In a surprising turn, Prince William has reportedly extended an olive branch to his estranged brother, Prince Harry. This gesture, made during William’s recent documentary, has sent ripples through royal circles.
But Meghan Markle’s reaction to it all may be the biggest twist. According to OK! Magazine, the Duchess of Sussex appears to be “unbothered” by William’s overtures toward her husband.
Royal expert Tom Sykes shared insights into this, suggesting that Harry is “tired” of the ongoing tension. For Harry, mending ties with his brother seems more important than ever.
“He would like nothing more than to recover his reputation,” Sykes claims, noting how much Harry reportedly values the possibility of a truce.
Meanwhile, Meghan seems to have her own outlook on the family rivalry. Sykes claims Meghan is “quite happy” to remain at odds with the British royals.
This stance has left many wondering if the Sussexes are truly aligned on their future within—or outside—the royal fold.
In William’s new documentary, Prince William: We Can End Homelessness, he recalls a touching memory with his mother, Princess Diana. In it, he describes Diana’s efforts to instill compassion in both him and Harry from an early age.
“She took Harry and I both there,” William shared. “I must have been 11 at the time, maybe 10.” The brief but heartfelt mention of Harry has been widely viewed as an attempt at reconciliation.

Yet Meghan’s reaction has sparked intrigue, with Sykes hinting she might be unaffected by William’s recent mention of Harry. He noted that “the change of reign” within the monarchy may hold little relevance to Meghan.
This apparent disinterest has drawn mixed reactions, as some believe her stance could complicate Harry’s efforts to bridge the royal divide.
Others see it as a show of strength, demonstrating Meghan’s resolve to stand apart from royal expectations.
The ongoing divide between the Sussexes and the rest of the royal family remains one of the most publicized rifts of the last decade. And with William’s recent gesture, many wonder if Harry will be able to repair his bond with the family.
Meghan, however, appears focused on forging a separate path. The duchess has made it clear, through actions and choices, that she prioritizes her independence from royal influence. Whether this will impact Harry’s attempts to reconnect with his brother remains to be seen.
As it stands, the rift seems as complex as ever, with both personal and public stakes influencing each move.
