Prince William & Prince Harry’s Ongoing Feud Is Reportedly the Next Mission for These Royal Family Members
While some fans of Prince William and Prince Harry might be sympathetic to their tensions, and understand that their misunderstandings might be too deep to mend, it seems some royal family members are staying optimistic. According to new sources, the brothers’ cousins Zara Tindall and Princess Beatrice are planning to mediate and repair their relationship.
“Beatrice and Zara both want the royal family to be seen in the best possible light,” Royal expert Ian Pelham Turner told Fox News. “Both have strong values and common sense.”

In trying to get the royal family back on the right path, it seems William and Harry making amends is the final puzzle piece. “They are out of the maelstrom of William and Harry and are good at building bridges and calming situations,” Turner said. “This could be an effective force in bringing the brothers back together and finding a way forward with Meghan [Markle] and the children.”
Of course, while Tindall and Beatrice might attempt to talk to each of them, they could end those conversations to no avail. After all, these siblings stopped talking for quite a few reasons.
According to former royal butler Grant Harrold to the New York Post, however, if there’s anyone who could convince them to talk, it’s Tindall and Beatrice.
“Beatrice is very close with both William and Harry,” Harrold said. “Their relationship is fun and natural. It’s never changed. They always have a lot of jokes together and can have a laugh.”
“They’re friends and that is what’s nice about it,” the source continued. “They’re cousins, but they’re close and have each other’s backs. They do spend a lot of time together.”
“She would be someone to initiate peace in the family,” he said, noting that Beatrice would fit right into the “peacemaker” role. “She’s close to both William and Harry, as well as the king — and they trust her. It would be her out of anyone else — but she wouldn’t want to be too involved.”
As a reminder, Harry recently addressed the feud in ITV’s documentary, Tabloids on Trial. In the interview, Harry suggested that his determination to fight tabloids in court was the crux of their feud.
“I think that’s certainly a central piece to it,” the Duke of Sussex said. “That’s a hard question to answer because anything I say about my family results in a torrent of abuse from the press.” He wished that they had acted against the media groups “as a family” instead of him doing it alone. “I believe that, again, from a service standpoint and when you’re in a public role, that these are the things that we should be doing for the greater good. But I’m doing this for my reasons,” he added.
Looks like Tindall and Beatrice will have quite a tough hill to climb.
