Prince William
When eventually King Charles dies, Prince William will become the next king. As such he will automatically become head of the Church of England.
One of the cardinal teachings of the church is forgiveness.
To many it might appear that the rift between the two brother, William and Harry, is beyond healing.
I beg to differ. As future head of the Church, forgiveness is imperative.

The key to reconciliation lies in differentiation.
Differentiation is how a person can be true to themselves while being close to another with whom they have a profound disagreement.
Such individuals are able to manage individuality and togetherness without pulling apart because of differences.
In a situation such as these brothers face, there’s no need for any kind of apology. Each can honor their differences and stay connected.
Differentiation allows a person to function individually and be closely connected emotionally.
Life has set a situation up for each of the brothers and their wives to grow themselves up spiritually. In doing so, they will set an example for all of us to be true to ourselves, remaining connected even when we profoundly disagree.
