Prince William Is Now 'Absolutely Intent' That His Relationship With Prince Harry 'Will Heal In Time,' Shares Source
Despite the current turmoil, Prince William is "absolutely intent" that his relationship with his younger brother, Prince Harry, "will heal in time," shared an insider.
During Harry's tell-all, he told Oprah Winfrey that he and his sibling had a falling out after he stepped down from the royal family, adding that even though he'll always "love him," the two were currently giving each other "space" since they're on "different paths."
But it looks like their time apart is helping the siblings put things into perspective.

"Once he got over the anger of how things happened, he was left with the absence of his brother," the insider told The Sunday Times. "They shared everything about their lives, an office, a foundation, meetings together most days and there was a lot of fun along the way. He'll miss it forever."
Though it's been reported that William was furious with Harry and Meghan Markle for mentioning his wife, Kate Middleton, in their TV interview, a second source claims the father-of-three is actually the most "upset" over something the couple did last year.
When the pair stepped down from the family, they revealed they would also be launching a nonprofit organization, and they went out of their way to address using the term "royal."

"While there is not any jurisdiction by The Monarchy or Cabinet Office over the use of the word 'Royal' overseas, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex do not intend to use 'Sussex Royal' or any iteration of the word 'Royal,'" their message read.

"That was it for William," said the source. "He felt they'd blindsided the Queen in such an insulting and disrespectful way."
Since Harry and Meghan's tell-all aired, the siblings have spoken briefly.
"Harry has talked to his brother and he has talked to his father too," TV anchor Gayle King revealed. "The word I was given was that those conversations were not productive. But they are glad that they have at least started a conversation."
According to the source, William and their father, Prince Charles, have grown closer in wake of the scandals.
"At William's wedding there was a gag in one of the speeches that he was more like his father than he'd ever admit, which made a lot of us laugh. As their respective destinies get closer, it weighs more heavily on them and strengthens the bond," the source added. "The rift with Harry has also brought them closer."
