Unforgiving Prince William May Block Prince Harry’s Return As Expert Warns It’s Now or Never for Reconciliation
Prince Harry has just been handed heartfelt advice that could shape the future of his strained relationship with the royal family — but experts say it won’t be easy, especially with his brother Prince William labeled as “unforgiving.”
Royal expert Hugo Vickers has weighed in on the ongoing royal rift, and his latest comments suggest time may be running out for Harry to make things right.
Speaking to The Sun, Vickers shared what he would say if he had the chance to counsel the Duke of Sussex directly.
“I think at the moment, if I was advising Prince Harry, I would say, get onto good terms with your father as soon as possible,” Vickers said. “And then that’s step one. Step two: try to get on good terms with your brother.”
However, the royal commentator made it clear that fixing things with King Charles might be the easier task — because Prince William is far less likely to forgive.
According to Vickers, the damage caused by Harry’s public comments about William and Princess Catherine in Spare and various interviews may be irreversible.
“So as for William, it’s much more difficult,” he explained. “The barbs were sent in his direction from Prince Harry, but very much directed towards Catherine.”
“That is very insulting,” Vickers added, “and I think William is likely to be more of an unforgiving person than his father.”
This insight comes just as reports swirl that Prince Harry is preparing to invite both King Charles and Prince William to the upcoming Invictus Games, which will be held in the UK.
Many see this move as a potential peace offering, giving Harry one more chance to reconnect with his family — if they’re willing to show up.
However, royal sources say the pain caused by Harry and Meghan Markle’s exit from the royal family in 2020 still lingers deeply within the Firm.
The couple’s announcement on January 8 of that year blindsided the palace and marked the beginning of a royal saga that continues to divide public opinion.
While King Charles has reportedly shown some openness to rebuilding ties with Harry, insiders claim William remains distant and wary — especially when it comes to protecting his wife and children.

Princess Catherine, who is currently recovering from her own cancer battle, was widely seen as collateral damage in Harry’s past criticisms — something William is said to take very personally.
In this context, Vickers’ advice underscores how delicate the situation is: one wrong move could permanently sever any hopes of a full royal reunion.
Some believe Harry’s recent public statements about wishing for peace with his family show genuine intent, while others view them as strategic — especially amid his declining public image in the UK.
With the Invictus Games on the horizon, all eyes are on whether King Charles and Prince William will accept the invitation — or ignore it altogether.
If either of them shows up, it could be a sign that the door to reconciliation isn’t completely closed.
But if they refuse, it may mark a defining moment in Prince Harry’s long journey away from — and potentially back to — the heart of the monarchy.
As for Prince William, experts say forgiveness may be a long way off, especially with Princess Catherine still in recovery and the wounds of past betrayals far from healed.
Only time will tell if the two brothers can ever find common ground again — but for now, the future of their relationship remains one of the biggest unanswered questions in royal history.
