Prince Harry’s ‘tense stance’ hints at deep rift with William only Meghan can help solve

Prince Harry has been warned he must change the “tense” stance he adopts when on outings with Prince William to but an end to the rough patch the brothers have been struggling through. The Duke of Sussex last month appeared to confirm rumours of a rift with the Duke of Cambridge when he admitted to being on “different paths” compared to his brother and his wife Kate, Duchess of Cambridge. Royal expert Dickie Arbitersuggested Harry should “sort himself out” and choose what role he wants to play within the Royal Family to help mend his relationship with William as he claimed Meghan Markle could play a significant role in reuniting the siblings. 

Speaking to Nine News Australia, the former Queen’s spokesman said: “I don’t think the animosity goes as far a Catherine but, certainly, there’s a rift between the brothers.

“The body language when they are together is not the best of body languages so it’s something he’s got to sort out.

“Hopefully, Meghan will help him sort it out. If you saw her on Sunday, on Remembrance Day and the day before at the Festival of Remembrance, she was very relaxed and very calm. Harry looked tense and only she can help him resolve that.”

William and Harry stepped out together for the first time since July to attend the celebrations of Remembrance weekend with other senior members of the Royal Family but other than standing at each others’ side when laying wreaths at the Cenotaph, they were not spotted interacting.

Mr Arbiter suggested choosing what role he wants to have now that he has a new family would help Harry resolve the tension he and William have showcased over the past year.

The Prince lamented the pressure he and Meghan Markle have faced because of public scrutiny intensifying after they tied the know in May 2018. Speaking to ITV in a documentary filmed during his tour of African nations in September, Harry voiced his concern about the growing attention his wife was facing and warned it could have the same devastating impact it had on his mother Diana.

The royal commentator continued: “They’ve got to sort themselves out because this can’t go on forever. Harry has got to sort himself out, he’s got to decide what is it he wants to do.

“There’s a lot of talks, of speculation, on whether he’s going to drop out of being a member of the Royal Family. He’s a prince, he was born a prince and he’ll die a prince, there’s no way he can escape from that.

“Does he want to back out of the Royal Family or not have to do royal engagements? There are a lot of implications for that. Does he lose his line of succession? Only an act of Parliament can do that, he can’t suddenly say, ‘I don’t want to be in the line of succession anymore’.”

Mr Arbiter added: “There’s a lot of ifs and buts at the moment – he’s got to sort himself out, he’s got to sort his relationship out with his brother.”

Concerns about the relationship between Harry and William further intensified after Buckingham Palace announced the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had decided not to spend the Christmas holiday at Sandringham with the Queen and other members of the family.

While William and Kate also spent the Christmas break with the Middletons, the announcement turned heads due to the recent interview Meghan and Harry gave while on tour.

Royal author Angela Levin also suggested the decision to spend the holidays in Los Angeles with Meghan’s mum Doria Ragland was also due to the hardship the Duchess said to feel in adapting to her new position in the Royal Family. 

Ms Levin said: “Perhaps one of the last things you want to do is go somewhere in the UK which is bleak and cold with a whole load of family.

“It’s very demanding, it’s very regimented over Christmas.

“You know, you can’t eat after the Queen stops eating, you can’t go to bed unless the Queen has gone to bed. Everything is absolutely on time.

“I think if you are tense anyway it’s quite difficult.”
