Prince William Reportedly "Washed His Hands" of Prince Harry as Archie and Lilibet's School Switch Sparks New Sussex Drama

The royal family saga just added another chapter, and this one is messy. Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield reports that Prince William has“largely washed his hands”of the situation with Prince Harry, choosing instead to focus on his own family and his responsibilities as Prince of Wales. According to Schofield, William believes firmer boundaries should have been set with Harry and Meghan“much earlier.”King Charles, by contrast, is reportedly taking a more emotional approach to his younger son. Two brothers, two completely different playbooks.

Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan’s UK chapter hit a snag of its own. Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, were pulled from their new prep school just two days into the term, reportedly over security concerns tied to the commute. Traffic allegedly put too much strain on the family’s small security team, prompting a move to a nearby school. Two days in a classroom is barely enough time to learn where the bathrooms are.

So what happens next? William and Harry still aren’t on speaking terms, even after Harry’s return to the UK in late August. With Prince George now starting at Eton, William’s priorities are clearly closer to home. Whether this rift ever heals is anyone’s guess, but for now, the silence between the brothers says plenty. What do you think, is William right to step back, or should he keep the door open?
