Prince Harry allegedly tried calling Prince William shortly after their dad was accused of being racist.

In its Dec. 20 issue, Life & Style claimed that Prince William refused to answer Prince Harry’s call.

A source also claimed that the brothers’ relationship has become strained as ever.

During a recent interview, royal author Christopher Andersen defended Prince Charles amid allegations that he’s a racist. But even if he’s not to blame, the author still believes that racism happens within the royal fold.

“There is racism inside the royal machinery, as there is in the aristocracy and in Britain as a whole and in the British press,” he said.

Another source said that it’s unlikely for Prince William and Prince Harry’s relationship to recover because the brothers are dealing with one issue after another.

At first, they were feuding because of Prince Harry’s relationship with Meghan Markle. Then the brothers had a falling out after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex decided to quit The Firm.

Prince Harry and Markle’s allegations against the royal family did not sit well with Prince William. And the couple’s racism allegations were reportedly the final nail in the coffin in the brothers’ relationship.

But despite their falling out, some royal fans are hoping for a Christmas miracle. They are hoping that Prince William and Prince Harry would set their issues aside for the sake of their children.

While speaking with OK! magazine, royal author Katie Nicholl said that Prince William and Middleton will reach out to the Sussexes because they will send them presents before Christmas Day.

“They give gifts to the whole family and that includes all of their nieces and nephews,” Nicholl said.

However, exchanging presents is as far as Prince William and Prince Harry’s relationship could go because the latter doesn’t have plans to visit the royal family in the United Kingdom over the holidays.

A source said that Prince Harry and Markle are gearing for another Christmas in the United States – which is the country that they now consider home.

“They’ll have some get-togethers with friends and colleagues who’ve been by their side through thick and thin this year. They’ve done a ton of thoughtful shopping, and the toys and books, and other treats from Santa are going to make the little ones very happy. Though at the end of the day, all that matters to Harry is that they’ll be together,” the source said.
