According to The Mirror, the once inseparable brothers have had a “complete and utter breakdown of communication” since Harry decided to forge his own path with wife Meghan Markle.
The royal source told The Mirror that Harry and Meghan invited the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to their new home Frogmore Cottage, on Easter Sunday, where they “had tea and chatted for 30 minutes.”
The meeting was on the advice of Kate, who asked Harry to offer William an “olive branch.”
The Palace source said, “The Duchess and Harry have developed a very close bond over the years.
“Kate is acutely aware of the importance of William and Harry getting along, not just because of perception but their collective responsibility to the monarchy as a whole.
“Harry has acted as counsel to his brother throughout William and Kate’s more turbulent years, and the three of them had gone on to form the most tremendous partnership.”
Another source said of the “disastrous” falling out, “There is a very real fear that if the princes do not repair their relationship, it may reach a point where it is too late.“Not only would that be hugely damaging to them and their families, it would be potentially catastrophic as we move into the most revealing era for the royals.
“They are the future of the monarchy, its standing in Britain, throughout the Commonwealth and the world.”
