But Charles is a more forgiving man. <\/p>\n<p>However, Harry&#8217;s brother William, 43, is not. The siblings remain deeply estranged and made no effort to reconnect during Harry&#8217;s four-day visit to the U.K. this week. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;William feels the monarchy has to move forward with a smaller, tighter unit. He believes that means phasing out Harry and Meghan completely and stripping away their last traces of royal privilege, including their HRH titles and their children&#8217;s titles,&#8221; spilled a source. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He sees a future where it&#8217;s him, Kate, their kids, and a handful of working royals. Harry and Meghan <a href=\"https:\/\/radaronline.com\/p\/prince-william-to-phase-out-harry-and-meghan-markle-from-monarchy\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">just don&#8217;t fit into that vision<\/a> anymore,&#8221; the insider continued.<\/p>\n<p>Middleton isn&#8217;t entirely on the same page as her husband.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She worries William might regret going too far. Kate&#8217;s instincts are to protect relationships and leave a door open. But she&#8217;s realistic, too. If the decision is to cut Harry out completely, she knows there&#8217;s no coming back from that,&#8221; the source claimed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Charles and Prince Harry had their first in-person meeting in 19 months amid fears for the king&#8217;s health.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":420645,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[143887,1500,7709,7730,7731,1760,3611,30707,92681,7710,519],"class_list":{"0":"post-420644","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-dying-king-charles-summons-prince-harry-as-monarchy-faces-succession-showdown-with-william-this-isnt-about-reconciliation","9":"tag-breaking-news","10":"tag-british-royal-family","11":"tag-charles","12":"tag-charles-iii","13":"tag-king-charles","14":"tag-local-news","15":"tag-newsbreak","16":"tag-radaronline","17":"tag-royal-families","18":"tag-royal-family"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115196084305524071","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/420644","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=420644"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/420644\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/420645"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=420644"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=420644"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=420644"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
