problems grow: Prince Harry and his brother William take another hit

An event could put the possible reconciliation between Prince William and Prince Harry to the test

Prince Harry and Prince William have been the center of attention in the British royal family for years. Their lives share many stages and stories, and what has marked them the most has been their shared sadness. They used to be inseparable brothers; however, they have clearly grown apart, and Harry, with the statements in his book, could be responsible.

Nevertheless, a new family chapter could force them to share space at a time when all the press is focused on Harry and William. The weight of what has happened between them makes every encounter both a personal and institutional challenge. The question and expectations revolve around whether the meeting could bring about the desired reconciliation or, perhaps, push it further away.

A commitment that draws attention

Peter Phillips, Princess Anne's son, announced his engagement to Harriet Sperling after a year of dating. Harriet, an NHS nurse, has already attended high-profile events like Royal Ascot, where she was seen talking with King Charles. Although the wedding date hasn't been set, the announcement was received with joy by much of the royal family.

Peter keeps a close relationship with both William and Harry, which creates a complicated scenario. Former royal correspondent Jennie Bond noted that "it would be awkward to invite them both," although she doesn't rule out a surprise on the final guest list.

In delicate moments, Peter has been a bridge between the brothers. For example, at Prince Philip's funeral, he walked between them to ease the tension.

A recent past between William and Harry that weighs heavily

At Lord Fellowes's funeral, Peter's uncle, William and Harry were both present, but they didn't speak to each other. This precedent fuels the possibility that a reunion at a wedding could be just as cold. For this reason, some suggest an intimate civil ceremony to avoid unnecessary discomfort.

Peter, who is 47 years old, was married to Autumn Kelly for 12 years and has two daughters, Savannah and Isla. After their separation, he kept a relationship with Lindsay Wallace before starting his romance with Harriet. The wedding promises to be a happy moment, but also a test of how the family faces their differences in public.
