Prince Harry is ‘no longer mentioned’ by Prince William as the Royal Family rift enters a new stage. The brothers have not seen or spoken to each other since their grandmother’s funeral in September 2022.
A friend told the Times: “What has struck me the most recently is that he just doesn’t mention it at all.” The friend continued: “It used to be that the family stuff was taking up a lot of space in his head, it was a very close relationship and he was very upset.
“But he’s not letting it get to him at all any more. It is a change. It’s sad, but it’s a much healthier space for him to be at.”

A second source said of Prince William’s difficult year, which has seen him support Kate Middleton and King Charles III amid their caner battles: “When you’re going through a tough time like that and you’ve got a lot of tough choices to make in terms of protecting your family, the public support and having had the time to be a husband and father through it all was important.”
Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, former principal private secretary to William, Kate and Harry, told the publication: “I think it has demonstrated William’s character and his courage – he’s had to take the whole thing in his stride and shown that he won’t be pushed around.”
It comes 24 hours after the Prince of Wales has marked his 43rd birthday in a picture with his dog Orla and three of her puppies.
The photograph, taken by the Princess of Wales, was shared by Kensington Palace on William’s birthday on Saturday, with the caption: “Happy birthday! Love C, G, C, L, Orla and the puppies!”
One of the chocolate cocker spaniel puppies is being stroked by the Prince of Wales while their mother Orla is behind him.
