Will Harry and William ever repair their falling out

Sadly, it just seems to be getting worse. I don’t really care or take any notice of relationships in the celebrity or world or the relationships of public figures, but I do find it quite sad that there are two brothers who were probably very close at one point and brought closer together by the premature death of their mother at a young age and are now so distant from each other, and I don’t just mean geographically.

I can’t see Harry and William ever making amends, what with all this Netflix stuff, the Oprah stuff and his new book.

It just seems a bit sad!

I genuinely think it'll take a divorce and about two decades. But stranger things have happened.

ZeroFuchsGiven · 15/12/2022 15:43

I cant see it happening now, especially after watching the final 3 netflix docs this morning.

BucketofTeaMassiveCake · 15/12/2022 15:44

It looks as though Harry has gone too far now, and without a major shift in mindset or circumstances etc ...

I wonder what King Charles thinks about it all? I wonder if there’s a part of him who is very annoyed about the way he and Meghan are getting on or if he just despises his own son now?

I doubt it. Tbh William is probably better off without his brother in his life.

I imagine he just feels very, very sad about it all. I bet he misses all four of them.

Me and my Dsister argue and row sometimes, but at the end of the day I couldn’t imagine not having a relationship with her anymore. She’s one of the people I go to immediately for advice and I’d be lost without her!

Maybe after the dust settles and a fair few years have gone by. But I think it very much depends on Harry stopping voicing his opinion on the RF. I've just finished episode 5, and all it seems to be about is how he and M have been let down by the Institution, and of course William is in line to become the head of the Institution.

It's a bit like slagging off a group of people and then expecting to be invited to the Christmas party, it just won't happen until the hurt has healed. Harry is obviously very hurt, and he's now causing hurt elsewhere.

Not until Harry and Meghan split.

SoyMarina · 15/12/2022 15:55

Probably but only if Harry and Meghan split up and they turn against each other.

PeekAtYou · 15/12/2022 16:00

I imagine it would take decades now. I think that Harry is not going to get what he wants from his father and brother (public apologies and an admission that his truth= the truth) and Willliam isn't going to get what he wants (his brother to shut up about the RF)

Probably but only if Harry and Meghan split up and they turn against each other.

And then we will get documentaries from both sides on how toxic each party were and Harry saying he left his family, role for hee blah blah blah. I don't think they will divorce though, they have kids.

showysnowy · 15/12/2022 16:01

Not that I'm saying people with kids don't divorce but two royal kids are on the other side of the world so it would be a brutal custody battle.

Lockupyourbiscuits · 15/12/2022 16:01

Unfortunately I don’t think it will ever be repaired
Harry is too destructive and a complete loose cannon - it’s his choice to keep blabbing - I don’t think anyone could ever trust him and William has his own family to consider
I do feel sorry for Harry because he’s done this and he didn’t have to - he’s got very low emotional intelligence to think anything good could come of it

Maybe they can have something cordial in the future but that’s the best can be hoped for

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 15/12/2022 16:02

As long as Harry continues to badmouth William via Netflix or wherever, knowing that William simply cannot respond in detail to his accusations, I doubt that any rapprochement will be possible.

daretodenim · 15/12/2022 16:09

I think the problem is trust and humiliation. You can get over someone being horrible about you, even though it's hard. But trusting someone again is something else. And getting over humiliation is also hard.

So both feel both of those things, but what Harry's done was deliberate pay back for what he feels was done to him by W. I'm not sure it's even sensible to try and reconcile with someone who can do that.

ShamedBySiri · 15/12/2022 16:18

I highly doubt it. My b-I-l and his brother fell out (over money, they were business partners) his name is never mentioned. He may as well be dead. And tbh if I was William that's how it would be for me. I'd never want to speak to him again. Unfortunately for W it'll be a very long time before he can pick up a newspaper or turn on the TV without seeing H grinning out at him.

DrMarciaFieldstone · 15/12/2022 16:19

No, who could trust them ever again? They’ve been filming everything from the start; long before they said they were dealing with Netflix. This was always their intention.

DrMarciaFieldstone · 15/12/2022 16:20

In any case, you don’t need to stay in touch with people you don’t get on with, just because they are family.

NC is the best outcome in a lot of cases. I’m

Sugarfree23 · 15/12/2022 16:21

Not while Harry is with Megan. I don't think they will split now, but if they do then they will absolutely rip each other to shreds

pelargoniums · 15/12/2022 16:23

Maybe. But I think it’s all on William to undo the damage, tbh.

I mean who could have imagined during the Charles/Diana split that Camilla would stage a comeback and be embraced as Queen, yet here we are.

Sweetpeasaremadeforbees · 15/12/2022 16:29

No I don't think so, not in the near future anyway. I actually hope that M and H are happy together because I don't know what would happen if they split.

WhatsTheEffingPoint · 15/12/2022 16:31

I'm one of three siblings, who were all very close, we never thought anything would come between us.

3yrs ago the middle sibling made a series of extremely poor life choices that have blown apart our family. I think I have spoken possibly 10 words to her since the day everything fell apart, the oldest sibling has spoken to her more but no where near how we all used to be.

To me things are broken now and they can't be fixed, too much has happened for things to go back to how they were or any sense of normal. There would always be an undertone of what happened and how things played out.

So I can understand completely why William wouldn't want to kiss and make up. Trust has been broken/manipulated and it never fully comes back. Yes it's sad but it's a consequence of actions.

If they split my guess is Harry would have therapy, an image revamp and be back as a working royal.

Meanwhile they'd try to trash each others image. Destroying a absolutely destroying each other in the process.
