Prince Harry’s Shocking Condition for Returning as a Royal: What He Demands from William

Prince Harry is currently focused on making a successful life for himself in the US. However, he might consider coming back to the royal family only if one condition is met.

Reports say that Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex, will not return as a working royal unless his brother, Prince William, apologizes to him.

Prince Harry remains committed to his decision to step away from royal duties and feels satisfied with that choice. However, he is open to taking on a temporary role within the royal family if King Charles III makes the request.

However, friends have told *The Mirror* that Prince Harry is aware of Prince William’s attitude towards him. The brothers have reportedly not spoken to each other for months and remain distant. They even avoided contact during their uncle Lord Fellowes’ funeral in Norfolk last month, even though they were both in the same room.

Additionally, reports have emerged that Prince William believes there is no chance of reconciliation after Prince Harry released his memoir, *Spare*.

Despite the ongoing tensions, Prince Harry seems to be moving forward without seeking his brother’s approval. According to *The Mirror*, he has reconnected with former trusted advisors and old friends to develop a plan for possibly reintegrating into UK social circles in the future.

While returning to royal duties isn’t Harry’s main focus right now, he’s open to helping if needed. This could be useful given the recent challenges Charles and Prince William have faced, including their extended breaks for cancer treatment.

According to *The Mirror*, Harry is interested in improving his relationship with King Charles, especially due to the King’s recent health issues. However, Harry would still want an apology from Prince William before agreeing to represent the royal family in any role.

In past interviews, Harry hinted that some events involving his brother and father were left out of his memoir. He explained that he chose not to include these details to avoid further criticism and prevent causing lasting damage to family relationships.

Despite this, Harry acknowledged that his family was a crucial part of his story, making it hard to leave them out entirely.

He included some family details to give insight into the people in his life, but he knows that even these parts might be tough for his family to forgive.

Harry also said, “I’m willing to forgive everything that’s happened, and I wish you’d actually talked to me instead of calling me delusional and paranoid.”

He stressed the need for an honest conversation: “We need to sit down and talk properly. What I really want is some accountability and an apology to my wife.”

Even though he’s not on good terms with his brother, Harry still attends important family events. For example, on August 29, 2024, he made a discreet visit to the UK to attend the funeral of his late mother’s brother-in-law.

At the memorial service for their late uncle, Lord Robert Fellowes, both Prince Harry and his older brother, William, attended discreetly. Lord Fellowes passed away at the age of 82 in July.

While many people are pleased that the brothers reunited for the event, some are cautious about whether William should trust Harry again.

A local source confirmed that, despite their presence, the brothers did not speak to each other and kept their distance. “William and Harry were both there, but we never saw them talk, and they stayed apart,” the source said.

William and Harry were seated separately toward the back of St. Mary’s Church in Snettisham, Norfolk. Interestingly, while one close family friend confirmed both princes were there, another source mentioned they only saw Harry and William at the end of the service.

“I didn’t know they were there. They arrived very quietly,” said the source. However, once the public learned that Prince Harry and Prince William were in the same room, social media was flooded with comments.

Many people were excited to hear the news since the last time the brothers were seen together was over a year ago at their father’s coronation. Fans expressed their happiness, with one saying, “So happy for them 🙏🏼🙏🏼” and another writing, “Good for you Harry.”

Another fan commented, “If that’s true, I’m so glad and happy for the brothers. Blood is thicker than water. Bless them both.”

Someone else hoped that the funeral would help the brothers see how important family is and not regret missed opportunities to reunite. “I hope this funeral helps them realize how important family is and how quickly time can make reunions a regret,” they wrote.

A Facebook user brought Princess Catherine and the late Princess Diana into the conversation, saying, “It’s time for William and Kate to try a little harder to be nicer to Harry. They were always so close, and I know Diana would want them to remain close forever. X.”

Some comments on social media included questions like, “Private plane then?” and “How come he was allowed to go????”

While many people are happy to see the brothers together and hope they will make up, some are skeptical about Harry. One Facebook user warned, “Watch your back, Prince William,” and another said, “William is smarter than that. Harry cannot be trusted.”

It’s well known that William and Harry have had a difficult relationship for some time, filled with drama and tension. Reports have highlighted ongoing issues between them and other senior members of the royal family.

In July, it was reported that King Charles doesn’t answer calls or respond to letters from Harry. Efforts by Harry to repair his relationship with William have not been successful. Aside from Charles’s coronation, where Harry sat two rows behind William, the last time the brothers were seen together in a positive light was in September 2022.

When the Duke of Sussex came back to the UK in May for the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, he did not see his father or brother. Even though their relationship is still very strained, an insider said it is not beyond repair.

Since they were able to be in the same room together, there is hope that William and Harry might eventually resolve their issues.
