and 's fractured relationship seems to remain unhealed as there is "no going back" for the once close siblings, a royal expert has claimed.

The royal brothers are reportedly still not on speaking terms nearly a year after Prince Harry made revelations about the Royal Family in his memoir, Spare.

The Duke of Sussex also spoke about an alleged physical altercation between the two, adding more fuel to the fire.

Royal biographer Omid Scobie - co-author of the bestselling biography Finding Freedom - told People that Harry hoped his memoir would help him communicate with his family, but "there is no going back" for the brothers.

He said: "I saw Harry's release of Spare as his last attempt at telling his family how he's felt for years.

"Because clearly there's never been an open enough forum to have these conversations or share these feelings."

According to the royal biographer, the brothers are still not on speaking terms nearly a year after Harry broke his silence.

Mr Scobie is all set to release his book, Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy’s Fight For Survival, which will discuss the aftermath of the death of Queen Elizabeth II and further dissect the fallout that resulted when Harry and wife Meghan Markle stepped back from their royal roles in early 2020.

Mr Scobie said: "I was talking to a source quite early on in the process, and they called Harry a ‘defector’ and said that was William's view.

"These were two men who once upon a time were firmly aligned in their outlook. One of them had to move on to also protect the Crown."

He told People that he thinks William has prioritised a certain vision of the monarchy over his relationship with his brother.

He added: "In the eyes of some within the institution, Harry is a threat to the crown. His freedom to exert his own thinking outside of the confines of the institution has made him the enemy."
