Sharon said William has to consider Harry from two perspectives: as his brother and as the future king. In her view, repairing their personal relationship would depend first on restoring a sense of trust.

Grant offered a more specific picture of what Harry would need to do. He said Harry should avoid publicly criticizing the royal family and steer clear of business deals that could create controversy.
Those expectations put the focus on Harry’s conduct over time rather than a single meeting or peace gesture.

Grant indicated that progress could become possible if Harry’s choices eventually leave William feeling more secure about the situation.
“If Harry proves himself and William feels the situation is safer, things may start to change. But it will all depend on the decisions and choices Harry makes in the coming months,” Grant said.
