The relationship between Prince William and Prince Harry is considered to be permanently damaged.
The reason for this may be, among other things, the heir to the throne's jealousy of his younger brother.

As the eldest son of King Charles (75), he took second place in the line of succession to the British throne when he was born and, even as a child, enjoyed advantages that were denied to his younger brother.
It is not for nothing that Prince Harry (39) titled his autobiography “Reserve”, which was published in January 2023, making it clear that he would have less importance in the Royal Family than the firstborn throughout his life.
