Ana Navarro definitely did not approve of Prince Harry’s recent plea for reconciliation with his brother, Prince William.
On Wednesday’s episode of “The View,” the co-hosts discussed the Duke of Sussex’s GQ interview, published Tuesday, where he insisted that resolving his issues with his sibling is the “most important thing.”
“I think that a lot of the problem has been exacerbated by the fact that it’s been played out in public. So much of the dirty laundry has been aired out in public. Surely, they have relatives in common, friends in common,” Navarro, 54, said.
“I just think that if he had delivered that message privately right now, it might go further than continuing to do it publicly, because there’s been a breach of trust, and there’s been a lot of hurt on both sides,” Navarro continued.
The commentator said their fallout should have been dealt with away from the public eye.
“It needs to be dealt with privately, not with interviews and tell-all books and selling documentaries and things like that,” Navarro said.
“At some point he’s going to need to pick up the phone or go see his brother and have it out,” she said.
However, co-host Sunny Hostin pointed out she “suspects” Harry, 42, has previously tried to do so.
“I suspect one of the reasons he is publicly saying he wants to reconcile is so that they hear it,” Hostin, 58, theorized.
Whoopi Goldberg, who knows the “Spare” author personally, admitted that she believes the siblings will eventually make peace with each other.
The host’s commentary comes after Harry told GQ that he wanted to work things out with his brother.
“I want it to work out. Of course I do,” Harry said, while noting that “some people don’t want it to work out.”
He said that with everything happening in the world, reconciliation is “the key point,” and said that he “grieves” his estrangement from William.
The two siblings have been estranged after a series of public allegations made by Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, against the royal family.
In 2021, Markle and Harry sat down for a tell-all interview with Oprah, where she claimed an unnamed royal family member had raised concerns about the color of their now-7-year-old son, Prince Archie’s skin.
She also claimed that she struggled with her mental health, including suicidal thoughts.
The couple made even more allegations against the family in their 2022 Netflix documentary, “Harry and Meghan,” as well as in Harry’s 2023 memoir, “Spare.”
In the book, Harry branded his brother as his “archnemesis” and claimed that his sibling had physically attacked him.
However, despite their estrangement, Page Six exclusive revealed that Harry and Markle have returned to England with their two children, Archie, 7, and daughter Princess Lilibet, 5.
The couple moved back to be closer to Harry’s dad, King Charles, and to ensure their kids were close to their family.
Earlier this month, the couple made their first joint public appearance since moving back, visiting various charities in Nottingham.
