Princess Kate and Prince William have "no deep desire" to end their bitter feud with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, a royal commentator has claimed.
The two royal couples have had a frosty relationship for the past three years since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down as working royals.
In the time since, Harry and Meghan have done an Oprah Winfrey interview, a Netflix documentary, and a memoir released by the duke - all of which contained private details of their feud with the Waleses.
Royal author Dr Ed Owens spoke exclusively to GB News regarding the couple's feud.

He said: “It'll be really difficult. I don't think there's any way for that direct way forward at the moment.
“It's a classic case of conflict resolution. Conflict resolution requires an understanding on the part of both parties and a desire to find common ground.
“Unfortunately, I don't think there's a deep enough desire on either side to find that common ground at the moment."
However, Owens claimed the Waleses and the Sussexes might be able to find a compromise in the future.

He explained: “Time is often the healer, and in terms of their finding common ground, it's something that might happen further down the line.
“But at the moment, there doesn't seem to be a deep enough desire to find that common ground or a desire to be understanding on both sides, for there to be sort of any successful resolution."
Owens, who recently published the book After Elizabeth: Can the Monarchy Save Itself?, gave insight into what the two couples could do.
He suggested: “What it would take is for some conciliatory force to work as mediator between the two groups.

"But that's only going to happen behind closed doors.
“It's not as if there’s going to be a public conversation.
"Plus, getting the Sussexes and Waleses in one room for that for that length of time would be very difficult.”
