Prince William has no intentions of reuniting with his brother, Prince Harry, despite the upcoming overlap of their schedules in New York City this September. The announcement of Harry’s trip to the Big Apple, coinciding with the Earthshot Prize Innovation Summit, had sparked rumors of a potential royal reunion. However, a source close to William has clarified that such speculation is unfounded.
A spokesperson for Prince Harry recently revealed his plans to visit New York City in September, where he is expected to participate in various engagements. At the same time, Prince William’s Earthshot Prize Innovation Summit is also scheduled to take place in the city. Despite this scheduling coincidence, a source informed The Express that William will not be attending the summit, thereby quashing any hopes of a royal reconciliation.
“William is not due at the event because he has other plans,” the source told the publication. They emphasized that William had prior commitments that had long been established, and his absence from the Earthshot Innovation Summit was not a response to Harry’s presence. “It’s not an event Wills was ever due to attend but I’m sure there will be speculation that he’s pulled out because Harry will be there.
But it’s simply not true,” the source added. The brothers’ last interaction occurred two years ago during Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in 2022. Since then, there has been little public communication between them, contributing to ongoing speculation about their relationship. Despite the overlap in their schedules, the clarification from the source suggests that no effort is being made to reconcile during this visit.
The Earthshot Prize Innovation Summit is a significant event for William, focused on environmental sustainability and innovation, and his prior commitments are understood to be related to these ongoing responsibilities. As such, the absence of a reunion between the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex remains consistent with their separate paths and engagements. While fans and media had hoped for a family reunion, the current situation reinforces the ongoing distance between the royal brothers.
