A former royal press secretary is speaking out this week to say that Prince William and Prince Harry will never be able to solve their rift until they are both back in the United Kingdom.

Dickie Arbiter, who previously served as the royal press secretary, told Us Weekly that William and Harry will keep being at odds with one another until both brothers are back home in the U.K.

“I hope they settle their rift because there shouldn’t be bad blood among brothers, particularly those two brothers who went through such trauma together [with the] death of their mother, [Princess Diana],” Arbiter said. “They’ve been through a lot, and they’ve carried each other, and they’ve supported each other. And to have a rift is not healthy in any family. So I hope they are getting back together again.”

While William is still in the U.K., Harry has moved to Los Angeles, California with his wife Meghan Markle and their son Archie.

“Harry being in Los Angeles and William and [Middleton] being in the United Kingdom, [there’s] a great big ocean, a lot of land between, and it’s not going to be broached until such time they actually get together [and Harry comes] back to the U.K.,” Arbiter said. “That’s the million-dollar question. … So if they’re talking on the phone, well, that’s a step in the right direction, but it would be nice if they could actually meet up.”

While William and Harry had been keeping in touch via Zoom, they have had issues with cybersecurity, meaning they have had to keep their conversations professional rather than personal.

“The biggest problem now is security and not just outside security but within the boundaries of calls, Zooms and Skypes,” royal correspondent Neil Sean told Fox News.

“You have to think that while Harry and Meghan were here in the U.K. there were security measures in place to make sure that private chats over Zoom and so forth remained that – private,” a palace insider reportedly told Sean. “Harry is [now] living in [a new house] and exposed to all kinds of mishaps security-wise.”

The source went on to say that Harry has been depressed about his rift with William.

“This is making Harry very sad and feeling even more cut off from a life that he remembers back here in the U.K.,” Sean claimed. “Both William and Kate have been advised of this and know it makes the situation really hard to check in with Harry. Not only that, [but] this security rule extends to the appearances of [William’s children] Prince George and Princess Charlotte, whom Harry was really close to before swanning off to the U.S. He misses the fun times he had with them previously even though he has [his son] baby Archie with him too.”
