” the monarchy. Who could work under such stressful conditions? Kate is still recovering, don’t you know!

    Charles seemingly kept Harry’s return a secret from William – I could see him making things worse by sending out Harry on surprise appearances to bolster his own reputation (what a good father, trying to reconcile with his prodigal son!) while purposely needling William to try to force him to do the job as Charles wants it to be done. He’ll use Harry at least until Harry displeases him in some way.

    Just a totally healthy and normal adult family dynamic that’ll end well for everyone involved.

  30. tamsin says:

    Since nobody expects Charles’s reign to be long, considering his cancer diagnosis, and William and Kate will definitely be the odd pair out among the remaining houses of Europe. It seems that not only would they not have a personal relationship with any of them, but they will be the least educated and least competent constitutional royal heads of state anywhere in Europe. Furthermore, what’s coming up are a whole bunch of women ascending the throne, and most of them are better educated and more competent than William. Also, none of them are having tantrums and being publicly vindictive and jealous towards a sibling. None of the current crop of kings, Felipe and Frederick for example, married a woman as ineffectual, gormless and lazy as Kate. Nobody amongst the reigning houses has a pair as petty, vindictive, and insecure as the British seem to have.

  31. MaisiesMom says:

    Charles is a bad father but I still think William should do as he begged and not “make his remaining days a misery” by refusing to bury the hatchet with his brother. You don’t have to forgive him privately, Willy. Just do it publicly for the sake of the monarchy and to spare all of our nerves for once. Not that I care about the monarchy, but you’d think he would.

  32. Tarte Au Citron says:

    Oh all those events he never goes to anyway? No big loss, is it?

  33. BeanieBean says:

    Ha! Jokes on him! Harry’s not going to be attending any of their stupid events!

  34. Wildrose says:

    Whingeing Wails is lower than a snakes belly. I live in hope that Whinger and Wiglet are reading every single comment, as for the bullshit about The Sussex choices causing Wiglet’s doubtful health issues, it just goes to show that Wiglet has a hand in all of these nasty stories.

    Stay away Whinger, don’t bother to attend anything, buy more forever homes, steal more land and hold out your hands for the peasants money.

    Whinger is still that selfish, spoilt, snot nose kid that amuses himself by bashing up his younger brother any way him and Wiglet can think of.

    Since Whinger has taken this piss poor attitude then go for it because this is what leads to Revolutionary change.

  35. Krista says:

    William has always been a man baby and never a leader.
