Instead, someone else has taken his place. "George's original 'fun uncle' and adult playmate did that infamous bolt to the U.S., leaving a huge Harry-shaped gap in the young boy's life that Mike has more than filled," Judi James told Fabulous magazine in reference to Zara Tindall's husband, Mike Tindall.

"Mike is the fun uncle everyone needs, but in the case of Prince George, whose destiny is all about duty and responsible behaviour, Mike's presence in his life is completely invaluable," Judi James continued. Zara Tindall and Mike Tindall have a close friendship with
Prince William and
Kate Middleton, as their kids are often seen playing with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

Meanwhile,
Prince Harry, who has been on the outs since he left the royal family in 2020, expressed an interest in reconciling with the Prince of Wales and
King Charles III amid their feud. However, the brothers failed to reunite during the duke's meeting with their father. "I think that Harry's relationship with his brother is a different beast than his relationship with his father," royal expert
Kristen Meinzer told Us Weekly. "But perhaps if Charles warms more to Harry, William will feel compelled to follow his lead."

Prince William "doesn't talk about Harry anymore" and he is "done" with his brother, a source said.
Prince Harry attacked the Prince of Wales' appearance and painted the future king as ill-tempered and cold toward his wife,
Meghan Markle, in his memoir,
Spare.
