After years of public feuds, explosive interviews, and icy silence, Prince Harry has made a surprising move that could finally thaw tensions with his estranged brother, Prince William. In what insiders are calling a genuine olive branch, the Duke of Sussex has reportedly taken steps to open communication and prevent further clashes with his royal family.
According to reports by the Daily Mail, via Radar Online, Harry has offered to share his official diary of engagements with both Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace.
This move aims to prevent overlapping events and avoid future PR conflicts between the Sussexes and senior royals something that has previously stirred controversy and deepened the divide within the family.
Sources claim this is a new chapter for Harry, who is seemingly embracing a more cooperative tone after years of defiance. “Before that meeting between their aides in London, conflicts of interest or clashes of publicity were relished and even perhaps encouraged by the Sussexes,” the insider revealed.
But now, the narrative has shifted. “Harry has shifted into a new way of thinking. The tone is now all about ‘deconflicting’ with his family,” the source added, suggesting that Harry may be slowly moving toward reconciliation—not just with his father King Charles, but with Prince William as well.
The change comes after a notable misstep during Harry’s recent trip to Angola. While engaging in humanitarian work with the Halo Trust, his visit unintentionally overshadowed the release of Queen Camilla’s official portrait on her 78th birthday.
The PR clash did not go unnoticed within palace circles and is believed to have reignited discussions about coordination or the lack of it between the Sussexes and the rest of the royal household.

In response to that incident, Harry’s team reportedly agreed to establish a formal “grid” of his engagements. This calendar would be shared with Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace to ensure that future appearances do not conflict with royal events a major shift in approach given the couple’s past efforts to forge an independent path.
Royal watchers see this development as a rare positive step toward healing. While Harry has expressed regret over the royal split before, this is the first concrete action that suggests a willingness to coordinate and collaborate with the institution he once left behind.
The timing of this move is also significant. With King Charles undergoing cancer treatment and Princess Kate stepping back from public duties for health reasons, the royal workload has increasingly fallen on a smaller group. Any gestures toward unity are likely to be welcomed, especially by a monarchy under pressure to remain stable and modern.
For Prince William, the reported olive branch may be a difficult one to accept. The Prince of Wales has reportedly struggled to forgive his younger brother for the explosive claims made in the Oprah interview, the Netflix series Harry & Meghan, and Harry’s bombshell memoir Spare, which openly criticized both William and Kate.
Still, sources suggest that Harry’s attempt to “deconflict” signals a new maturity and understanding of royal dynamics. By agreeing to share his schedule and avoid competing headlines, Harry may be acknowledging the damage that past media battles have caused and trying to prevent more.
It remains to be seen whether this act of goodwill will lead to a personal reconciliation between the brothers. While the relationship remains strained, insiders believe this gesture could be the first step toward rebuilding trust, especially if followed by continued transparency and respect for each other’s roles.
As one insider put it, “This might be the first real sign that Harry wants to turn the page. The royals may not forget everything that’s happened but they may be ready to listen.”
