Prince Harry to ‘reach out’ to William on his birthday, ex-royal butler says

Prince Harry will "reach out" to his older brother, Prince William, for his birthday, according to an expert.

The Prince of Wales turns 41 today (Wednesday, June 21) and ex-royal butler Grant Harrold thinks the future king will receive a birthday card from his estranged sibling, despite the ever-growing rift between the warring duo.

Speaking to OK!, Grant, who worked with the Firm for seven years, said: "Do you know what, with families when you fall out you still fix it.

"Hand on heart I still believe that Harry will still reach out to William for his birthday. I think he will reach out to him, definitely, I think they will still reach out to each other on their birthdays. Will there be a card? I think there will still be a card. Will there be a gift? I don't know, it's difficult to say."

The Duke of Sussex famously tore into his big brother in his instant hit Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan as well as his memoir, Spare.

The younger of the royal pair hit out at the heir to the throne, calling him his "arch-nemesis" and accusing him even of physical violence.

"He grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and he knocked me to the floor," Harry wrote in his best-selling book, released earlier this year.

The pair have been distant since Harry stepped down from royal duties in 2020 alongside wife Meghan Markle.

Although Harry briefly jetted back to the UK for King Charles' coronation earlier this year, the pair reportedly didn't spend any time together during the whistle-stop visit.

But Grant still holds out hope that the pair could forgive and forget – and says a reconciliation could already be underway.

He said: "For all we know they could be talking and they could be sorting things out. So I'd like to think that they remember each other’s birthdays."

In a recent interview, William alluded to the rift with his younger brother, suggesting the row had interfered with coverage of the important work the royals do.

Speaking about what the royals do, he said: “We’re all very busy and I think it’s hard sometimes to see what the family bring and what we do.

“But the amount of causes, the interests, the dinners, the meetings, the visits, whatever it is, that we do day in, day out, throughout the year, we’ve always been involved in that. It’s part of what we do.

"It’s trying to spotlight other causes, other people, other interests, and help people where we can. We’ll continue to do that.”
