The surprising royal ‘called in’ to end Prince Harry’s feud with William over a pint

A surprising member of the Royal Family reportedly tried to bring Prince Harry and Prince William back together by inviting the feuding brothers for a drink. Mike Tindall, who is married to Princess Anne's daughter Zara, is said to have made several attempts to get the pair talking again. The former England rugby player reportedly hoped that meeting for dinner or a pint away from the public eye might help repair their strained relationship.

But despite his efforts, the brothers have yet to reconcile. Royal commentator Emily Andrews reported that Mike had repeatedly tried to arrange informal meetings between Harry and William, hoping to act as a peacemaker.

The 48-year-old has long been considered close to both brothers, making him a possible choice to help break the ice.

However, his attempts are understood to have come to nothing. The relationship between Harry and William has been strained for years, with tensions worsening after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped back from royal duties in 2020. Harry's subsequent interviews, Netflix documentary and memoir, Spare, brought further attention to disagreements within the family.

And while Harry has spoken publicly about wanting to repair relationships with his relatives, there has been little indication of a breakthrough with William.

Mike's own relationship with Harry may also have changed over the years.

During an appearance at the Hay Festival earlier this year, the former rugby star reportedly joked about Harry during a time "when Harry was fun".

Meanwhile, reports suggest Zara and Harry, who were close growing up, have also become more distant.

The latest claims come as speculation continues over whether Harry and Meghan could spend more time with the Royal Family following their return to Britain.

Harry recently spoke about the difficulties of family disagreements, admitting that he still feels the loss of his former relationships. In an interview with GQ, he said he wanted things to work out, while acknowledging that painful experiences can be difficult to move past.

However, reports have suggested William remains reluctant to rebuild their relationship.

For now, it appears that even an informal drink with Mike Tindall has not been enough to bring the brothers back together.
