What does Netflix have to do with the ongoing feud between Prince William and his brother,
Prince Harry?
And why is William reportedly afraid to speak to his younger sibling?
Keep watching to find out.
Recently, an inside source claimed Prince Harry and Prince William's feud started earlier
than we thought — in 2015, after a reportedly aimless Harry left the Armed Forces and was
sick of playing second fiddle to the future King.
Regardless of when the feud kicked off, with each passing week, the brothers seem to be
getting closer to reconciling.
The primary media narrative has been that problems between the brothers began when Harry
hooked up with Meghan Markle.
The princes' relationship rapidly deteriorated after he married the "Suits" star and the
two ultimately fled the royal family.
Despite how bad things have gotten in the intervening years, royal expert Robert Jobson
maintains that there's still a lot of love between the brothers.
Speaking on "The Royal Beat," he acknowledged that there's definitely room for them to fix
things, but something may be getting in the way.
Jobson said,
"There is a lot of testosterone flying around here.
They probably just need, as I am sure the Queen would love, just one moment where they
can gel again, have a hug, and then move on."
The brothers haven't spent quality time together since the unveiling of their mother, Princess
Diana's, statue in July 2021.
William opened up about their bond during an interview for the 20th anniversary of Princess
Diana's death in 2017.
He said, according to the Independent,
"We have been brought closer because of the circumstances as well, that's the thing.
You are uniquely bonded because of what we've been through."
In April 2022, royal expert Katie Nicholl ["nickel"] told Entertainment Tonight that
Harry is wants to speak to his brother with a mediator present, saying,
"It was something that he had suggested to his father.
He's made it very clear that he wants to sort things out.
He wants things to be improved."
The main issue may actually be Meghan, though, and the Sussexes' increasing celebrity status
in the United States.
Prince William is reportedly concerned that his long-running feud with younger brother
Prince Harry will be mined for content if he sits down to have a proper heart-to-heart
with him.
Sources confirm to the Sun that William is hesitant about trying to mend fences with
Harry during the queen's upcoming Platinum Jubilee celebrations in case he discusses
their private conversations in upcoming Netflix documentaries, similar to how Harry spoke
out during the infamous Oprah Winfrey interview.
William reportedly wasn't impressed when his brother discussed their difficult upbringing
previously, and he's concerned that anything he says now could make it into Harry's upcoming
autobiography.
"I love William to bits.
He's my brother.
We've been through hell together, and we have a shared experience."
The Sussexes have confirmed that they will be making the trip over for the celebrations,
even though they won't be allowed to stand on Buckingham Palace's balcony for Trooping
the Colour.
According to insiders, there are concerns about Meghan and Harry trying to steal the
spotlight for themselves.
Royal expert Tom Bower advised,
"Kate and William would be foolish not to be suspicious and would be unwise not to be
cautious."
Although a film crew will be following the Sussexes around, they will be prevented from
filming inside the palace in order to prevent Meghan and Harry from exploiting the events
for their own gains.
As People magazine notes, only working royals are allowed to accompany the queen on the
balcony, but, regardless, the celebrity couple has made it clear they're delighted to attend
either way.
Although it was a step in the right direction, a royal expert said Prince Harry's recent
surprise visit with the queen only made a small dent in the brotherly rift, as there
is plenty more work to be done.
Whether they like it or not, the warring family members will be back together in June to celebrate
the matriarch's Platinum Jubilee, so they'll have to put their differences aside.
However, sources claim that, if Prince William had his way, his younger brother wouldn't
be attending in the first place.
According to the Daily Beast, the Duke of Cambridge [CAME-bridge] is concerned that
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's presence will overshadow the queen.
As one source revealed,
"Last time Harry came to the U.K., William managed to be in the Alps.
These things don't happen by accident.
William is sick of the sight and sound of his kid brother.
He doesn't want him there."
Unfortunately, the boys' grandmother specifically requested Harry's attendance, so there's nothing
William can do about it.
As former royal editor Emily Andrews explained to the Daily Beast,
"William has played his cards very close to his chest throughout the whole thing and said
nothing about it to anyone, so you can be sure he would not be actively agitating for
Harry not to come."
However, the fact Meghan and Harry will be staying at their old home, Frogmore Cottage,
during the jubilee suggests the relationship isn't completely irreparable.
They've been feuding for a while, but according to royal expert Robert Jobson, there's one
particular comment Prince Harry made during his chat with Oprah Winfrey that his father
and brother really can't get over.
"My father and my brother, they are trapped.
They don't get to leave.
And I have huge compassion for that."
Jobson countered that William, in particular, has never felt trapped by the monarchy, telling
the Mirror,
"I think Harry was putting words into his father and his brother's mouths, and maybe
making an assessment based upon his feelings."
Both Charles and William were reportedly hurt and angered by Harry's assertion.
Although commentators are split right down the middle on whether the brothers can ever
reconcile, let alone Harry and his father, for many of them, it all comes down to what's
in the duke's upcoming book.
Regardless, Meghan and Harry are reportedly preparing for a difficult reunion with William
and wife Kate Middleton when they arrive for the jubilee celebrations in June.
The foursome, who were virtually inseparable at one point, last crossed paths at the Commonwealth
Day Service, at which they barely spoke.
Considering the Sussexes will be prevented from taking part in many of the public-facing
events since they're no longer working royals, the most awkward moments will likely happen
behind closed doors.
