Prince William, who allegedly prefers that Prince Harry not return to the royal family, is reportedly pleased with Harry’s recent success regarding his visa status in the United States. According to sources, the Prince of Wales has been concerned about Harry and Meghan’s attempts to leverage their royal connections but is now feeling a sense of relief after the conclusion of Harry’s visa case.
The case surrounding Harry’s US visa has been quietly terminated by Judge Carl J. Nichols, effectively bringing the matter to a close. Royal commentator Michael Cole explained, “Judge Carl Nichols has sealed the file on Harry’s application to have residence in the United States.”
Another royal expert, Wyatt, had previously commented on the strained relationship between the two brothers, writing in The Telegraph: “It is William who was often the difficult one, and it is William who is preventing his father from having a proper reconciliation with Harry.” The tensions between Harry and his family remain a significant obstacle to any potential reconciliation.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams also weighed in, noting that the rift between Harry, Meghan, and the royal family may never be fully repaired. “The biggest casualty was trust,” Fitzwilliams explained. “It is unsurprising that King Charles and William no longer trust Harry and Meghan.”
Cole, speaking to GB News, highlighted the importance of the decision for Harry’s future in California, where his daughter Lilibet was born. He added that if Harry had been refused an extension of his visa, it would have raised questions about where he could go next: “Back to Canada, where he was before, or back to this country?”
While this situation could have posed challenges for Harry, the resolution of the visa case marks a significant win for the Sussexes. The case also carried added weight given the upcoming US presidential election, with former President Donald Trump suggesting he could deport Harry if re-elected.
For now, this visa victory allows Harry to continue his life in California with Meghan and their children, without the looming uncertainty of his residency status.
