Prince Harry and Prince William will reconcile in the near future.
The brothers have been estranged ever since the Duke of Sussex and his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, quit as senior royals and gave a tell-all interview about their issues with Royal Family in 2020 but a close pal of Harry, 41, believes they will soon patch up their relationship.
Alex Rayner, who has remained close with Harry ever since they took part in a North Pole charity trek together in 2012, told the Daily Mail’s Eden Confidential column: “As soon as the opportunity presents itself, we’ll see a wonderful embrace between the two brothers. Absolutely.
“I would hope [it will take place in the next few months]. Certainly, if not by the end of the year, then next. They’ll hug in the not-too-distant future.”
Harry recently enjoyed an hour-long meeting with his father King Charles, 76, during a solo visit to the UK, without Meghan or their children Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four.
And, while Charles and Harry’s relationship has also been strained, particularly since the release of Harry’s tell-all book Spare in 2023, Alex insisted their bond is “indestructible”.
He said: “A rift between father and son is never that big. A father’s love for his son is pretty indestructible.”
Following the meeting with his father, Harry – who now lives in California with his family – declared that he hopes to spend more time in Britain following a successful trip.
He told The Guardian newspaper: “Yes, I have enjoyed the week.
“I have always loved the UK and I always will love the UK. It’s been good to reconnect with the causes I am passionate about. I have been able to spend some time with people that I have known for so long. It is hard to do it from far away.”
