Harry and Meghan are experts in surprise – but why are they returning to UK now?

This isn't a regular sibling fallout. It is a deep-rooted fracture filled with anger, resentment and a total loss of trust. And much of it has played out in public.

In practice, the Prince of Wales remains in no mood to forgive and forget. The hurt he feels lingers.

"William is very stubborn, " a family friend informed the BBC. "To feel cheated by your own brother has been painful. He can't just put it behind him."

But in his interview with the BBC last year, Harry offered a different view.

"I would love reconciliation with my family. There's no point in continuing to fight any more."

Meanwhile, the difficulty for Prince William now is proximity. Harry will be in the UK within two weeks, probably a short drive away from Windsor where William's family lives.

There will be pressure on the elder brother to take the lead, ease the pain and just create up with Harry now the siblings will be living in the same country.

"I think William doesn't care about the pressure to reconcile, " remarked royal author, Valentine Low. "If he doesn't want to reconcile with his brother since of the things he's done, the wrongs that he feels Harry's done to him, he's not going to reconcile. But it does improve the chances I think."

Notably, a number of residents from organisations who have worked with Prince William informed BBC News of their desire to backing William and support avoid Harry and Meghan becoming a distraction.

"This is a hard situation for him full of emotion and anger and we will support him, " the source remarked. "It is really important for me to ensure that any work we do with William will be focused on making a positive change and won't be affected by the Harry and Meghan drama." Back in 2018 the mood was particularly different.

Then the focus was not on division but on common ground and shared experiences.

"Losing our mother at a young age has helped us to travel through that difficult patch together, " William informed a mental health conference. "You're like-minded. You go through similar things, it's a bond and it's something you know you've tackled together and come out better for it."

That sense of unity through joint trauma is now long gone for William and Harry.

Trauma expert, Dr Gabor Mate, was interviewed by Harry regarding healing and loss ahead of the publication of the Duke of Sussex's memoir Spare. He is sympathetic to his change of heart around returning to the UK.

"He's obtained an ageing parent with a cancer diagnosis. The deepest human dynamic is attachment and connection and if that's what's motivating this I'm not in the least surprised."

Kensington Palace has been tight-lipped since news of the Sussexes' return. There has been no official comment and their team would not be drawn into conversations regarding Harry and Meghan. Their strategy is clearly to just carry on with royal business.

Over the next few months, the Prince of Wales has a number of projects with personal significance.

There is additionally a major project around mental health that will be rolled out in the coming weeks.

And in September comes a major moment in the life of any family when Prince George starts senior school. The media management of that moment at Eton College in Berkshire will be carefully choreographed. His parents will be fiercely protective of this significant milestone for their 13-year-old son and won't want him exposed to any family upset and drama.

William has faced the life-changing experience of supporting his wife through her cancer treatment while watching his father fight his own battle with the disease.

He is a different brother from the one Harry left behind six years ago.

And a brother who is not in the mood to forgive. For now.

"Having Harry nearby won't change the mood, " remarked a former colleague of the heir to the throne. "William will need time."
