Royal Rift 'Couldn't Be Worse,' Russell Myers Says of William and Harry

A royal commentator promoting a new William–Catherine biography says reconciliation looks distant given the Waleses’ focus on their children, the king’s health, Catherine’s recent treatment.

Overview

  • Russell Myers told A Right Royal Podcast the princes’ relationship "couldn't be worse" and said "it's done," with only a faint possibility of improvement in the future.
  • Myers framed any rapprochement as a low priority as Prince William and Princess Catherine concentrate on raising their three children, including George’s move to secondary school, and on family health concerns.
  • Recent reporting echoes little sign of a thaw, with insiders describing tensions as persistently cold.
  • The rupture widened after Harry left royal duties in 2020 and was intensified by the 2022 Netflix series and his 2023 memoir, in which he also discussed past confrontations.
  • Myers’ new book, William and Catherine: An Intimate Inside Story, revisits flashpoints such as fallout from the 2019 South Africa documentary and includes a source disputing the severity of the altercation Harry described in Spare.
