Lee Cohen, a royal commentator, has stated on GB News that Prince Harry must acknowledge the harm he has caused to mend ties with his brother, Prince William.
Cohen said: "He must acknowledge the harm he caused. But how can you forgive a brother who defames your wife and your father?"
The expert highlighted the ongoing estrangement between the brothers, noting William's refusal to communicate with Harry.
Cohen emphasised that any chance of reconciliation relies on Harry's actions, but questioned whether trust could ever be reasonably restored given the offensive nature of Harry's past behaviour.
The brothers' estrangement was evident at their uncle's funeral, where their silence underscored the deep rift between them.
This follows a series of public criticisms from Harry, including allegations against the royal family in his memoir and Netflix documentary.

These actions have created significant obstacles to any potential reconciliation, with William seemingly unwilling to engage in communication with his younger brother.
Cohen pointed out: "William refuses to communicate with Harry and who can blame him?" This stance reflects the deep-seated trust issues stemming from Harry's actions.

The royal commentator questioned, "How could trust ever be reasonably restored?" given the offensive nature of Harry's behaviour.
Any potential reconciliation appears to hinge on Harry's willingness to acknowledge and address the harm caused, though even this may not be sufficient to bridge the divide.

Despite the ongoing rift, recent events suggest Prince Harry may still have a path to reconnection with the British public.
Royal expert Jennie Bond told OK! magazine: "I don't think Harry has burned all his bridges with the British public.
There's something about Harry that remains quite charming and engaging." The Duke of Sussex has undertaken solo engagements in New York, London and Southern Africa in recent weeks, promoting causes close to his heart.
Bond noted that while Harry's "attacks on his family will never be forgotten", they could "eventually be forgiven" by enough people to make him welcome in the UK again.
