PRINCE Harry and Prince William can’t heal their brotherly rift because the Duke is “so under Meghan Markle’s thumb and she would “bite his head off, a royal biographer has claimed.
The Royal brothers are expected to put their differences aside for unveiling of Princess Diana’s statue on July 1 at Kensington Palace to mark what would have been their mother’s 60th birthday.
But now royal expert Hugo Victers has claimed that an emotional reunion won’t be on the cards – because of the Duchess of Sussex.
He told The Express: “I don’t know what they can do under the present circumstances.
“Harry has got to wake up to what’s going on. It’s a very unpleasant situation and I don’t think it’s going to be the right moment this week.
“Harry is so under the thumb of Meghan it is not really possible until he emerges from that.”
He added: “He has thrown in his lot with his wife.
“That’s it, isn’t it? Slagging off his family didn’t help anybody. It’s a dreadful situation.”
“You’ve got to remember that Harry has to return to his wife in Los Angeles. If he starts reconciling, he will get his head bitten off, won’t he?”
Just last month the Duke of Sussex revealed that returning to London was a “trigger” for him after Diana’s death, while he tackled his personal traumas in an on-screen therapy session.
In the doc, The Me You Can’t See, the royal said he has a “hollow empty feeling of nervousness” whenever he arrives in the capital and admitted he feels “hunted and helpless” while he’s there.
When questioned by his therapist about how it makes him feel, Harry said: “[Like there] is no escape. There is no way out of this.”
He was last in the UK for Prince Philip’s funeral.
Meanwhile, one key family member won’t be about for about for a catch-up with Harry.
In an unfortunate clash of diaries, Prince Charles is in Scotland ahead of the unveiling of Diana’s statue.
A source said: “Charles will leave the boys to it. Harry will need to quarantine for at least five days when he lands in England, most likely at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor.
“Charles has made it quite clear he will not be around beyond that because he is going to Scotland. There is no planned meeting between the three of them.”
The brothers have been communicating by text amid a bitter fallout.
Another source said: “There have not been any personal chats or proper talks, just a very brief and minimal exchange of text messages.
“The relationship is still very much strained and there’s no sign yet that there will be any sort of coming together any time soon.”
Among those attending the statue unveiling will be members of the statue committee, sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley who created the artwork, and garden designer Pip Morrison.
