The Royal Family and Prince William will focus on preparing Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis for their future roles within the monarchy rather than attempting to build bridges with Prince Harry, according to a royal commentator.
The 40-year-old Duke of Sussex stepped down as a working royal alongside his wife in 2020 as they made a permeant move to the US.
Since, Harry has focused on ventures such as his celebrated Invictus Games but Meghan has usually taken the lead on social media as she shares updates on her own projects as well as family insights with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
Meanwhile, Prince William has been stepping up his duties as the heir to the throne and on the global stage.
Royal author Robert Jobson said: “The contrast between these images of the two brothers is huge.”

Comparing the pair, he described their new roles as “one of service and one of just silliness” while speaking with Hello! Magazine.
“What Harry and Meghan shared is great for clickbait, but not very good for anything else,” Jobson savaged, referencing the couple’s now infamous twerking video shared to mark Princess Lilibet’s fourth birthday.
The expert added that in contrast: "William takes his responsibilities to the institution, to his father, to his family, very seriously.
“You see that in the way he looks and the way he acts. He has grown into the role of supporting his father and being a King in waiting.”

William’s support for his father, King Charles, will be seen clearly as he takes a central role in this weekend’s Trooping the Colour celebrations.
The event, which will mark the official birthday celebrations of the King and will see William, his wife Princess Kate and their children be a key highlight of proceedings.
"It's all about William now, and him preparing Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis for their future roles in the next decade or so," the expert surmised.
While Harry’s presence was not confirmed, Meghan was set to compete with Trooping the Colour this weekend with a glitzy LA gala appearance.

However, she will now miss the Los Angeles museum gala as riots grip the Californian city.
Regardless, Jobson felt that the notion of Harry one day returning to royal duties alongside his brother was “pretty much over”.
"I do think that the idea of Harry ever coming back and doing anything constructive for the Royal Family is pretty much over.
Jobson’s brutal verdict came after what he felt were a string of damaging slights exchanged between Harry, Meghan and the rest of the Royal Family.

“Not because of the twerking, but because there's too much water under the bridge.
“Too many things have gone on that would be difficult to erase from the memory,” the expert determined.
Jobson was referencing Harry’s most recent digs, including a bombshell BBC interview in which he claimed his family “won’t speak to me” while also issuing a hope for a reconciliation one day.
"I love my country. I always have done, despite what some people in that country have done. I miss the UK. And it’s really quite sad I won’t be able to show my children my homeland,” Harry said.
He is set to return to the UK for the 2027 Invictus Games, although it is not expected he will reunite with any family members.
