Prince Harry could be set to face a devastating blow once Prince William becomes King. Recent reports have suggested that the Duke of Sussex, 41, is keen on returning to the royal fold, while his brother is firmly against the idea. It is believed William and Harry have not spoken since 2022, when they both attended Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral. Their relationship had become strained in the years prior, when Harry stepped down from his role as a senior working royal and moved to California with his wife, Meghan Markle.

While King Charles is reportedly more open to the prospect of Harry returning to the Royal Family, it appears William does not share the same sentiment. Appearing on News24, formerly Sky News Australia, Mark Dolan has now speculated that William is waiting until he becomes King, at which point he will take “serious action” against his younger brother.

The TalkTV presenter said: “William does not consent to this return to the royal fold. Why? Because William has a memory, he’s got common sense, he’s got a heart and he cares about the monarchy.

“Prince Harry has defamed the Royal Family, damaged the UK to boot and William’s thinking, ‘Why are we forgiving this guy? Why are we bringing him into the royal fold?’

“It’s my understanding there are great tensions between the King and William. What you’re looking at with William, he’s the barrier to Harry properly returning, but he hasn’t got the King’s power because Charles is the head of the family.”

He added: “It’s only when William becomes King that we’ll see some serious action against Harry.”
