Despite his arrival in London for the Invictus Games anniversary, Prince Harry's absence from a potential reunion with his family, including his sister-in-law Kate Middleton, has sparked speculation about ongoing tensions. Experts believe that William's protective nature towards his ailing wife and Harry's previous attacks on Camilla in his memoir may hinder any reconciliation attempts.
Prince Harry's visit to London for the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games has been overshadowed by the absence of his wife, Meghan Markle, and the ongoing drama surrounding his relationship with the royal family. While Harry has expressed his desire to reconnect with Kate Middleton, royal watchers believe it is unlikely due to the strained relationship between the brothers and their wives.
Royal biographer Christopher Andersen claims that Harry was deeply affected by news of Kate's cancer diagnosis, which he learned through social media. However, Andersen believes that Prince William is unwilling to allow his brother near his ailing wife due to past conflicts and lingering bitterness.
A spokesperson for the Duke of Sussex confirmed that Harry will not be meeting with his father, King Charles III, during his stay in London, citing Charles' busy schedule. However, Andersen believes that the king has softened towards his younger son but is cautious due to Harry's previous attacks on Camilla in his memoir, "Spare."
While the Princess of Wales has been keeping a low profile during her recovery from an undisclosed form of cancer, the king has resumed public duties. However, experts believe that William will remain protective of his wife and will not tolerate any disruptions to her healing process.
Helena Chard, a British broadcaster and photographer, believes that a meeting between Harry and Middleton is unlikely as the princess needs positive influences around her. She suggests that William will not welcome his chaotic brother, who has caused significant hurt and upset to the royal family.
Other experts, such as Ian Pelham Turner, believe there has been no cooling of hostilities between Harry and William. They suggest that King Charles would like to resolve the issue privately, particularly as he misses his American grandchildren.
Despite the ongoing tensions, experts agree that Harry will continue to focus on his Invictus Games project, an event he founded in 2014 to inspire military veterans overcoming battlefield injuries. The games were initially a part of the charitable organization shared by Harry, William, and Middleton.
