Prince William and Kate Middleton ‘stall’ reconciliation with Meghan Markle and Husband in the short-term

Amidst Kate Middleton’s cancer battle, the Prince and Princess of Wales have temporarily set aside the ‘Harry problem’, with no plans for reconciliation during the Duke of Sussex’s anticipated visit to the UK in May.

Following the revelation of Princess Kate’s preventative chemotherapy via video, Harry and Meghan reportedly reached out to William and Kate privately on Friday night. Details of the contact remain undisclosed, leaving uncertainty about whether Harry will return to the UK.

Reports from the United States suggest that Harry and Meghan were informed about Kate’s condition simultaneously with the rest of the world. Allegedly, Kate chose not to inform them due to concerns about their trustworthiness.

Harry is considering attending a service at St. Paul’s Cathedral to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the Invictus Games. This solo trip, likely without Meghan and their children, might present an opportunity to mend fences with his estranged brother, William.

Prince Harry visit isn’t considered a ‘priority’

Sources close to William and Kate suggest that, amidst Kate and King Charles‘ cancer diagnoses, the ‘Harry problem’ is currently not a priority. William is focused on safeguarding Kate’s privacy and the well-being of their children.

According to the New York Post, William and Kate were unaware of Kate’s illness until recently. The disclosure of contact between the brothers came from ITV Royal Editor Chris Ship.

Despite once describing Kate as the ‘big sister I never had’, Harry’s relationship with the Prince and Princess of Wales has soured post-Megxit. Their last encounter was after the Queen’s passing in September 2022.

At a memorial event for Princess Diana, the palpable tension between William and Harry was evident, with William leaving before Harry appeared via videolink.

Princess Kate shared her diagnosis in a video message, revealing that cancer was discovered post-abdominal surgery. She emphasized the challenges of recovery and explaining the situation to their children, George, Charlotte, and Louis.

In response to the news, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex issued a brief statement, expressing wishes for Kate’s health and the family’s well-being, urging privacy and peace during this time.
