They were there, but they weren't there. They were together, but they weren't together," he explained in an interview. _ More than 27 years ago, Ian Vogler experienced the boys supporting one another after the tragic death of their mother, Princess Diana."The relationship between the boys as children could not be more different from now. Diana's death changed everything," he noted. "I remember watching them walking behind their mother's coffin when they were 15 and 12 and thinking, 'What a difficult life they're going to have with this being beamed around the world on live television.'" _ While rumors swirl that Prince Harry will reunite with his father, King Charles III, in the near future, Prince William is reportedly not ready to make amends. "William feels Harry has repeatedly chosen public exposure over private resolution and that the royal family can't keep being dragged into the headlines every time there's a new contract to promote," a source claimed. _ Since Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, left their duties with The Firm in 2020 and began speaking publicly about the family, Prince William has no interest in reconciling. "The issue with Harry, as well as Meghan, is one of trust. Ever since moving to North America, they have eroded all confidence in their ability to keep things or their criticisms private. For there to be any chance of moving forward, that trust has to be rebuilt and Team Sussex knows the onus is on them," the source pointed out. roger allen / Mirrorpix/Newscom/The Mega Agency Mirrorpix / MEGA Derry Ian / Mirrorpix/Newscom/The Mega Agency James Whatling / MEGA James Whatling / MEGA Up Next The post William and Harry's relationship started souring years before estrangement appeared first on Wonderwall.com.
