Prince William has reportedly been warned that his estranged brother Prince Harry’s possible return to the U.K. with Meghan Markle could create major challenges for the royal family.
Royal expert Tom Sykes shared the warning, saying Harry’s return could potentially create further tension between William and his father, King Charles.
“It’s going to represent huge challenges for William,” Sykes said.
“William is gonna have to figure out how he is going to respond to this,” he added, saying it may not be “sustainable” for the future king to continue refusing to meet or speak with his younger brother.
Harry and William are reportedly not on speaking terms because of their ongoing rift.
Sykes questioned what could happen if King Charles invited Harry to join the royal family for Christmas or if the Duke of Sussex wanted to attend the Remembrance Day celebrations.
He also raised questions about how William would react if King Charles publicly supported Harry by appearing alongside him.
“It’s a huge succession of challenges for William,” Sykes said.
The royal expert also predicted that Harry may seek his father’s support for the Invictus Games 2027, his international sporting event for wounded, injured and sick military personnel.
The outlet further reported that King Charles only learned about Meghan and Harry’s plans to move back to the U.K. on Sunday. However, Prince William reportedly has no plans to reconnect with Harry when he and Meghan return.
