Prince William and Kate Middleton reportedly traveled to their Scottish residence amid news of the Sussexes’ planned UK return. A source claimed that the Prince and Princess of Wales are not “delighted” by Prince Harry’s latest move, suggesting it could be difficult for them to see the Sussexes return to the public eye while their relationship remains strained beyond repair.
Prince William and Kate Middleton arrive at Balmoral amid Prince Harry’s move
Prince William and Kate Middleton joined King Charles at Balmoral with their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. The Waleses traditionally visit the Scottish residence each year, but it remains unclear how long they will stay this time. Their visit comes amid reports that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are planning to spend an extended period in the UK.
HELLO!’s royal editor Emily Nash discussed the Waleses’ reported reaction to the Sussexes’ return on the A Right Royal Podcast. She suggested that Prince William and Kate Middleton may not be particularly pleased by the prospect.
She explained, “Well, what is intriguing about this is the complete radio silence coming from that end of the spectrum. And what’s interesting about it is that they’re normally away at this time of year. I imagine they’re not delighted about this.”
Reflecting on the deeply strained relationship between the two couples, Nash added, “It’s going to be a very, very difficult hill to climb, having them suddenly back in the UK, popping up, doing things publicly, if that’s where they go with this. So much has been said and done that has damaged that relationship, almost beyond repair.”
Nash noted that she doesn’t see a world where the Sussexes would be greeted warmly by the Waleses. However, she thinks that if King Charles knew about the return beforehand, he might have discussed it with William. “We believe the Waleses were made aware beforehand. They didn’t find out at the same time as the rest of the world. So they’ve had time to process this,” she stated.
