The “long-term solution” to the rift between Prince Harry and Prince William is for the Sussex to “enjoy the freedom of America” while the Cambridges dedicate their lives to duty, a royal expert has said.
Prince Harry, 36, and Meghan Markle, 39, currently reside at their $ 14 million mansion in Santa Barbara with their one-year-old son Archie, who had retired from service in March ‘last year.
Speaking to Elle.com, Royal Biographer Robert Lacey said he thought “there will be a kind of reconciliation” between the Duke of Sussex and the Duke of Cambridge this year.
But he said the brother’s relationship “will never be the same,” and explained, “I hope this is the long-term solution: the duty in the form of William and Kate will take over the situation and Harry and his love will enjoy the freedom of America and, I hope, there will obviously be some kind of reconciliation ”.

Robert said his brother’s long “history and texture” would always be there, suggesting they both “took something different” from their parents ’marital breakup.
The royal expert explained that the Duke of Cambridge had found “strength” in his duty, saying, “At least he had that duty, that responsibility of being king, the future monarch, and he had to live up to it.”
Meanwhile, he said Prince Harry “took a different lesson” from the relationship, adding that the duke “would go for love … without forgiveness.”
He added: “Her parents were locked in a arranged and loveless marriage, and she will not make that mistake.”
Prince Harry, 36, and Meghan Markle, 39, are currently living in their $ 14 million mansion in California, after retiring from royal duty in March.
It is believed that the trigger that caused the break-up between William and Harry was when the Duke of Cambridge advised his younger brother to “take things slowly” when he started dating Meghan Markle in 2017.
Relationships became so sour that they apparently didn’t talk for weeks after Harry’s wedding, where William was the best man. Then the Megxit and the way it was handled left William and Charles devastated.
In a documentary released in 2019 – Harry and Meghan: An African Journey – the Duke of Sussex, admitted that he and William “are certainly different paths at the moment”.
He told ITV’s Tom Bradby, “Inevitably things happen. But we’re brothers, we’ll always be brothers.”
During the blockade, a source told Fabulous Digital that the brothers have been chatting through Zoom.
“William finds Zoom a good casual way to keep in touch, and some would say ‘tabs’ to his little brother,” they said, adding that calls remain private between the two brothers, with a close friend of the couple who William says he is “very anxious” to keep the calls “discreet and informal.”
Meanwhile, there are hopes that the presentation of the new statue of Princess Diana at Kensington Palace this summer will “help heal old wounds” for the brothers.
A statement on behalf of the Duke of Sussex and the Duke of Cambridge published by Kensington Palace in August said: “The statue that Prince William and Prince Harry have commissioned to commemorate his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales , will be installed next year would have been its 60th anniversary.
The couples were last seen together in public in the Commonwealth Day service in March this year
The statue was commissioned to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of Princess Diana’s death and to recognize its positive impact in the UK and around the world.
Robert’s comments about the brother’s relationship come days after royal biographer Angela Levin claimed that Prince Harry has “ruled out life as a man of action to become a fairy lover” with a “life” awake from the west coast “.
Royal expert Angela, who wrote Harry: Conversations with the Prince in 2018, has claimed that the Duke has become a “shadow of his old self” since he moved to California.
Writing in The Sunday Telegraph, he said that while Prince Harry “refused to be” Prince William’s spare “, he seems to agree to be Meghan’s second.”
The biographer said Prince Harry’s recent appearances were “out of character” of the king he knew, who would instantly identify with everyone he spoke to.
