Sources previously told PEOPLE that Harry’s attempts to connect with his brother — through texts, calls, and messages — are ignored.

The rift with Prince William is “very bad,” said a royal insider, but it’s not “irreparable.”

It’s been widely reported that the discord between Harry and William began in 2016 after William expressed concerns about how quickly Harry was moving in his relationship with Meghan Markle. The tension was first publicized in 2020 when Harry and Meghan, who wed in 2018, announced their exit from royal duties.

The last time Harry and William publicly reunited was in May 2023 at King Charles’ coronation. However, the brothers reportedly did not interact with one another there either.

Most recently, Harry and King Charles were said to have had a positive meeting in February after King Charles’ cancer diagnosis. However, communication since then has reportedly deteriorated. Harry’s close friends previously said that King Charles is no longer taking his calls.

At the same time, Harry is said to have concerns over the safety of Meghan and their children, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3, and according to sources, has repeatedly asked his father for help.
