The “long-term solution” to the conflict between Prince Harry and Prince William is for the Sussex to “enjoy America’s freedom” while the Cambridges dedicate their lives to duty, said a royal expert.
Prince Harry, 36, and Meghan Markle, 39, are currently residing in their $ 14 million Santa Barbara mansion with their one-year-old son Archie, who resigned from service in March last year.
Speaking to Elle.com, royal biographer Robert Lacey said he thinks “there will be some kind of reconciliation” between the Duke of Sussex and the Duke of Cambridge this year.
But he said his brother’s relationship ‘will never be the same again’, explaining: ‘I hope this is the long-term solution here: duty in the form of William and Kate will take over the situation, and Harry and his love will enjoy the America’s freedom and, I hope, there will obviously be some kind of reconciliation. ‘

Robert said his brother’s long “history and texture” would always be there, suggesting that they both “took something different” from the breakdown of their parents’ marriage.
The royal expert explained that the Duke of Cambridge had found ‘strength’ in his duty, saying: ‘At least he had this duty, this responsibility to be king, the future monarch, and he had to do that.’
Meanwhile, he said that Prince Harry ‘took a different lesson’ from the relationship, adding that the duke would ‘fall in love … without excuse’.
He added: ‘His parents were imprisoned in an arranged and loveless marriage, and he will not make that mistake.’

The trigger that caused the breakup between William and Harry is believed to be when the Duke of Cambridge advised his younger brother to ‘take it slow’ when he started dating Meghan Markle in 2017.
The relations went so sour that they were not supposed to speak for weeks after Harry’s wedding, where William was the best man. So Megxit, and the way she was treated, left William and Charles devastated.
In a documentary in 2019 – Harry & Meghan: an African journey – the Duke of Sussex admitted that he and William are “certainly on different paths at the moment”.
He told Tom Bradby of ITV: ‘Inevitably, things happen. But we are brothers, we will always be brothers. ‘
During the blockade, a source told Fabulous Digital that the brothers have been talking via Zoom.
“William thinks Zoom is a good and informal way to keep in touch, and some would say ‘tabs’, about his younger brother,” they said, adding that the calls remain private between the two brothers, with a close friend of the couple claiming William is “very eager” to keep the calls “discreet and casual”.
Meanwhile, there is hope that the inauguration of the new Princess Diana statue at Kensington Palace this summer “will help heal old wounds” for the brothers.
A statement on behalf of the Duke of Sussex and the Duke of Cambridge issued by the Kensington Palace in August said: ‘The statue that Prince William and Prince Harry commissioned to honor their mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, will be installed next year what would have been his 60th birthday. ‘
The couples were last seen together in public at the Community Day service in March this year
The statue was commissioned to mark the 20th anniversary of Princess Diana’s death and recognize its positive impact in the UK and around the world.
Robert’s comments on his brother’s relationship come days after royal biographer Angela Levin said that Prince Harry “discarded life as a man of action to become a benefactor of the air fairies” with an “awakened life on the West Coast. “.
Royal expert Angela, who wrote Harry: Conversations with the Prince in 2018, said the duke had become a ‘shadow of his former self’ since moving to California.
Writing in The Sunday Telegraph, she said that while Prince Harry ‘refused to be’ the spare ‘of Prince William, he seems to accept being second after Meghan’.
The biographer said that Prince Harry’s recent appearances were “unusual” by the royalty she knew, who would instantly identify with everyone he spoke to.

His comments come days after royal expert Hugo Vickers said that Prince Harry is’ isolated from his family, the army, his friends, the Commonwealth ‘in the United States, telling The Telegraph:’ It is a useless existence in self-exile. ‘
The royal biographer compared Prince Harry’s actions to those of Prince William and Kate, adding: ‘During the NHS clapping, I thought how, after the Cambridges clapped, it would have been great to have heard of him.’
Earlier this week, the Duke and Duchess launched their non-profit Archewell’s website and set their goal of ‘building a better world’ in an open letter posted online.
But the site prominently connects the couple’s commercial endeavors – Archewell Audio, the brand they chose for their £ 30 million podcasting deal with Spotify, and Archewell Productions, their name chosen for the Netflix production partnership that says worth up to £ 100 million.
The announcement follows his first Spotify podcast on Tuesday, which saw his son Archie make his broadcast debut.
