EXCLUSIVE: One royal documentary claims that it will take a while before Prince Harry and Prince William reconcile their differences.
CBS aired a two-hour interview on Sunday featuring the Duke and Duchess of Sussex with Oprah Winfrey. During the television broadcast, Harry (36) reveals that his relationship with his father, Prince Charles (72), as well as his older brother (38) has broken down.
Meghan Markle, 39, also felt so isolated and miserable within the royal family that she had suicidal thoughts. The Duchess of Sussex also claims that a member of the royal family has ‘concerns’ about the color of the skin of her unborn child.
The family member, according to Harry, was not Queen Elizabeth II or Prince Philip, which sparked a wave of speculation about who it might be.

“I think it’s incredibly difficult for the brothers to reconcile their differences now, especially after the interview,” Nick Bullen told Fox News. “Too much has happened. But I think they will find a way to be together for the unveiling of their mother’s statue on July 1, which would be her 60th birthday. And both her sons wanted this legislation to be unveiled. .
“They both want to honor her and both have committed to it,” Bullen shared. “And the plan is still going on. What’s happening now is someone’s guess, but I would think they would be together on July 1.”
Bullen is the co-founder and editor-in-chief of True Royalty TV. The award-winning documentary has been making programs about the royal family for almost 20 years and has been working with Charles for eight years.

Harry told Winfrey the royal family cut him off financially in early 2020 after he planned to retire from his roles. But he was able to afford security for his family because of the money left behind by his late mother, Princess Diana.
He said his relationship with Charles was affected. He even remarked that the patriarch had stopped taking his calls.
“There’s a lot to work through,” Harry said of his relationship with his father. “I feel really disappointed. He’s been through something similar before. He knows how pain feels. And Archie is his grandson. I will always love him, but there is a lot of pain that has happened.”
Harry disputes rumors that he deliberately blinded the queen to his decision to divorce. He suspects the rumors are coming from the institution.
