Kate Middleton, Prince William Allegedly Have No Plans To Reconcile With Harry, Meghan: Sources
Kate Middleton and Prince William have no plans to see Prince Harry on his upcoming return to the United Kingdom later this year, according to a report.
Some thought that Middleton's cancer diagnosis could pave the way for the royal family and the Sussexes to end their family feud. However, sources have claimed that a reconciliation is unlikely to happen.
Unnamed tipsters told the Telegraph that the Prince and Princess of Wales are unlikely to meet the Duke and Duchess of Sussex should they visit London. Sources close to the Waleses said their "Harry problem" was the last thing on their mind, with King Charles and Middleton both battling cancer.
The tipsters stressed that Prince William "has always done all he can to protect his family" and will do whatever it takes to keep his wife's privacy throughout her treatment.
Prince Harry was reportedly hoping to attend a service at St. Paul's Cathedral to mark the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. However, the rumored plans haven't been confirmed yet after he lost his security legal battle in the U.K. The outlet noted that should Prince Harry visit his home country, it would be unlikely for Markle and their kids -- Archie, 4, and Lilibet, 2 -- to accompany him.
Prince Harry's solo visit could be an opportune time for the royal siblings to build bridges. However, Prince William's issues with his younger brother are reportedly the least of his current concerns.
Meanwhile, Sally Bedell Smith, an American journalist and biographer, believes that the future queen consort has enough support and doesn't need her brother-in-law and his wife.
"Kate doesn't need Harry and Meghan to console her," the author of "Elizabeth the Queen: The Life of a Modern Monarch" told the New York Times. "She has her parents and a sister, and she's very close to King Charles."
Prince William's wife and father reportedly had an "emotional" lunch the day before the former announced her cancer diagnosis to the world on Friday. King Charles also announced earlier this year that he was diagnosed with some form of cancer.
"It is highly unusual for just the two of them to sit down together like this," an unnamed insider told The Sun.
King Charles reportedly "left his lunch feeling very emotional." His Majesty was already aware before he traveled from London to Windsor about his daughter-in-law's condition.
"They are very close, and he thinks of Catherine as his daughter," the tipster continued. "There is no doubt there is a lot they can share and can use each other for support during their own deeply personal cancer battles."
King Charles also released a statement after Middleton's cancer diagnosis announcement, expressing support for his son's wife.
"His Majesty is so proud of Catherine for her courage and speaking as she did. Following their time in hospital together, His Majesty has remained in the closest contact with his beloved daughter-in-law throughout the past weeks," Buckingham Palace said in a statement obtained by Us Weekly.
"Both their Majesties [Charles and Camilla] will continue to offer their love and support to the whole family throughout this difficult time."
