Prince William 'has absolutely no interest in speaking to Harry until he apologizes for attacks on the royal family', experts claim – after the Duke of Sussex dodged his brother during a whistle to see cancer-stricken King Charles

Prince William has absolutely no interest in speaking to Harry again until he apologizes for his high-profile attacks on the royal family, an expert has claimed, after they avoided each other during his whistle-stop visit to cancer-stricken King Charles.

The Duke of Sussex, 39, flew more than 5,000 miles from his home in California to London for what ended up being a 45-minute meeting with his father.

The Prince's transatlantic adventure had raised hopes that his return to Britain would be used to heal Charles' wounds and provide a chance to reach his brother Prince William, 41, amid their ongoing feud.

But he flew back to his home in Montecito after just one day in Britain – after it was suspected he had spent the night in a luxury hotel rather than a royal residence.

He did not see his brother at all during the visit, but an insider later claimed that the prince had “happily accepted” a reunion with his brother.

“William would be angry that Harry has once again chosen to turn this visit into a PR opportunity for his father,” said Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine. The sun.

'As far as William is concerned, he has absolutely no interest in talking to Harry until Harry acts like a gentleman and apologizes for the years of rudeness and insults he has leveled at William and the Princess of Wales.

'William must be privately furious when he thinks about how he has supported Harry all these years, and at this one moment in his life, when his 75-year-old father and his wife of 13 years are both potentially seriously ill, Harry can only thinking about Harry. using it as an opportunity to announce his arrival and expect William.”

The royal expert claimed Harry's immediate visit showed his “impulsive” nature was still key – and that his rush to Britain is “getting things moving” for William.

The Duke is now expected to join Meghan in Canada next week for an event to commemorate one year to the Invictus Games in Vancouver and Whistler.

The Prince of Wales is believed to remain focused on caring for his wife Kate, who is recovering from abdominal surgery and taking an extended leave of absence from public duties until after Easter.

Meanwhile, Harry has barely spoken to his father since Queen Elizabeth's death and it is reported that there was no contact as he celebrated his 39th birthday.

People close to Harry said he would welcome the chance to meet his brother, with an insider adding: 'The Duke's main reason for traveling to Britain is to visit his father. If the opportunity had arisen to see the Prince of Wales, the Duke would have gladly accepted it.'

Palace sources have said there were no plans for a meeting between Harry and William while the Duke of Sussex is in London.

As she waited for the Duke to return home, Meghan was photographed smiling yesterday as she drove around near the couple's home in California.

Harry and Meghan left their royal duties in 2020 and now live in California.

Royal expert Jennie Bond told MailOnline that Prince Harry's visit to Britain shows how deep the royal rift has actually become.

She claimed: 'William showed today that he has rejected Harry, that he doesn't want to know him, and that he probably doesn't even like him anymore. Harry is just not part of his life.

“That rift is so deep now, as evidenced by the fact that Harry is here and they don't meet, so deep that I really wonder if it can ever be repaired.”

And Robert Jobson told Mail+ that while Charles may have been touched by his “sweet boy's” gesture, it actually caused “some concern by 'taking it upon himself' to fly over uninvited.”

Charles, 75, was seen in public for the first time since his cancer diagnosis as he left his office at Clarence House after a brief reunion with Harry.

And the heir to the throne was back at work yesterday to support the king as his brother Harry left London.

Last night the Prince of Wales spoke for the first time about the King's cancer diagnosis, as he expressed his gratitude to the public for their 'kind expressions of support'.

William's words of praise, delivered at a fundraising gala dinner, also recognized those wishing the Princess of Wales well as she recovers from a planned abdominal operation.

He told the guests, “It means a lot to all of us.”

William had taken time off to support his family following Kate's surgery on January 16, returning to public duties once her care and recovery had been arranged.

But his first day back on duty came as the royal family was dealing with the health concerns surrounding his father, the head of state whose reign will pass the 17-month mark on Thursday.

William delivered his pre-dinner speech at the event, which raised money for London's Air Ambulance Charity's new helicopter fleet, where guests included Hollywood star Tom Cruise and Arsenal football club manager Mikel Arteta.

The Prince said: “I would like to take this opportunity to also thank you for the kind expressions of support extended to Catherine and to my father, especially in recent days. It means a lot to all of us.

'It's fair to say that the last few weeks have had quite a medical focus so I thought I'd head to an air ambulance unit to get away from it all.'

Weekly audiences between the King and Rishi Sunak are expected to resume in person within two weeks of Charles' cancer diagnosis.

Downing Street and Buckingham Palace took the unusual step on Wednesday of confirming details of a telephone conversation between the two, in a bid to show the king was continuing with his duties.

The Prime Minister wished Charles well in a brief telephone conversation before the formal in-person audience resumes on February 21.

Kate left hospital last Monday and returned to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor to be reunited with her three children, but the 42-year-old future queen is not expected to resume her official duties until after Easter.
