Prince William is back at the center of royal tensions after a report claimed he believes Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s marriage may not last. The allegation comes as the couple nears eight years together and continues to present a united front in public, even as the family divide remains unresolved. No official confirmation has been given for the claim, and the Sussexes have not addressed it.
William’s reported view of the marriage
The most striking part of the report is the suggestion that William thinks the situation around Harry and Meghan could change if their marriage ends. The claim appears in the context of long-running tension between the brothers, with the Prince of Wales said to still feel the impact of Harry and Markle’s exit from royal life.
Insiders cited in the report said William believes Meghan has been the central cause of the breakdown in relations. One source said William blames her for “all of this mess, ” while another claimed he sees her as the person who has “poisoned things” between Harry and the rest of the family.
The same source said William is convinced the marriage will not hold forever and is “sure” that when Harry and Meghan break up, the brothers could get back on track. The report also said William is surprised the marriage has lasted this long. None of those claims has been verified by William directly.
Experts describe a deliberate silence
Separate royal commentary has framed William’s distance from Harry as intentional rather than accidental. British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard said William has been “ignoring the circus” and is “done with drama, ” describing the situation as a “permanent royal reset. ”
Chard added that William’s silence “isn’t a mystery” and called it “a strategy. ” That assessment fits the wider picture of a brotherly rift that has remained in place for years, with no public sign of reconciliation.
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams also said William regards his brother as “totally untrustworthy. ” Another expert, Roya Nikkhah, said William “does choose sides” and remembers it when “someone picks the other side. ”
How the feud hardened
The background remains the same: Harry and Meghan stepped back as senior royals in 2020, later airing grievances in interviews and documentaries. Harry’s memoir, Spare, deepened the split by adding personal criticism and fresh details about family tensions.
That history is why the latest claim matters. It does not just revive questions about the marriage of Harry and Meghan; it also reopens the larger issue of whether the brothers’ relationship can recover at all while Prince William keeps his distance.
What happens next
For now, the key fact is that the allegations remain unconfirmed, and the Sussexes continue to appear together publicly. Still, the renewed focus on Prince suggests the royal divide is not fading from view, and any new public move by either brother will draw immediate scrutiny in the days ahead.
