- Prince Harry didn't see Prince William and Kate Middleton during his recent trip to England.
- William and Kate didn't respond to any of Harry's outreach, and didn't initiate their own.
- There's "hope" the brothers might reconnect over the holidays.
Prince Harry and King Charles might be bonding over tea, but Prince William? Not having it. On top of being reportedly displeased by his brother's reunion with their dad, William and his wife, Kate Middleton, have ignored outreach from Harry.
"There has also been no direct communication between aides like there has been with Charles," a source tells Us Weekly. "William and Kate haven’t initiated or responded to outreach from Harry at all. They do need more time."
The source also says that "there is still ongoing tension with William and Kate. They are deeply hurt by the public disclosures, memoir revelations and interviews and criticisms of their roles, which they perceive as breaches of trust that require significant time to heal from, which is why they aren’t there yet."
Another insider notes that William is especially upset that Harry wrote about Kate in his book, Spare, saying, "There are lingering resentments of past conflicts, including Harry’s comments about Kate in his book. It left William guarded and needing more time to process before a face-to-face with Harry."
All that said, apparently there's "hope" that the brothers could meet for the first time over the holidays. "They will see how things pan out with what Charles and Harry discussed," the insider says. "One of the things was to keep his mouth shut and not talk to the press, and for Meghan to do the same. Once William and Kate can trust again, they may be able to come back into his life."
Fingers x'd!
