William and Kate Are 'Nervous' About Prince Harry: Prince and Princess of Wales Hoping for 'Peace and Quiet' During Duke's May Trip to Britain
The health struggles of Kate, Princess of Wales, have left Prince William and the future queen feeling anxious about Prince Harry's upcoming visit to Britain. With the princess undergoing draining cancer treatments, the couple is "hoping for a peaceful and quiet environment" to support her recovery.
However, a friend of the pair told an outlet: "A visit from Harry, with all the drama that would bring, would be the opposite of that."
"William and Kate are really nervous that whether Harry comes alone or with Meghan, there are going to be difficulties, and a great deal of planning is going on to try to reduce all the inevitable awkwardness and embarrassment — one plan being looked is to let the brothers appear in public for a short period to try to show they can at least be civil to each other," royal author Tom Quinn dished about the Wales' Harry anxiety.
The formerly close millennial royals are said to have "no plans for a reconciliation," but a "very brief" reunion could happen to allow the Duke of Sussex to express his sympathies to the future queen in person.
This meeting would come after Harry's "blink, and you'll miss it" meeting with King Charles III on February 6, following the monarch's cancer disclosure. It has long been speculated that the "Fab Four," as they were nicknamed in 2018, actually despise one another. Shortly before her wedding to Harry in May of that year, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex-to-be, had a spat with Kate, the then-Duchess of Cambridge, about Prince Charlotte's bridesmaid dress.
"That rift about the dress started a feud that has never been resolved," another royal insider claimed.
Royal analyst Pandora Forsyth further added how the Prince and Princess of Wales are likely becoming "frustrated" by the monarchy's unwritten motto of: "never complain, never explain," which was perfected by the late Queen Elizabeth II. By convention, British royals under no circumstances talk about personal matters or respond to incendiary claims or allegations against them personally. This is meant to suggest that they are "above" squabbles or drama, but this may be a bit much for William and Kate to keep abiding by.
"Every time they turn around, Harry and Meghan have planted some new allegation against them or petty story," a palace insider spilled when discussing the future king and queen. "It is hard for them not to be able to defend themselves, but silence is always the best response."
A "reunion" of the "Fab Four" is probably nothing but a fantasy, in Forsyth's opinion.
