Prince William's Feelings About Prince Harry Are 'Hardening' Rather Than 'Softening'

William, Prince of Wales, is certainly not 'softening' his views on his brother, Prince Harry, and in fact, his attitude about his rebellious sibling is 'hardening.'

Prince Harry was reportedly "open" to the idea of visiting Prince William when he sat with a sick King Charles III, but the heir to the throne was not interested. In fact, one royal journalist spilled that William's attitude toward his younger brother is "hardening" as time goes by — not "softening."

"The King was very wise," veteran royal reporter Michael Cole shared. "He always made it clear that his son was loved and would always be welcomed, but quite clearly he doesn't approve of the things he's been doing.

The journalist then cut a sharp contrast when discussing the latest royal drama when he stated: "The relationship that Harry now has with his older brother William is appalling. And I think Prince Williams's attitude towards his younger brother is hardening rather than softening. So there's no possibility at all of any sort of rapprochement. Interestingly, a poll of British people gave Prince William an approval rating of 74 percent."

He continued: "It also revealed that 66 percent, or two-thirds, of the British people dislike Meghan Markle. I think those two figures tell you a great deal."

Cole then added how, "A recent poll in America showed a remarkable result: that Prince William was the most popular man in the world. The approval rating that Catherine, Princess of Wales, has is something like 35 percent. That's a very high margin. So there's no doubt who's winning the public relations war."

Cole observed: "And it's not the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in their California Camelot on a hilltop with their rescue chickens and lots of celebrity friends telling them they're wonderful and that they do no wrong."

The reporter then cast doubt on the hyped reunion leading to any type of "welcome home" moment — even with the monarch battling a serious disease. "Apart from collecting 11,000 air miles, it's difficult to see what was achieved by this flight over the pole, to see his father, that couldn't have been achieved by a 45-minute video call such as the one I'm having with you now. It is customary in the royal family for male members to greet each other with a kiss on the cheek."

Cole concluded: "Now that could not possibly have happened because the King is undergoing treatment for cancer, and, as many people watching this program will know, infection has to be avoided during treatment of cancer. So there was no question of the King embracing his prodigal son when he returned to Clarence House, the official residence of the King in London."

Numerous reports are now suggesting that the Prince of Wales and Duke of Sussex will "likely never" heal their rift, and it will get "exponentially worse" upon the King's death and William's eventual accession to the throne.
