Prince William slaps Harry with 'absolute ban' and is 'calling the shots when it comes to family discipline'


"absolute ban" on Prince Harry being welcomed back into the royal family four years after the younger brother stepped back from royal duties and moved to California. The Prince of Wales, 42, is said to have ruled out a thawing of relations, and has recently taken on the role of disciplinarian - a role previously adopted by his late grandad Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

According to a source, those around the royal family sense that William has "stepped into the Prince Philip role", and is ruling with a "rod of iron". "Philip ruled the family with a rod of iron and you saw when he died that discipline collapsed," the source told the Daily Beast. Their family relations also took a hit at the weekend when Meghan's dad Thomas Markle gave an incredibly candid interview about his relationship with his daughter and grandchildren, expressing his sadness at the fact he'd never met Archie or Lilibet.
