Revealed: Prince William ‘hasn’t spoken to Harry in two years and doesn’t want him at his coronation’

 

Prince William has no plans to invite younger brother Harry to his coronation when the time comes, insiders say.

Although they used to be close, it is believed the royal brothers have not spoken in nearly two years and are ‘estranged’, which a close friend described as ‘dreadfully sad’.

Friends of the Prince of Wales, 42, reported that William does not want Harry, 39, to be in attendance when he is crowned King.

A source close to William told The Sunday Times: ‘This year his focus has very much been on his wife, his children and his father. His brother isn’t really something that’s discussed.’

Both the Princess of Wales and the King were diagnosed with cancer earlier this year.

Harry and Meghan allegedly learnt of Kate’s diagnosis at the same time as the general public – when she announced it to the world in a heart-wrenching video message filmed in the gardens at Windsor.

Despite living over 5,000 miles away in their $14.65million Montecito mansion, a source close to Harry and Megan said they reached out privately to the Waleses to wish them well but the contact was not reciprocated.

As well documented in his bestselling memoir Spare, Harry feels scorned by members of the royal family, including his own brother.

The siblings are not thought to have spoken since their grandmother Queen Elizabeth’s funeral in September 2022.

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan are currently on a four-day ‘faux-royal’ tour of Colombia.

With an excess of armed police in tow, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have visited schools, planted trees and participated in drum lessons.

Meanwhile the Prince and Princess of Wales faced off against their children in a Nerf battle at the Gone Wild festival at Holkham Hall in Norfolk.

Excitable and ‘unforgettable’ Louis ran around yelling ‘Nerf or nothing, let’s do this!’, according to Norfolk Nerf Parties boss Georgina Barron.

The Princess of Wales, who is undergoing treatment for cancer, even ‘grabbed a Nerf gun, ran around, and played stuck in the mud with her kids’, Ms Barron added, noting that hosting the family was the ‘biggest honour’.
