LONDON, ENGLAND — Buckingham Palace is reportedly breathing a collective sigh of relief after Prince William demonstrated that a man with a loving wife, three children, royal residences, enormous inherited privilege and the eventual crown of the United Kingdom can somehow survive without his younger brother.
The astonishing breakthrough follows a Fox News report on the royal feud, in which royal biographer Christopher Andersen suggested that William and Prince Harry have learned to live without each other.
Royal observers called the development remarkable, particularly because William has never previously been required to experience hardship without an extensive household staff.
Palace Officials Confirm William Has Other Things Going On
According to an entirely unofficial palace assessment, William’s recovery began when advisers reminded him that he was married to Catherine, Princess of Wales, had three children and was first in line to inherit a monarchy.
“His Royal Highness initially expressed concern about losing his brother,” explained one satirical palace adviser. “Then we showed him a photograph of Windsor Castle and reminded him that he would eventually be king. His spirits improved considerably.”
The adviser added that William had recently completed an entire afternoon without mentioning Harry, an achievement previously believed possible only through general anaesthesia.
Kate Middleton Discovers Husband Comes With Fewer Family Arguments
Catherine reportedly welcomed the development after discovering that family gatherings could now proceed without someone wondering whether the conversation might eventually become a Netflix documentary.
“Most wives worry about their husbands spending too much time with their brothers,” observed fictional marriage counsellor Dr Nigel Puddington. “Kate has the opposite problem. Her brother-in-law might turn Christmas lunch into a six-part television event.”
Puddington estimated that the average British family argument lasts 43 minutes, while a royal family argument can generate approximately six years of newspaper coverage, three biographies and a permanent employment opportunity for seventeen royal experts.
Harry Still Available for Reconciliation, Interviews and Publishing Opportunities
Prince Harry has publicly expressed a desire for reconciliation, although the precise mechanics of repairing the relationship remain complicated.
Ordinary siblings generally resolve disputes through apologies, awkward Christmas dinners or refusing to speak until someone needs help moving furniture.
The Windsors prefer constitutional symbolism, international media coverage and negotiations involving people whose professional qualifications include knowing which fork the king uses.
A California-based observer suggested Harry could try contacting William privately.
Unfortunately, royal communications experts believe the concept of a private conversation has become so unfamiliar that both brothers would require special training.
Royal Experts Warn William May Be Enjoying His Life
The greatest concern among royal commentators is that William may have discovered something genuinely dangerous: peace and quiet.
For years, the royal family has operated under the assumption that every disagreement requires a statement, every statement requires clarification and every clarification requires a television special.
William’s apparent decision to continue living normally threatens an entire industry.
One fictional Buckingham Palace economist estimated that reconciliation could eliminate thousands of speculative headlines annually.
“We’re talking about serious economic consequences,” he explained. “If these brothers resolve their differences, seventeen royal commentators may have to learn plumbing.”
Britain Confronts the Possibility That Two Brothers Can Live Separately
Meanwhile, ordinary Britons expressed bewilderment that two middle-aged brothers living separate lives constituted an international emergency.
“My brother moved to Birmingham in 2008,” explained a fictional London electrician. “Haven’t spoken to him since Easter. Nobody’s written a bloody book about it.”
Palace insiders nevertheless remain cautiously optimistic about William’s future.
He still has his wife, children, royal duties, substantial privileges and a kingdom awaiting him.
The only remaining question is whether Britain can survive without another documentary explaining why Harry isn’t speaking to him.
