Prince Harry has taken tentative steps in mending the relationship with his brother Prince William, according to a source.

The Duke of Sussex traveled to the U.K. to attend the two-day hearing over his reduced police protection while in the country. During the trip, Harry stayed at Coworth Park hotel, which is just a short drive from his brother’s home.

Coworth Park is also where William stayed with Harry the night before his wedding to Meghan Markle. A source has claimed the choice of hotel was “seen as a potential olive branch,” but the sad truth is the act went ignored by the royal family.

“His accommodation decision, which was relayed to Wills and Kate through security services, was seen as a potential olive branch to make peace after so many years estranged,” the source explained.

Speaking to The Express, the source suggested Harry is “keen to try to salvage some kind of relationship” and sit down and talk with his brother. It’s believed the pair haven’t spoken in person since the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

The source continued, “Some of us saw Harry being so close to his brother as a gesture of saying ‘Hey I am here, close by… what about us trying to work things out?'”

The source suggested Harry wants to “make peace with his family” and get back to talking terms. Tensions mounted between Harry and the royals when he and Meghan Markle made shocking allegations about the royal family in their Netflix docuseries.

Harry further hit out at his family in his memoir Spare and accused his brother of calling Meghan “difficult”, “rude” and “abrasive” during one bitter argument. Harry claimed his brother then “grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and he knocked me to the floor.”

The source said that everything said has been “too much.” They also pointed out how Harry can never “take back” the secrets he’s spilled.

The source continued, “While it felt the right thing for Harry to do to cleanse his soul of his darkest feelings on life in the monarchy, his brother and father didn’t share the same outlook. Their view remains that a line, actually several lines, were crossed and there is no way of returning to how things were a decade ago.”
