A source claims that Prince William and Kate Middleton are in no rush to react to the Sussexes’ return to the UK. According to the insider, the couple is watching the developments from the sidelines and sees no need to communicate anything publicly. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle arrived in the UK on August 26 and are currently staying in private accommodation outside London.
Royal experts say Prince William and Kate Middleton are in no rush to reconcile with the Sussexes
A source told PEOPLE that Prince William and Kate Middleton are avoiding any “knee-jerk” reaction to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s return to the UK. “They are watching this space. It’s private — they don’t feel the need to say anything or demonstrate anything outwardly,” they said.
The insider also claimed that the Waleses are in no rush to restore their relationship with the Sussexes. They added that their reconciliation “will be a slow build. There is a deep sense of betrayal.”
Earlier, Royal expert Richard Palmer stated that the Waleses may need to coordinate with the Sussexes to avoid any diary clashes. In i-Paper, he explained that though Markle and Harry will continue to be private individuals, they will eventually garner significant media interest. This could also potentially overshadow the working royals.
“While visiting a charity in Los Angeles may go largely unnoticed, there will be far more media attention when they carry out visits in the UK, especially if one of the working Royal Family is doing something similar and possibly trying to communicate a different message, sources said,” he explained.
The royal commentator claimed that the Waleses will continue with their lives and won’t be paying much attention to the Sussexes. However, they may need to work together to prevent public engagement clashes, especially after previous disruptions to their agenda. On the contrary, another royal commentator, Lady Colin Campbell, said the royal family “wants absolutely nothing to do with her [Markle], and as little to do with Harry as possible.”
