The rift between Prince William and Prince Harry seems to be wider than ever these days, and a royal expert is now speaking out to say that the brothers likely will not be spending major holidays together moving forward.

“It’s perhaps unlikely that they’re going to be spending what we would think of as quality family time together at Christmas and New Years and birthdays,” royal expert Jonathan Sacerdoti told US Weekly.

Sacerdoti added that while the birth of Harry and his wife Meghan Markle’s second child Lilibet “Lili” Diana has brought the royal family somewhat closer, there is still lots of distance between everyone.

“Just remember that the queen hasn’t met her latest granddaughter. It doesn’t seem likely that she’s going to anytime soon,” he said. “She’s barely seen Archie for quite a while.”

“On a human family level, forgetting them being the royal family, there’s already quite some frostiness and distance there,” Sacerdoti added. “So I suspect if things can go well, [then] maybe they’ll have the occasional meeting, but I don’t think it seems very high on anyone’s agenda.”

Earlier this month, William and Harry managed to put on a united front for the unveiling of a statue dedicated to their late mother Princess Diana at Kensington Palace.

“William and Harry spent the morning before the statue unveiling looking through old keepsakes, notes from Diana and bonding,” a source explained. “They have absolutely turned a new page in their relationship and have started the healing. Everyone around them was thrilled to see how close they were on the day of the statue unveiling.”

Another insider said that William’s wife Kate Middleton has been trying to reconnect with Meghan over the past few weeks.

“Kate has been reaching out to Meghan a lot more since [Lilibet] was born, she’s sending [notes and] gifts and trying to build up a relationship,” this source said. “The firm has been instructing staffers to reach out more to Harry and Meghan to get them to soften a bit.”

Sacerdoti chimed back in to say that while William and Harry are not as close as they have been in the past, there is no “animosity” between them.

“It’s like any family,” he said. “Sometimes we keep a closer contact with people than other times, and some people we stay more in touch with than others.”

“So I think just the very distance between the United States and the United Kingdom and the complications of either parts of this family being able to travel means that jetting backwards and forwards isn’t necessarily going to happen though,” Sacerdoti concluded.
