Duke of Sussex faces fresh setback as royals remain unresponsive to reconciliation efforts
Prince William appeared alongside Hugh Grosvenor—Prince Harry’s longtime friend and godfather to Prince George—at a high-profile football match, even as tensions between the Sussexes and the royal family continue to escalate.
The Prince of Wales, joined by his eldest son, Prince George, was photographed at Villa Park on Tuesday, supporting Aston Villa in their Champions League quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain. Grosvenor, also known as the Duke of Westminster, attended the event with his wife Olivia, marking a rare public outing for the couple after recently announcing they are expecting their first child.
The outing drew attention not only for the show of camaraderie between William and Grosvenor but also for its timing. Reports suggest that Harry’s attempts to reconnect with his family remain unanswered, and he is being kept at a distance regarding updates on King Charles’s health.
According to People, a Palace insider revealed that there has been no progress in mending the rift, stating, “Nothing has changed,” and confirming the absence of any “rapprochement” between Harry and senior royals.
Despite Harry’s continued efforts to reach out, both King Charles and Prince William reportedly remain distant, reinforcing the deepening divide within the royal family.
