Harry and William's relationship 'hasn’t recovered since Oprah' interview, claims expert

The Royal Family will be taking time out of their day to remember the Queen Mother - who died exactly two decades ago today.

It’s been 20 years since Her Majesty the Queen lost her mother, and a lot has changed for our Royal Family. When the Queen Mother was alive, the monarchy wouldn’t allow royals to wed divorcees. But the rules have been bent in recent times and Prince Harry was allowed to marry Meghan Markle.

It’s almost time to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee, but one very important person on her guest list still hasn’t RSVP’d!

Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee is just around the corner but the jury's still out on if both of her grandsons will be in attendance. A source tells ET that despite a report that Prince William banned Prince Harry from his birthday, there have been no engagements where Harry has been «banned.» He hasn't been banned from celebrating his grandmother at her Platinum Jubilee in June either — which will mark 70 years of service for the queen, 95, who ascended the throne in 1952 at the age of 25.In fact, it's quite the opposite, with the source sharing that Harry was invited to Prince Philip's service of thanksgiving next week even though he has indicated he won’t be attending.The judicial case related to Harry's security, in which he's seeking hire and pay for private security for him and his family in the U.K., has not been resolved and is still under review, which might be why he's choosing not to attend a few events in his home country, despite his plans to attend the Invictus Games in The Hague in the Netherlands next month.ET royal expert Katie Nicholl said Harry's absence raises questions about his relationship with his family.«This, has of course, raised questions about relationships with his family and even with the queen, who he was once so close to. We know that Prince Harry was totally able to come over to the United Kingdom, he obviously feels he can't because of the security situation with his family,» Nicholl shared.

Prince William has reportedly opened up about brother Prince Harry while meeting locals in Belize on his latest royal tour. William and wife Kate Middleton visited the village of Hopkins yesterday, where they were seen visiting the Maya cacao farm in the coastal town, when William, 39, reportedly made a comment about his younger brother, 37.The two royal brothers are thought to have only seen each other twice in person since Harry left the UK in early 2020 – once at the funeral of their grandfather Prince Philip and again at an unveiling of a statue of their late mother, Princess Diana.

It appears a “tide has changed” in the relationship between Meghan Markle and Prince Harry since their move to the US, a body language expert has observed. When American actress Meghan first arrived in the UK and became part of the Royal family, communication professional Judi James said Prince Harry took on the “overly protective role” as he taught her the typical proceedings followed by the Windsor family.

Princess Diana’s private secretary over subterfuge used to get an explosive television interview with the late royal.The U.K.'s national broadcaster said it acknowledged that “serious harm” was caused to Patrick Jephson by the circumstances in which the 1995 interview, conducted by BBC journalist Martin Bashir, was obtained.“The BBC apologises unreservedly to Commander Jephson for the harm caused to him and has paid his legal costs,” it said in a statement. “The BBC has also paid Commander Jephson a substantial sum in damages, which he intends to donate in full to British charities nominated by him.”The 1995 interview, in which Diana discussed the breakdown of her relationship with Prince Charles — famously saying “There were three of us in this marriage” in reference to Charles’ relationship with Camilla Parker-Bowles — was watched by 23 million people in Britain and sent shockwaves through the monarchy.A report last year by a retired senior judge found Bashir used “deceitful behavior” to get the interview, including showing Diana’s brother fake bank statements that falsely suggested members of Diana’s inner circle were being paid to spy on her.

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle "only have each other now" after leaving behind life in the Royal Family, one expert has claimed.

The British Royal family was on-hand for the Commonwealth Day festivities at Westminster Abbey on Monday (Mar. 14), but it wasn’t that huge of a showing this year. Kate Middleton and her husband, Prince William, were there, along with William’s father, Prince Charles, and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall. However, notable family members like Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and Queen Elizabeth II were absent. Though Queen Elizabeth, 95, recently battled COVID-19, Buckingham Palace announced on Friday (Mar. 11) that she would not attend the service due to mobility issues, per The Mirror.

Prince William and Prince Charles will be "disappointed" by Harry's decision not to attend Philip's memorial service, a royal expert has said.The Duke of Sussex's spokesperson announced at the end of last week that he will not be flying to the UK for the thanksgiving service at Westminster Abbey on Tuesday 29 March. But, the statement added Harry will come to visit the Queen "soon".

Still at odds. After years of public drama, Samantha Markle filed a lawsuit against half-sister Meghan Markle, alleging the Duchess lied during her 2021 tell-all interview with husband Prince Harry.
