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.”

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.

  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.

    • 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.

  4. sunniside up says:

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

  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!

  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?

  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.

  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.

  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.
