Prince William no longer feels the need for Prince Harry’s presence in his life, despite Harry’s recent attempt to extend an “olive branch” to the royal family, it has been reported. The Duke of Sussex is preparing to publish a paperback edition of his controversial memoir Replacementwhich will not include any updates or revisions to its original content.
The revelations in the bestselling book have further deepened the rift between the royal brothers, leaving their relationship strained and unresolved. Amid talk of reconciliation, the announcement of Britpop band Oasis’ reunion tour after a 15-year hiatus has sparked speculation that it could potentially “inspire Harry and William” to repair their fractured bond.
During a segment on GB NewsThe panel considered whether the band’s return could serve as a catalyst for the royal brothers to reconcile. However, commentator Paula London expressed scepticism, stating that Prince William “doesn’t need to get back with Harry” and dismissing the Oasis reunion as “solely about money”. London stated: “The only reason the Gallaghers are getting back together is for monetary gain. William doesn’t need to get back with Harry.”
He added:“In an ideal world, you should always be close to family members, but not everyone is. And as I say, if it wasn’t for money, Liam wouldn’t be getting back together with Noel.” Reflecting on the royal family’s feud, commentator Emma Woolfe shared her hope that “one day” the brothers might reconcile, but acknowledged that Harry’s memoirs have complicated matters.
“A lot of the things Harry said in Replacement “It’s almost unforgivable. But is it unforgivable? That’s something we can’t really know,” Woolfe said. GB NewsWoolfe remains optimistic, adding: “Harry is in a phase at the moment where he is living on the West Coast, but hopefully in time they can get back together because they were very close.”
Presenter Isabel Webster drew parallels between the royal siblings and the Oasis brothers, suggesting that both William and Noel Gallagher had reached a point where they decided they “didn’t need him in their lives”. Webster noted: “They were close, but they weren’t inseparable. You can see in both sets of brothers which one is the difficult one, can’t you?”
She continued: “Noel presumably just tolerated it for a while, and then he was like, ‘I don’t need this in my life,’ same with William. He thought, ‘Harry is the fun one,’ to the point where he crossed the line.” As the situation remains tense, it is not certain whether the royal brothers will find a way to repair their relationship or if the rift will continue to widen.
