Prince William is reportedly taking steps to prevent Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from regaining a prominent role within the royal family. Following the Sussexes’ return to the UK, King Charles issued a letter clarifying their status as non-working royals.
According to a source, William played a key role in the decision to issue the circular, allegedly because he wants to prevent his father from welcoming Harry and Meghan back with open arms.
Sources claim William repeatedly urges Charles to take further action over Harry and Meghan’s status
According to Closer, Prince William was reportedly behind King Charles’s bombshell letter concerning Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The Prince of Wales reportedly does not want the monarch to make the “colossal mistake” of welcoming the Sussexes back with open arms.
“William was very instrumental in getting that letter out; he’s taking it as a big win,” an insider said. According to the source, the development has “given him hope that his father might finally be seeing this more clearly.” The insider added that William “is not going to stop pushing until the King agrees to take away their titles.”
The source further claimed that William “hates that he has to constantly raise the issue with his father” and that “it’s caused a lot of strife between them.” However, the source said, “if it means protecting the monarchy and protecting his father from making a colossal mistake, it’s worth it to William.”
The 44-year-old Prince reportedly remains “furious” over the Sussexes’ tell-alls and interviews, which the source claimed have affected the reputation of the royals. According to Closer’s source, William is now determined to win the latest “battle.”
“When he’s got something in his sights, he won’t give up,” the source said. They pointed to William’s handling of now-disgraced royal Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor as an example. “For years, he was telling Charles he needed to take his titles and get tough, and it was a very long uphill battle,” the source explained.
Nevertheless, “William eventually got his way.” As a result, the Prince is “taking the same attitude here.” The source added, “He plans to work on his father every day if needed.”
