The loss, she suggests, wasn’t just professional — it was personal, and far-reaching. The result? A widening emotional gap that may be too big to close.

‘Harry left a hole in William’s world’

An unnamed source recently told US Weekly that Harry’s absence hasn’t just affected William on a personal level — it’s also thrown off the original plan for the monarchy’s future.

“Harry left a large gap in William’s world, not just personally but practically,” the insider revealed. “The whole idea was for Harry to work hand-in-hand with William and to divide and conquer during William’s monarchy. So Harry not being there is tough. William feels deserted by his brother – not that he would ever say that out loud.”

‘There are no plans for reconciliation’

Matta echoed the sentiment: “William and Harry are separated by more than an ocean. There are no plans for a reconciliation. They are two brothers living very separate lives.”

And it’s not just emotional separation. According to royal expert Jennie Bond, Prince Harry reportedly won’t have any role in William’s future as king.

‘Harry doesn’t factor into the future’

Speaking to The Mirror, Bond said: “I don’t think Harry figures in William’s plans at all. It is a very sad situation. Harry was his wingman and would have been the brother he could rely on when he takes on the very heavy responsibility of being king.”

“Harry would have had an extremely senior role and been the sibling, friend, supporter, and sounding board that the Princess Royal is now to her brother. It is a great loss for William, but one which I think he has now accepted.”

Harry’s representatives declined to comment when approached by Royal Insider.
