There have been multiple reports of peace talks over 2025 and 2026, with olive branches extended from both sides.
However, in a surprising update, royal author Omid Scobie has reported that Prince William and Prince Harry’s relationship actually remains largely unchanged.
“Harry was still waiting for that moment of accountability from his brother — an opportunity to talk about many of the grievances that have built up to this point and be able to move on from that,” Scobie originally reported to PEOPLE in 2023.
And in a follow-up interview in 2026, Scobie has reported that “nothing has changed” regarding the brothers’ fallout and relationship.
“The expectations and wants and wishes of Prince Harry are exactly the same as they were then – and none of them have been met,” Scobie reported, alleging that Prince Harry had made “repeated attempts” to reconcile.
In his best-selling memoir, Prince Harry details his life behind closed doors at the Palace – and his shocking decision to leave it all behind.
