Prince William has reportedly drawn a clear line on his conversations with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ahead of their upcoming visit to the UK. According to royal commentator Dan Wakeford, the future monarch will only be in the presence of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex during formal, publicly scheduled events.Speaking to Fox News Digital, Wakeford highlighted the stark difference in views between Prince William and King Charles III regarding their younger family members. While reports suggest that King Charles will spend time with Harry, Meghan and their two children during the summer visit, Prince William appears to have taken a distinctly different stance on the family reunion.
Prince William has strong boundaries towards Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
Wakeford describes the current state of William’s family with particularly telling language. “The Wales family is completely closed right now,” the expert told the outlet, emphasizing the closed nature of William and Kate’s family unit.Asked about the possibility of William arranging a private meeting with Harry and Meghan, Wakeford was unequivocal. “[William’s] “The position has not changed and they will not arrange to see Harry and Meghan outside of an official public engagement,” he said. “I don’t think that will happen.”
Fundamental changes in Prince Harry and Prince William’s relationship
According to sources, there has been a fundamental change in the relationship between the two brothers which cannot be reversed. Rob Shooter’s Naughty But Nice Substack reports that Harry and Meghan are responsible for the change in public statements about the royal family after William steps down from official royal duties in 2020.“William believes the relationship has fundamentally changed,” a source told the outlet. “He’s moved on emotionally and it’s very hard to reverse,” the insider said, noting that William made a deliberate emotional decision to distance himself from his little brother instead of trying to reconcile.
