Reports suggest that Prince William, aged 43, may have declined an opportunity to meet his younger brother, Harry, 40, during Harry's upcoming visit. However, William is said to respect his father, the King's, autonomy in deciding how to interact with his youngest son.
According to The Daily Beast, a source close to William shared with The Royalist that William views a potential meeting as a "terrible idea." The source emphasized William's loyalty and respect for his father's position, stating that he would not cause any disruption if the meeting were to occur.
Prince William has not publicly addressed the strained relationship with his brother or Harry's upcoming visit. Similarly, King Charles has remained silent on the matter, and it is not yet confirmed whether he will meet with his youngest son.
The relationship between King Charles and Prince Harry is believed to have been challenging recently. In May, Harry stated in an interview that his father was not speaking to him. This was reportedly related to Harry's legal challenge against the Home Office regarding his security arrangements in the UK, a case which he ultimately lost.

William never took action to fix the situation with Harry and Meghan while his father did take action, this says a lot.

I understand William's position. He maybe doesn’t want to put in danger more privacy.

I can see why he would do that. If Harry wasn’t making everything public the family would be better.

Wow, that's a HUGE insult. Ignoring your brother when he's visiting? Shows a real lack of maturity and family loyalty.

It's William's choice! After everything that's happened, I can understand why he wouldn't want to meet.
