2 Harry First Seemed Open to It
Low claims that William sent Harry a message on WhatsApp. Harry first seemed open to the meeting. However, then he asked who would know about it.
3 Harry Was Afraid It Would Get Leaked to the Press
“William explained that he’d have to clear his schedule, which would mean telling his private secretary,” she explained. However, Harry was turned off. “At that point, Harry told him: Don’t come.”
4 It Was “Heartbreaking”
“He was so concerned that William’s team would leak the visit to the Press that he would rather not see his brother than risk it getting into the papers,” she continued. “To everyone who knew what was going on, this was heartbreaking.”
5 The Queen’s Death Would Have Been the Perfect Place for a Reconciliation
The brothers have been at odds ever since. Some experts maintain that the death of the Queen would have been the perfect setting for reconciliation. “I think it’s very sad [that] in the days Harry was here, there was an opportunity given they were just a couple of hundred yards away from each other for a meeting or dinner or gathering of some sort where they could actually just try to thrash things out,” The New Royals author Katie Nicholl told Page Six.
