Michael Cole has warned Prince Harry faces a “long road” and a lot of “fence mending” if he is to ever enjoy a positive relationship with his brother again.
The Duke of Sussex’s relationship with Prince William has been strained for years.
They have grown further apart in recent times thanks to a series of bombshell claims made by Harry in his memoir, Spare.
And according to Michael Cole, the onus is on the younger brother to mend ties.

He told GB News: “Prince Harry will not be meeting his brother.
“That’s going to take a lot of reconciliation. Harry is going to have to mend a few fences.

“I would say enough fences to encircle the whole 20,000 acres of the Sandringham Estate. A lot of humble pies have got to be eaten too.
“Meghan in her Montecito kitchen will have to bake up a humble pie about as tall as a Californian redwood and then eat it.
“It’s going to be a long, long road before the two brothers are on speaking terms, let alone friends again.”
But according to Cole, the duke will “almost certainly” be reconciled with his cancer-stricken father during his trip to Britain.
“The King will almost certainly see his younger son when he is in London next week”, he told Stephen Dixon and Ellie Costello.
“The King has made it clear from the outset that his foot is always open to his younger son, who he tends to call ‘my darling boy’.
“Harry is principally here for a thanksgiving service to celebrate the 10th anniversary of his brilliant innovation, the Invictus Games, at St Paul’s Cathedral.
“Usually, they’re 5,000 miles apart. Now they’re only two miles apart. I’m quite sure they will get together.”
Harry and Meghan married in 2018, six months after becoming engaged.
They stepped back from frontline royal duties in 2020 and moved to Montecito, California.
