Prince William has "no incentive" to speak to Prince Harry after his latest bombshell BBC interview following his legal defeat over his downgraded security in the UK, as sources claimed there is still a "major trust issue". The Duke of Sussex caused a sensation last Friday when he appeared in a BBC interview in response to losing a Court of Appeal challenge over his security arrangements while in the UK.
Harry, who appeared emotional and close to tears during much of the sit-down chat, described his court defeat as a "good old-fashioned establishment stitch-up" and expressed hopes of a reconciliation with his family. He also expressed his wish to reconcile with his estranged family, saying, "I would love reconciliation with my family. There’s no point in continuing to fight anymore", adding, "I don’t know how much longer my father has."
Now sources claimed that any reconciliation between the two camps is highly unlikely as his latest interview will only further deepen the rift between them.
They told the Mirror: "The Duke’s latest decision to speak publicly about his family and the situation he finds himself in will only result in him being further than ever from the reconciliation he now says he wants. At its very heart, for the family, there is a major trust issue when even thinking about speaking to him."
The sources claimed the Prince of Wales reportedly has "no incentive" to reconcile with his brother after he is free to "only ever present one view". They said: "There is certainly no incentive to do so when he is so free to openly criticise and only ever present one view, being his."
In his interview, the duke said he doesn't expect "some members" of the Firm will ever forgive him for writing his memoir, Spare.
He said: "Of course, some members of my family will never forgive me for writing a book, of course they will never forgive me for lots of things, but I would love reconciliation with my family. There's no point in continuing to fight anymore."
But sources argued the duke's claims and suggested his book may not have been the case.
They said: "The King is a Christian and a good man. Forgiveness is central to that. But how can anyone forget the events of the past five years when they are repeated so often? The whole episode is as exhausting as it is sad."
Following Harry's interview, Buckingham Palace in a blunt statement: "All these issues have been examined repeatedly and meticulously by the courts, with the same conclusion on each occasion."
