The Duke of Sussex has launched multiple attacks on the Royal Family through TV interviews and his autobiography

Prince William and Prince Harry are both suffering "lost opportunities" as a result of their bitter feud, according to a royal commentator.

The Duke of Sussex stepped down as a working member of the Royal Family in 2020 alongside his wife Meghan Markle.


Since leaving the monarchy, Harry has launched multiple public attacks on the Royal Family through TV interviews and his autobiography titled Spare.

The Duke of Sussex's book contained digs at the Prince and Princess of Wales and the brothers have not been on speaking terms since its release in January 2023.

Royal commentator Duncan Larcombe said that the feud between the brothers is costing them both opportunities to collaborate.

Larcombe told OK!: "There are always going to be certain things that will remind William of his younger brother and that will be upsetting for him – I don’t doubt that for a second.

"I’d love to know how much of the Invictus Games William saw and whether or not he even dared watch the Netflix documentary about it.

"Maybe it was just too painful for him.

"It’s such a shame. Things could have been so different if the boys were on speaking terms.

"They could have lent some clout to each other’s projects. These opportunities are lost."

It comes as the Royal Family slapped down claims that Prince Harry could be given an apartment in Kensington Palace as part of plans to reconcile with the Duke of Sussex.

Prince Harry's position as one of King Charles's Counsellors of State has come under scrutiny as the Duke of Sussex does not currently have a residence in the UK.

The role allows Prince Harry to deputise for King Charles if he is called upon, however, the duke must have a home in the UK to be able to do this.

Counsellors of state are required to have this by law but since Harry was evicted from Frogmore Cottage in May, he no longer has a UK home.

The Duke of Sussex lives in a mansion in California with his wife Meghan Markle and their two young children Archie and Lilibet.

A royal source suggested that one option to resolve the issue was for King Charles to give his son an apartment at Kensington Palace, according to the Sunday Times.

However, this report has been slapped down by Buckingham Palace.

A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said: "These claims are not true".
