The 42 year old Duke is rumoured to have severed all interaction with Harry and Meghan after their consistent public criticisms of the Royal Family.
Harry recently conceded in a BBC interview that “some members of my family will never forgive me” for penning his tell-all book Spare.

However, it has now come to light that William is slated to grace Clarkson’s Farm with a guest spot, following controversial remarks by host Jeremy Clarkson about Meghan Markle two years ago.
As The Times recently reported: “Prince William features in the next-but-one series of Clarkson’s Farm.”
The revelation that William has made a cameo appearance on Clarkson’s Farm comes two and a half years after Jeremy became the subject of widespread condemnation for a column he wrote about Meghan, which was eventually withdrawn by its publisher.
In December 2022, Jeremy authored a scathing piece for The Sun in which he expressed an intense dislike for Prince Harry’s wife “on a cellular level”, also fantasising about people hurling excrement at her “when she is made to parade naked through the streets of every town in Britain”.
Recognising his error, Jeremy took to Twitter to apologise for what he described as “a clumsy reference to a scene in Game of Thrones,” admitting that it “has gone down badly with a great many people.”
His words sparked immediate outrage, leading to The Sun taking down the controversial article from its site.
Following more than 25,000 complaints to Ipso – the Independent Press Standards Organisation – the piece was adjudged sexist by the media watchdog.
Both Jeremy and The Sun expressed remorse, with the newspaper issuing a heartfelt apology.
Yet the veracity of Clarkson’s supposed apologies to both Meghan, aged 43, and Prince Harry, aged 40, were called into question by the duo’s spokesperson.
In an announcement in January 2023, the representative clarified, “On December 25, 2022, Mr. Clarkson wrote solely to Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex. The contents of his correspondence were marked Private and Confidential.
“While a new public apology has been issued today by Mr. Clarkson, what remains to be addressed is his long-standing pattern of writing articles that spread hate rhetoric, dangerous conspiracy theories and misogyny,” the statement read.
“Unless each of his other pieces were also written ‘in a hurry,’ as he states, it is clear that this is not an isolated incident shared in haste but rather a series of articles shared in hate.”
