Prince William has made a “tough and resolute” stand on his fractured relationship with estranged brother Prince Harry, according to a royal expert.

The Prince of Wales, 42, has reportedly not spoken to his younger brother for over a year.

And their already-damaged bond was made worse with the release of Harry’s bombshell memoir “Spare” in January 2023.

And William — the heir to the throne — has made a decision on the future of the pair’s relationship, according to royal commentator Jennie Bond.

“William has always been a strong character,” Bond told OK! Magazine.

“I think his broken childhood made him tough and resolute,” she continued. “He now has the reputation of being stubborn and, once his mind is made up, he sticks to his decision.”

Bond suggested that William — who is two years older than Harry — has become the “enforcer” of the Firm since the death of their grandparents, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip.

“He is definitely someone who commands respect within the family and whose views hold considerable sway,” she said of the father of three.

“Obviously, as heir to the throne, his word carries a lot of weight in the family and I think it’s true that he has been prepared to take a tough stand on a number of issues, including [Princes] Andrew and Harry.”

Bond’s comments echo that of royal expert Hilary Fordwich, who claimed that William has “banned” his estranged brother from returning to the royal fold.

“It is widely known within the family that Prince William has laid down an absolute ban on Harry returning in any way, shape or form into his former royal family fold,” she told Fox News.

“If anyone will relent, it would be King Charles, whom, of course, Prince William won’t challenge, who still misses his ‘darling boy’ and would like to see more of Prince Harry.”

“However, to this day, after the release of ‘Spare’ and the Netflix serial, as well as with everything else Harry has said, done, and not done, it’s Prince William who adamantly refuses to even speak to his brother,” she added.

It seems like Prince William is really standing his ground when it comes to his relationship with Prince Harry. According to royal expert Jennie Bond, William’s tough and resolute nature can be attributed to his broken childhood.

Bond also mentioned that since the passing of their grandparents, William has taken on the role of the enforcer within the royal family. His position as the heir to the throne gives his words a lot of weight and influence.

Another royal expert, Hilary Fordwich, has suggested that William has even gone so far as to ban Harry from returning to the royal fold. Despite potential wishes from King Charles to reconcile with Harry, William remains steadfast in his decision to not even speak to his brother.

It will be interesting to see how this dynamic between the two princes continues to play out, especially with the recent release of Harry’s memoir and other public statements.
