Prince Harry wanted to meet his brother during his UK trip, but Prince William’s priority was.

The fractured relationship between Prince Harry and Prince William continues to dominate headlines. Harry’s recent visit to the United Kingdom to see his ailing father, King Charles, gave rise to the potential reconciliation of the family but the lack of interaction between brothers is “hurtful.” A new report reflecting on the Duke of Sussex’s bond with his estranged family suggests that there was no interaction between the brothers, despite Harry’s attempt to reach out to his brother Prince William.

The once-unbreakable bond between the royal brothers seems to be fraying at the edges. While the Duke of Sussex has openly expressed his interest in reconciling with the family, it appears that his brother Prince William is not very welcoming to the decision. According to a report by PEOPLE, during his brief visit to the UK to meet his ailing father, Harry reached out to William, but there were “no plans” to meet, as stated by a palace source at the time of the visit. A former courtier suggests that the Prince of Wales’ “principal concern is his wife,” Kate Middleton.

The report indicates that Prince William’s primary focus is on his wife, Kate Middleton, who recently underwent abdominal surgery. Despite this, Harry only spent 24 hours in his home country, choosing to briefly see his father without visiting his brother’s family. “It would be the normal run of things to go and see your sister-in-law who’s had a serious operation and also see your niece and nephews. But it isn’t normal. It’s terribly sad,” a source close to the Royal family told the outlet for their cover story. “
