Harry is reported to have reached out to his brother and sister-in-law last month

Prince Harry has been given the "cold shoulder" after reportedly "reaching out" to his brother Prince William, and sister-in-law Kate Middleton.

The Duke of Sussex jetted from LA to London back in February after he found out that his father, King Charles, had been diagnosed with cancer. Flying for 10-hours across the Atlantic, the Duke was reported to have spent around half an hour with his father when visiting him in London.

And now it has emerged that Harry allegedly reached out to his brother ahead of his visit to his homeland. Although the Duke reached out to the Prince of Wales, there were reportedly "no plans" to meet with a former courtier suggesting to the outlet that the Prince of Wales' "principal concern is his wife" following her abdominal surgery.

"It would be the normal run of things to go and see your sister-in-law who's had a serious operation and also see your niece and nephews. But it isn't normal. It's terribly sad," a source close to the royal household told People magazine this week.

This comes after royal expert Christopher Anderson spoke about Prince Harry and his sister-in-law Kate's relationship. Speaking to Us Weekly, Mr Anderson said: "I think there was once a relationship, a friendship, a very close one between Harry and Kate. I’m sure he’s concerned about her as well, but I know that she wants to have nothing to do with them."

Mr Anderson was then asked about Harry reaching out to Kate after her surgery, revealing: "My understanding is he hasn’t, and it is a stalemate. They’re both on opposite sides of this wall and nobody has the courage to leap over it and really make an honest attempt."

This comes as Prince Harry's wife Meghan Markle prepares to deliver a speech at the South by Southwest Festival tonight in Austin, Texas. The Duchess of Sussex is expected to travel from LA to Texas on her own in a defiant statement on International Women's Day.
