Broken bond between William and Harry

One of the hardest truths to admit is something negative about yourself. But, if you can admit it, and apologize you can work towards healing. Then, if the injured one accepts apology you have a reestablished bond.

I'm speaking as a mum who has 34 years of 1 successful marriage.I fully believe that Diana raised William and Harry to always have each other's backs. William will one day be King. He will need his brother to talk to. Harry needs to be the one that William can always count on, through thick and thin.

When Princess Diana passed,Charles was quoted as saying" They are going to blame me". One way towards healing is acting forgiving for what happened inthe past. Being a positive role model for healing the brothers bond is showing a positive emotion towards Diana. Being present when they did something together to remember their mothers legacy (Diana statue) is one way. Another way is to be actively in their lives by communication. Keeping the lines of communication open by text, phone calls, zoom meetings etc. Not to mention, visiting in person!

People are human, and we all make mistakes. But at the end of the day, nothing is as important as family. Harry and Meghan have some apologizing to do. And William and Charles need to be accepting. It will not be easy, because admitting mistakes never is. To have a family in tact is the real key to happiness.

OP I think you should stick to running your own family. That's really enough for anyone.

Sometimes sadly people who have been so close need to pull apart, look at how many great people pulled part.
It's the only way some people can grow.

William seemed like a ramrod was shoved up his arse at the statue and it was Harry trying to make all the eye contact and jokes.
I have really warmed to Harry recently and think he's very brave.

I presume you are interested in the royal family - there is actually a whole board here for that.

You do sound obsessed and I don’t know why you fully believe anything about the parenting of a woman you don’t know who died years ago leaving behind children you also don’t know. I don’t have this level of interest in people I actually know.

I'm sorry if don't understand sunshine Sach reference.

As for William going grey rock I get the impression that behind the scenes it's been William chucking arrows and Harry has simply gone public with it...

Who knows...

@Strugglingtodomybest

I fully believe that Diana raised William and Harry to always have each other's backs.

Can I ask why you fully believe this?

So do all parents. They also bring them up to be human beings, who sometimes get on and sometimes don't. William shouldn't need his brother to rely on. Hes a grown man with a wife and children of his own. His wife should be his support if the monarchy survives until he is King. No other monarch has needed their sibling to 'support' them. The siblings just get further and further away as the children grow up. Harry's job was as a spare part getting more and more irrelevant as time goes on. He did well to get out.
