Prince William has banned Prince Harry from a royal return “in any way, shape or form”, claimed an inside source.

It has been reported that William has taken on the role of being the disciplinarian – a role within the family that used to be held by the late Prince Philip. As part of the claims, which were made in response to a new YouGov poll about the most popular male royal, William has been described as the one who rules the family “with a rod iron”.

They added that William presents his discipline through an “absolute ban on Harry returning in any way, shape or form to the family fold”.
