Prince William + Prince Harry: Private Meeting! What they are going to talk about

It is a meeting that the British have been looking forward to for weeks: on Thursday (July 1, 2021), Prince William and Prince Harry will unveil their mother’s new statue. A special moment, but one that has been overshadowed by the rifts of the past few months.

Since the explosive Oprah interview by Prince Harry (36) and Duchess Meghan (39), there has been an ice age between the once so intimate brothers. Prince William (39) still cannot understand that Harry made serious allegations against the family in front of the cameras. But that’s not all: In the podcast “Armchair Experts” and his documentary series “The Me You Can’t See”, Harry continued to attack the Royal Family, sharply criticized his father, Prince Charles, 72, and questioned his upbringing . Hard stuff that stands between the brothers – and should now be cleared out of the way.

In order for the sons of Princess Diana († 36) to finally approach each other again, a few points must first be eliminated.

Prince William and Prince Harry want to “clean the table”

Prince Harry and Prince William will have a “private meeting” after the statue of their late mother, Princess Diana, is unveiled, according to various British media. The reason: The reports of the falling out between the two are piling up, and Harry is said to have now realized that he had made mistakes in the past few months. He now wants to admit this to himself. Now the brothers want to “clear the table”.


These problems stand between the brothers

1. Prince Harry’s accusation that William was “trapped” in the monarchy

For Prince William it should have been a shock that his brother wants to talk about the problems of the royal family in an exclusive interview. But the fact that Harry described him and Prince Charles as “trapped” in the system of the monarchy – and that in front of an audience of millions – was an expression that the younger brother was not entitled to. Not only because Prince William will one day be king and cannot afford such a picture, but because, according to statements by some palace insiders, it does not correspond to the truth. That Prince Harry talks about himself and Duchess Meghan is one thing – drawing his brother’s life on the same level is another thing.

2. The conflict between Meghan and Kate

One of the two brothers’ biggest themes is likely to be called “Meghan”. After all, the Duchess of Sussex has made serious allegations. It was she who spoke in the Oprah interview of the Royals’ conversation about Archie’s skin color. Harry said shortly afterwards that he would never publish details of this conversation. But not only that: Duchess Meghan also claimed that Duchess Catherine made her cry shortly before their wedding. An accusation Prince William is sure to bring to the table when he meets his brother. Because one thing is certain: Kate will never talk about the private discussions within the family and therefore cannot defend herself against Meghan’s claims.

3. The upbringing within the royal family and attack on Prince Charles

The 60th birthday of their late mother and the unveiling of the statue will surely open some wounds in the brothers: their parents’ divorce, the tragic death of their mother and the years afterwards of growing up without Diana. Prince Harry spoke on the Armchair Expert podcast about how Prince Charles “suffered” in his own childhood and used his parents’ undercooled parenting style with Harry and William. A bitter blow; not only in the pit of the stomach of Charles, but also an evaluation of the upbringing of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip († 99). This disclosure, so many years later, should also be an absolute no-go for Prince William that he will discuss with his brother.

4. Harry and Meghan’s future plans

Yes, a lot has happened in the past year and a half. There are still allegations from palace employees that Duchess Meghan bullied and disrespected her, and the allegations of racism will not fall under the table anytime soon. But one thing that Prince William is sure to urgently discuss is: How does Prince Harry envision the months and years to come? Will he continue his unveiling campaign against the Royals? Will he make further secrets of the monarchy public bit by bit, thereby exposing his family, who live by the motto “never complain, never explain”? What must the British royal family continue to prepare for? A media mud fight? Or does Prince Harry finally want the peace that he was striving for with his retirement as Senior Royal in 2020? These are the central questions that could stand in the way of reconciliation. Because without Harry’s desire for peace and quiet, the headlines will continue.

Is reconciliation even possible?

Palace insiders repeatedly report that Prince William has completely lost trust in Prince Harry. This is hardly surprising, after all, Harry has in the past spread various family problems in front of the public and passed on internal information from private phone calls, including to US presenter Gayle King (66). She then chatted cheerfully on “CBS This Morning” about the “unproductive conversations” in the Royal Family. A slap in the face for William and his father.

“On the one hand we have William who doesn’t seem willing to admit anything and on the other hand friends have told me that Harry wouldn’t mind reconciling and then it’s Meghan who comes up on that issue holding on to their weapons, “says Royal author Robert Lacey (77). “It should be possible for both sides to say that the past is in the past. It is very unfortunate that Meghan does not give in a little.”


Princess Diana

For this reason, the Royal biographer Hugo Vickers (69) fears that reconciliation will be a great, almost impossible challenge. “You have to remember that Harry will have to return to his wife in Los Angeles […]”Suspects Vickers. He believes that Meghan would not necessarily be enthusiastic about a reconciliation and adds:” Harry has to wake up and understand what is going on. It’s a very uncomfortable situation and I don’t think this week is the right time. “

Queen Elizabeth as a peacemaker

The only one who could solve the problems between Prince Harry, Duchess Meghan and the British royal family is Queen Elizabeth (95) suspect royal experts: inside further. But the monarch is currently in Scotland, so the 95-year-old cannot attend a private meeting of the Windsor brothers. However, photos show that the Queen visited her grandson at Frogmore Cottage shortly after his arrival in England. Did she set the course for reconciliation and a harmonious future during this meeting? It would be credible to her. After all, there is nothing that bothers the queen more than conflicts within the family.
