Charles Rae, the legendary former royal correspondent, appeared on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show for the second time to talk with The Sun’s royal editor Matt Wilkinson.

The situation of the strained relationship between the royal brothers was a hot topic of discussion, particularly, whether the Sussexes or the Wales’s should make the first move to attempt a reconciliation.
Charles said: “Well, I think it is down to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to make the first move.
“Whether or not it would be accepted by William and Catherine, I doubt very much it would be.
“There’s too much water which has gone under that bridge.
“After everything Harry and Meghan have done with the Oprah Winfrey interview, that Netflix show… [Harry’s book] Spare. The flamboyant curtsey by Meghan on the show as well.
“There’s too much gone under the bridge now.
“If they’re going to make the move, I am not so sure William and Catherine would respond favourably.
Charles added: “William’s got a lot more on his mind right now than repairing the troubles with his own brother. He’s got his wife to look after and his three children.“They are the most important things that are going on.
“If Harry was that keen on making some sort of move towards William… he didn’t wish him a happy 42nd birthday.
He added: “Any rift in any family is very, very sad. They’re doing it in the full glare of publicity and that’s obviously ten times worse than you falling out with your brother or sister.
“But Harry’s caused an awful lot of pain to various members of the Royal Family, his father, his brother, his sister-in-law.”
Matt then raised the possibility that someone could meet both brothers in the middle in an attempt to bring them back together.
Charles said: “I don’t think it’s ever going to happen and I suspect one of the driving forces in not making it happen is Meghan herself.
“I’m not trying to blame her for everything.
“I don’t blame her for everything but I don’t think things she is doing help matters.”
Charles’ comments echo those of another royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told The Sun that “petulant” Harry must be the first one to make a move to heal the rift with William.
He added that any rift is “undesirable”, especially when people are battling illness with both King Charles and the Princess of Wales being treated for cancer.
Mr Fitzwilliams said it was up to Harry to instigate any efforts at reconciliation as he had done the most to harm the royals.
When asked about the perspective that it might be constructive for the Prince of Wales to reach out, Mr Fitzwilliams said: “The problem with any rift is that it leads to deep mutual mistrust.
“Harry and Meghan were deeply unhappy as senior working members of the royal family. He believed they were due an apology for the way Meghan in particular was treated.”
He added: “Given that they are not currently attacking the Royal Family and the idea of bridging the rift is in the air, of course this is welcome.
“However, give a thought to the damage caused by what happened from the interviews they gave in South Africa, on Oprah, on the Netflix documentary and in Spare and the interviews publicising it.
“Of course William was enraged. They made the Queen’s last years very difficult. The King evicted them from Frogmore.”
