Prince William might not be so accepting of his little brother's apology, a royal expert claims.

Simon Heffer says William will be unforgiving when it comes to Prince Harry's recent actions, especially with the release of his upcoming memoir Spare looming.

"The Prince of Wales is reported to be appalled at his brother's general behaviour, and that the book is going to appear at all," Heffer told The Telegraph.

He claimed that even if Harry decides he will not "enjoy living in exile in America for very much longer", that William may not "accept a reconciliation" should his younger brother return to the United Kingdom.

Heffer adds that Harry's memoir is of "great concern" for the royal family, with William worried about its effects so soon after one of the royals' most challenging years since 'annus horribilis'.

The statement is surprising, considering that William was reportedly the one to initiate contact with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex soon after the queen died.

It was a royal reunion nobody expected, and the first time the foursome appeared together since the Commonwealth Day service in 2020.

According to royal commentator Omid Scobie, the show of reconciliation wouldn't have happened if it weren't for William's last-minute invite.

"The Waleses had always been scheduled to greet well-wishers at Windsor Castle, but royal sources say the decision to invite the Sussexes was made in the eleventh hour," the royal author wrote on Twitter

"It is, without a doubt, a significant moment in the history of the relationship between the two brothers."
