Prince William and his family are reportedly distancing themselves from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle due to a deepening rift fueled by Harry's memoir and alleged physical altercation over Meghan. Princess Diana's ex-butler Paul Burrell claims William has banned Harry from returning to the royal fold, with William keeping Kate and his family away from the Sussexes. Burrell suggests William sees Harry and Meghan as 'background noise' and has taken on a disciplinarian role akin to Prince Philip. Despite King Charles possibly desiring reconciliation, William adamantly refuses to engage with his brother, signaling a continued estrangement within the royal family.
