Royal experts believe Prince William and Kate Middleton have no desire to reunite with Prince Harry or Meghan Markle.
Harry, 38, flew to London Thursday without Markle, 42, to attend a WellChild charity event, one day before the anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s death.
While it’s unclear if the Duke of Sussex will join family members in honoring his late grandmother’s memory, royal expert Kinsey Schofield suspects that William and Kate are “dreading” Prince Harry’s visit.
“It is my understanding that the Prince and Princess of Wales have no desire to meet with Harry – with or without Meghan Markle,” Schofield told Fox News in an interview published Thursday.
“There is a severe lack of trust, and they don’t want the conversation repeated to anyone.”
The “To Di For Daily” podcast host added that William and Middleton, both 41, most likely don’t want Harry’s presence to distract from honoring the longest-reigning British monarch, who died on Sept. 8, 2022 at age 96.
“Especially when William and [Middleton] are expected to publicly acknowledge the anniversary of the late queen’s passing. Harry will be, no doubt, a distraction and will create conflicting headlines that the palace will not appreciate,” Schofield said.
“He’s damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t. … It’s a tough spot to be in, but Harry seems to be prioritizing philanthropy right now. I’m not surprised by his eagerness to attend.”
