Prince William bans staff from even mentioning Prince Harry as family rift deepens

Prince William has reportedly laid down a strict new rule within his household, and it all centres on one topic he no longer wants to hear. According to a senior royal source speaking to RadarOnline, the Prince of Wales has made it “crystal clear to his staff” that bringing up his younger brother Harry is completely off limits.

The insider revealed, “Even mentioning Harry is off limit,” claiming William views his sibling as “underhand, calculating, and impossible to trust.” The source added that nothing riles him more than the idea of Harry somehow finding his way back into King Charles’s good books.

The rule is said to be so firmly enforced that if anyone in royal circles dares to suggest the possibility of reconciliation, William will shut the conversation down immediately. “If anyone in royal PR circles or otherwise broaches the subject of him forgiving Harry – apart from his father or Camilla or his wife – he will literally ask them to leave the room,” the source claimed.

The reported reason behind such a hard stance is William’s belief that Harry caused unnecessary strain for the late Queen in her final years, something he feels he can never forgive. According to the insider, William has seen “no sign Harry has changed” and believes “talk is cheap.”

One separate source explained, “He thinks Harry has to show change through actions, otherwise he remains a danger. William wants him kept well away from the heart of the monarchy.”

The Netflix deal Harry continues to be tied to has also raised further doubts. A royal courtier suggested William sees the streaming giant as damaging to the family’s image, saying, “The Crown has already caused deep damage to the family, and William views Netflix as toxic. The fact Harry continues to work with [Netflix] only reinforces his worst suspicions.”

The deepening divide between the brothers shows no sign of easing. For William, the wounds run too deep and the trust appears broken beyond repair.
