Prince Harry has been at the centre of a number of Royal snubs in recent months, with experts now suggesting that his attempts to end his feud with the Royal Family are in doubt

Scepticism is mounting over Prince Harry’s chances of reconciling with the Royal Family, with a history of missed opportunities suggesting a murky future.

The Duke of Sussex has repeatedly found himself overlooked in Royal events, ranging from his absence on the guest list for June’s Trooping the Colour, to his unfulfilled wish to reconnect with King Charles III in May, and an apparent snub from the wedding of his close chum, the Duke of Westminster. According to Royal experts, these instances cast a long shadow across Harry’s endeavours to settle his familial quarrels.

Royal commentator Jennie Bond aired her doubts, remarking: “If Harry had really wanted to confront his family and patch things up, he would surely have allotted more time to his recent visits so that his father at least could make arrangements to see him.”

Bond also shared her thoughts on whether Prince William might extend a hand, speaking frankly with OK! magazine: “I don’t think there’s any chance of William wanting to do so, particularly with all he has on his plate right now. So, I’ll believe this when I see it, but it will be lovely if he could indeed spend some time, perhaps at Balmoral, during the summer and make peace with his father.”

Her comments follow recent revelations from Harry about the grieving process after the loss of his mother, Princess Diana. Admitting to “suppressing” his feelings, Harry was a mere 12 years old when tragedy struck as Diana died in a Paris car accident.

In a candid chat with Scotty’s Little Soldiers, a charity he passionately supports as a global ambassador, Harry shared: “It’s so easy as a kid to think or convince yourself….you convince yourself that the person you’ve lost wants you, or you need to be sad for as long as possible to prove to them that they are missed,” and added: “But then there’s this realisation of, no, they must want me to be happy.”

Delving into his personal journey, Harry continued: “That’s the hardest thing, especially for kids, I think, which is, ‘I don’t want to talk about it because it will make me sad’, but once realising that if I do talk about it, I’m celebrating their life, then actually, things become easier’ as opposed to this ‘I’m just not going to talk about it, and that’s the best form of coping’, when in fact it’s not.”

He conceded that it can provide temporary relief “for a period of time” but warned: “You can’t suppress it forever. It’s not sustainable. And will eat away at you inside,” he concluded: “No-one wants to be in the position where they are forced to talk about the very thing they don’t want to talk about, especially when every defence mechanism in your mind, nervous system and everything else is saying ‘do not go there’.”
