Prince William has had enough of betrayal in the royal family, an expert has said, after years of private conversations making their way into the public realm.

Prince William has reportedly said there isn’t any chance his younger brother can return to the fold of The Firm, after it was claimed the Duke of Sussex would be up for coming back temporarily. Sources claimed Prince Harry was willing to return in a temporary position to support the family following a string of health news. However, an insider claimed William, husband of Kate Middleton, told his friends he was ‘angry’ over Harry spilling the royal family secrets since he left in 2020. Now, a royal commentator has said the Queen and other members being ‘blindsided’ by royal family dirty laundry being aired in public, is enough.

Can Prince William forgive and forget after the ‘betrayal’?

Richard Fitzwilliams was asked if Harry and Meghan’s ventures over the past four years have ‘gone too far’. This includes their Netflix docuseries, Oprah Winfrey’s tell-all interview

Richard said: “We all know, it’s a very difficult time, as millions in the country are left with this disease.

“The King having cancer, with Catherine unwell, all of this is a pressurized time for the royal family but the time when Prince William is thinking of, the way he is behaving and I say this, with great sadness as I’m sure what he’s thinking, four years of betrayal”.

Fitzwilliams listed: “Blindsiding the Queen in 2020 originally, then subsequently cooperating with the book Finding Freedom, then Oprah – which did some damage to the monarchy – and then Netflix and subsequently Spare, and attacks on Catherine, it doesn’t fit the mold.”

He added: “It meant the King, the most tolerant of souls, had them thrown out of Frogmore Cottage. There is simply, isn’t, very sadly, even in crisis, you must cohere, you can’t with people you don’t trust – and trust is the essence”.

‘Cutting family ties’ isn’t in their nature

Despite the royal expert’s commentary, Fahima Mahomed, relationship coach, says there isn’t a true scenario where Prince William would consider cutting family ties with Harry and Meghan Markle – even after the ‘betrayal’.

“They do represent, they do have to present unity for the county, for themselves, and for the institute,” Fahima said. “At the end of the day, if Prince Harry has reached out an olive branch, it’s an open door for it to be some sort reconciliation.

“It’s healthy”.

But she was asked about their long list of public interviews about The Firm, and how they didn’t shed a good light.

“I understand with family feuds, people make mistakes,” Fahima added. “They’ve already lost their mom, they’ve grown up together, regardless of what their relationship was, now is the time for reconciliation.

“Families need to stick together at this time and build this trust, and if there is a chance to do that, it’s needed now, especially King Charles in his situation”.

Fahima declared the Duke and Duchess of Sussex shouldn’t be ‘cut out’ of the family.

She said people should forget Meghan Markle, saying the royal feud is about the siblings.

Meghan and Harry didn’t seek ‘reconciliation’ with her father

News anchor Susanna Reid brought up how Thomas, Meghan Markle’s dad, was in hospital with a heart attack, amid other health woes since, but it appears the couple haven’t reconciled with him either.

She asked the guests if they didn’t patch things up with the actress’ father, what can the couple expect from across the Atlantic now King Charles is fighting cancer.

Fahima replied: “In fact, [William] needs to stand up to be the bigger person, he is going to be there, running and playing the role for the UK.

“He should be a role model for other families.”

Richard retorted: “It wasn’t just four years of betrayal that led [Prince] William to apparently the brothers not speaking for months, it’s most particularly as well, his safeguarding, not just his family… but the monarchy. He knows very well the Sussexes are absolutely ruthless, they’re entitled, when it comes to publicity”.
