Prince William’s new rule and 'crystal clear' command to staff
Inside Prince William’s rule that has rocked the royal household

Prince William has reportedly set a firm boundary within his household, introducing a major rule that insiders say is “crystal clear” to his staff.
A well-placed royal source revealed the extent of this decision to RadarOnline, and it sheds light on just how deep the rift with Prince Harry has become.
1. Harry’s Name Is Now ‘Off Limits’
According to a senior royal source, Prince William has made it explicitly clear to his team:, “Even mentioning Harry is off limit.” This reportedly applies to staffers, PR aides, and anyone working in his inner circle.
2. William Sees Harry as ‘Impossible to Trust’
Insiders claim that William “regards his brother as underhand, calculating, and impossible to trust.” The estrangement isn’t just about family differences, it’s rooted in what William sees as repeated breaches of loyalty.
3. The Idea of Harry Reconciling With the King ‘Infuriates’ Him
Another royal insider admitted, “The thought of Harry slipping back into the King’s good graces infuriates him.” For William, the notion of a reunion between his father and Harry is far from welcome.
4. A Strict Rule of Silence in Meetings
The enforcement of this new rule is no small matter. Reportedly, “if anyone in royal PR circles or otherwise broaches the subject of him forgiving Harry – apart from his father or Camilla or his wife – he will literally ask them to leave the room.”
5. Anger Over Harry’s Impact on the Late Queen
One of William’s deepest grievances stems from his belief that Harry added “huge strain for the late Queen in her last years.”
According to insiders, this is something William simply “cannot forgive.”
6. Words Aren’t Enough for William
Even Harry’s attempts to defend himself haven’t swayed his brother. A source revealed, “My conscience is clear,” was Harry’s line, but William dismissed it, insisting, “talk is cheap.” He believes Harry needs to prove himself through actions, not words.
7. Fear Harry Is a ‘Danger’ to the Monarchy
For William, the lack of change is telling. He reportedly thinks, “Harry has to show change through actions, otherwise he remains a danger. William wants him kept well away from the heart of the monarchy.”
