Prince William Reportedly Taking “Tough” Stance On Keeping Prince Andrew & Prince Harry Out Of The Royal Fold
Since becoming the Prince of Wales, Prince William has taken on more Royal responsibilities; however, his vision for the family may mean excluding Prince Andrew and Prince Harry from duties, moving forward.
BBC’s Royal Correspondent, Jennie Bond recently told an outlet that William has always had a “strong character”, noting that his childhood made him “resolute” and “tough”. She also adds that he now has a reputation of being stubborn; once he has made up his mind, he sticks to it.
Prince William’s “Tough” Stance Prince Harry’s Actions
With both Kate Middleton and King Charles fighting their respective cancer diagnoses, the Prince of Wales has taken on a more leadership role. Bond states, “He is definitely someone who commands respect within the family and whose views hold considerable sway.
Obviously, as heir to the throne, his word carries a lot of weight in the family and I think it’s true that he has been prepared to take a tough stand on a number of issues, including [Princes] Andrew and Harry.”
Ok! Magazine has reported that William won’t likely make room for his younger brother Harry to come back to the Royal Family fold during this time.
Hilary Fordwich, a Royal expert recently noted to an outlet that “It is widely known within the family that Prince William has laid down an absolute ban on Harry returning in any way, shape or form into his former Royal family fold.”
Harry has stated in the past, he wants “a family, not an institution”; however, his move to the United States has clearly created a wedge between him and the Royals.
Could Anyone Change Prince Williams’ Mind?
Fordwich goes on to say, “If anyone will relent, it would be King Charles III, whom, of course, Prince William won’t challenge, who still misses his ‘darling boy’ and would like to see more of Prince Harry.
However, to this day, after the release of Spare and the Netflix serial, as well as with everything else Harry has said, done, and not done, it’s Prince William who adamantly refuses to even speak to his brother.”
As a refresher, Harry claimed his brother William physically assaulted him in his book, Spare.
