Daily Mirror reports Prince William will not engage with Prince Harry

The Daily Mirror has reported that Prince William has no intention of engaging with Prince Harry, and that there is no world in which the rift between the brothers could be healed. The report was described as a royal exclusive and led a late-night discussion of the feud.

The report follows a GQ interview in which Harry spoke about wanting reconciliation. He said some people were not fans of the idea. The interview was recorded in September in New York, and Harry had no control over when it was published, according to the discussion.

The panel was split on Harry's approach. One contributor argued that if Harry wanted to reconcile, he should have done so before writing his book, and pointed to the Oprah interview and the questions it raised about the royal family. Another contributor defended Harry and said William was being petulant and ridiculous. Later, another contributor said William and Kate had won the public relations battle, while a further speaker rejected the idea that public fascination with Harry and Meghan had faded.

The discussion also touched on trust. One speaker said trust would have to be rebuilt before any reconciliation, and that recent public moves did not suggest that was happening. It was also said that Harry had moved back to the UK, with schooling and the King's health cited as reasons, and that the move had surprised the royal household. It was further claimed that the couple's children had probably been enrolled in a school and then pulled out two days later because of security threats. The discussion offered no sign that William's position had changed.
