Prince William's response to Prince Harry's supportive text messages was not the “warm and informal” reaction one would expect between siblings, a royal expert has claimed.

Royal author Tom Quinn said: mirror“Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan have been in contact with Prince William, but their private messages have been merely messages of sympathy, suggesting that the brothers should reconcile and put the past behind them, or that Prince Harry will soon return to the UK.” It did not include any suggestions that it should.

“There's just too much discomfort for that. Prince William is still hurt by Prince Harry's previous comments and responded to this, but the reaction was very orchestrated by the palace and he was told by his brother It's hardly the warm, informal reaction you'd expect from a sibling.

“It's similar to the kind of communication that would take place between two somewhat wary diplomats.”

The Sussexes have had a strained relationship ever since they announced they would step down as senior working royals in 2020. The couple later made a series of revelations about the royal family in an interview with Oprah Winfrey and in her autobiography.

Parents Alistair and Heather James said: “We are thinking of Kate, William and their family and send them all our love.

“Deborah would be so proud. The Princess of Wales has shown incredible courage to speak out so publicly about her treatment.

“It takes great courage to do so, but her courage will help millions of cancer patients and their families fight this terrible disease.

“Additionally, by being so open and honest, Duchess Kate will no doubt encourage even more people living with potential cancer symptoms to seek medical help. , she will save lives.”

The couple added: “If Deborah were here to send a message to Kate, Duchess of Wales, she would tell the Princess of Wales to hold on to her rebellious hopes.

“Deborah believed strongly in the power of hope, and given how many times she had overcome the odds of survival, defiant hope became her mantra.

“There is no doubt that her positive mindset has helped her move forward and provided us with precious memories of our five years together.”
