Meghan Markle is not delighted that dreams of reunion have been stirred by secret texts!
Prince William hasn't even brought up his younger brother Prince Harry's name in public for years, and as they've continued to live quite different lives on different continents, their enmity has only gotten worse.
However, according to an insider, Prince William, 42, may now be prepared to put an end to their acrimonious conflict. One of the first steps toward reconciliation was his surprising reference to Harry, 40, in his upcoming documentary.
"With his birthday wish to Harry a few weeks back and now this documentary, William's sending a pretty clear signal that his brother's on his mind and that there's a slightly ajar doorway back into the palace for him," a source told Woman's Day Australia. "There's no doubt there's been a shift and William is far more receptive to having Harry back in the fold."
In the documentary “We Can End Homelessness”, royal viewers were taken aback when William and Harry told a story about how their late mother, Princess Diana, took them to the UK charity The Passage when they were little.
And according to another insider, it's more evidence that Prince William has been thinking about his younger brother more lately as a result of a difficult year during which he had to watch both his father, King Charles, and wife, Princess Kate, fight cancer.
"William wouldn't be William if he wasn't worried about his little brother," the source said. "Going through the possibility of losing not only his father, but also his wife to a devastating illness has made all this feuding and bad blood seem utterly foolish. Of course, the next step is for the brothers to see if they can actually get through a phone call without losing their cool!"
Naturally, Prince William has also been thinking about his father King Charles' poor health and his responsibility as successor to the kingdom, CBC reported.
"The other great torment for William is his father, who deeply misses his youngest son and wants desperately for there to be a reunion," the insider added. "William wants his dad to leave this earth happy, knowing his family is united and his sons are at peace with each other. He is trying to be the bigger man in this situation it's what a leader would do."
Having observed Prince Harry and Meghan's marriage from a distance and their growing distance from one another in recent weeks, insiders claim that William is also prepared to provide support for his brother in the event that his marriage fails.
"William would love nothing more than to have his brother back, how he was before Meghan came into their lives," the source said. "And if things are going haywire for Harry in California, William wants to be there to pick up the pieces."
There have been rumors of marital discord for weeks, and Harry and Meghan's separate schedules only serve to confirm the rumors that they are on the verge of divorcing.
And according to the insider, Meghan is growing more and more worried that Harry will ditch their life in Montecito and return to his former royal bubble in the UK.
"Meghan's convinced that Harry's pulling away and William's behind it all," the source revealed. "Harry's absence pretty much since his 40th birthday in September has been extremely concerning for everyone in Meghan's circle."
With Meghan holding down the fort at home with their children Archie, five, and Lilibet, three, the source added she's "trying to keep her cool and carry on, but behind closed doors the whole scene is a mess."
"She will hit the roof if Harry decides to make a return to royal life because she's made it clear she won't go back to London," the insider continued.
