Prince William – Wiki CommonsIn the midst of a fight for survival, the Sussexes’ drama is most unwelcome.Under the catastrophic rule of the Labour party, the United Kingdom has had one of its darkest weeks ever, with threats of independence referendums by Welsh, Scottish, and Northern Irish leaders – as well as calls for the end of the monarchy.As the Windsors (formerly Saxe-Coburg and Gotha) fight for the continuation of their centuries-old reign, the constant chaos and drama brought by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Harry and Meghan, is a distraction that they can’t afford.In the midst of this unprecedented crisis, Prince William has ‘washed his hands’ of his estranged brother Harry.How Prince William and Kate Middleton Are Handling Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Return: ‘They See It as a Sideshow’ (Exclusive) https://t.co/Lj4iSIyVkn— People (@people) September 15, 2026Page Six reported:“[Royal Expert] Kinsey Schofield shared insight into the feuding brothers’ current icy status after news surfaced that Harry and Meghan Markle pulled their children from their new UK prep school at the last minute due to security concerns.‘The Sussexes’ presence will always generate noise and distraction, and I think the first few weeks have demonstrated exactly why the royal family remains concerned’, Schofield said.”Harry announces string of pseudo-royal engagements https://t.co/obletyQEm9— The Times and Sunday Times (@thetimes) September 12, 2026On Schofield’s podcast, she pointed, as an example, to the controversial push by Harry to get taxpayer-funded police protection.“’Now, a school change being played out across the front pages’, Schofield said. ‘This is precisely the kind of rolling Sussex narrative the royal family has spent the last several years trying to move beyond’.”William and Harry: the war of the Windsors“She added of William, ‘At this stage, I think he has largely washed his hands of the situation. He has his own family to protect and his responsibilities as Prince of Wales. The Prince and Princess of Wales are trying to provide stability for their own children while Prince George begins an enormous new chapter at Eton’, Schofield said, referring to the 13-year-old’s prep school in Windsor, England.”Reality Tea reported:“[Schofield] said William believes that ‘firmer boundaries’ should have been established with Harry and Meghan ‘much earlier’. He feels no longer inclined to respond to every grievance raised by his brother’s camp. Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet’s abrupt exit from their new prep school just two days into term fits ‘another cycle of Sussex drama’ and ‘would be viewed as an unwelcome distraction’.Schofield contrasted William’s approach towards Harry with King Charles’ more emotionally invested approach. She explained that the older brother ‘can afford to be much more pragmatic’. This is because, in her view, the consequences of Harry’s choices ‘are now Harry’s responsibility’.”InStyle reported:“Prince William and Prince Harry’s rift has persisted for years—but it has gone from a “hot war” to a “very, very cold war,” royal historian Amanda Foreman told People for its new cover story.The Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex aren’t thought to have spoken to one another since the September 19, 2022 funeral of their grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, almost exactly four years ago. Though they were in the same physical space at the 2024 funeral of their uncle, Lord Robert Fellowes, they did not interact.Now that Harry, his wife Meghan Markle, and their children have moved back to the U.K.—arriving at the end of August—the potential for overlap between the brothers has substantially increased. Much closer geographically than they were when the Sussexes lived in Montecito, California, for six years, the move has ‘magnified’ the feud all the more.‘When they were in California, and you gazed through the looking glass, you couldn’t see it so well, but it is right back in front of them’, a palace insider said of William and wife Kate Middleton.”Read more:Left-Wing Nationalist Leaders of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to Sign Deal Aimed at Breaking Up the United Kingdom — and Crawling Back to the EU/*!
