Prince William is ignoring the royal rift with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as he focuses on solutions to the environmental crisis, according to a royal commentator.
The Prince of Wales is thought to not be on speaking terms with his younger brother since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down from working royals in January 2020.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams suggested that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle caused the breakdown between the brothers.
He told GB News: "There is, as everyone knows, a rift in the royal family, but the Sussexes, not William, were the cause of it."

He said: "Harry and Meghan have spoken about environmental matters and have not always practised what they preached.
"However, it is clear that William is emphasising the purpose of the Earthshot Prize, which is to find solutions to the environmental crisis.
"He knows, though this is seldom referred to by those who speak out on climate change, that there is far too much preaching on this topic.
"William realises that if people are constantly told what not to do, that they shouldn't fly or eat less meat, that sort of thing turns people off."
