Prince William now feels ‘indifference’ towards Prince Harry‘s outbursts and no longer talks about his brother, a source has claimed.
A friend of the Prince of Wales – who celebrated his 43rd birthday on Saturday – said he no longer cares what his brother says about the Royal Family to the public.
‘What has struck me the most recently is that he just doesn’t mention it at all,’ the insider has been quoted as saying by the Sunday Times.
‘It used to be that the family stuff was taking up a lot of space in his head, it was a very close relationship and he was very upset.
‘But he’s not letting it get to him at all any more. It is a change. It’s sad, but it’s a much healthier space for him to be at.’
The two brothers have barely spoken to each other since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex left the UK for the US and abandoned royal duties.
The rift was exacerbated by the publication of Harry’s memoir Spare that levelled accusations against his family.
Harry claimed that William, 42, branded Meghan ‘difficult’, ‘rude’ and ‘abrasive’, and even accused him of pushing him into a dog bowl.

The last time the warring brothers were publicly seen together was at the funeral for their uncle Robert Fellowes.
The youngest brother also reached out to William after his wife Kate Middleton’s shock cancer diagnosis.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were understood to have made contact with the Prince and Princess of Wales ‘privately’.
It was also claimed in the United States that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex only learnt about Kate’s condition at the same time the world heard the news.
Sources told the New York Post that the couple had ‘no idea’ about Kate’s illness.
Hours after the news, the couple released a short statement wishing the Princess of Wales and her family ‘health and healing’.
The couple said they hoped Kate and her family would be ‘able to do so privately and in peace’.
Most recently, Prince Harry gave a bombshell BBC interview where he revealed that the King ‘won’t speak to me because of this security stuff.’

Harry commented on his troubled relationship with Charles, saying that he doesn’t know ‘how much longer’ there was left for his father, who is battling cancer
Harry spoke to the BBC in Santa Barbara, California, after he lost a court of appeal over his and his family’s security arrangements on May 2.
The father-of-two commented on his troubled relationship with Charles, saying that he doesn’t know ‘how much longer’ there was left for his father, who is battling cancer.
‘Life is precious,’ he said. ‘I don’t know how much longer my father has, he won’t speak to me because of this security stuff. It would be nice to reconcile.’
William’s most recent milestone has been his 43rd birthday and tributes were posted by his father and wife, Kate Middleton.
Charles shared a believed-to-be unseen image of the heir – as well as a sweet message – via the Royal Family’s official X (formerly Twitter) account.
In the casual snap, the Prince of Wales is seen looking pensive as he sits outside in a field of grass in a rural setting.
Dressed in a button down pale blue shirt, as well as navy slacks, the royal’s informal look is further enhanced with his light beard.
The image was accompanied by a simple caption which read: ‘Happy Birthday to The Prince of Wales!’.

Many royal watchers took to the message to share their own well-wishes with the future king.
One wrote: ‘Happy birthday to our handsome and loyal Prince. Well done, your Majesty!’
Another added: ‘Happy 43rd Birthday to HRH The Prince of Wales! Your dedication to service and family is truly inspiring. Wishing you a joyful day surrounded by loved ones!’
‘Happy Birthday, William, The Prince of Wales,’ said another social media user, keeping it short and sweet.
Kate also shared a snap and short written message.
The adorable image posted by Kate via the Wales’ Kensington Royal social media account shows the heir sitting in a field, while playing with a group of small puppies, whose mother is believed to be Orla, the Wales’ family dog.
In the image, the father-of-three is dressed casually, wearing jeans paired with a long-sleeved green button down shirt, as the puppies crawl over him sweetly.
The photograph is accompanied by a caption from the Princess of Wales and other members of their family.
It says: ‘Happy birthday! Love C, G, C, L, Orla and the puppies!’
The Prince of Wales has enjoyed a busy week in the lead-up to his birthday after last weekend’s Trooping The Colour and joining the Royal Ascot carriage procession on Wednesday.
