Prince Harry refused to meet Prince William for 'heartbreaking' reason


Prince Harry refused to meet his older brother Prince William for fear their conversations would be leaked.

The Duke of Sussex rejected William's offer in 2019, when the latter asked him to discuss his intentions about stepping down as a senior royal.

The Times' royal correspondent Valentine Low explained to Hello Magazine: “I think he spoke to Harry and said he wanted to come see him. And Harry was initially open to this idea, but then he said to William, 'Well, will you?' Who are you going to tell if you're coming? William said, 'Well, you know, I have to tell my private secretary because I have to change my diary.' And Harry said, 'Well, well, in that case, don't come.' Because “I was very worried that once the staff found out, it would leak. It was a little heartbreaking.”

The royal expert added: “Now, it could be that Harry was also looking for an excuse to say, 'Don't come.' That's certainly what someone has suggested, that this meeting would never have taken place. But, you know, it's still heartbreaking that they couldn't have these moments.”
