London, UK – Prince Harry will be visiting London next week for the first time since his visit to see King Charles after his cancer diagnosis in February. However, it has been reported that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton and Prince William, will not be meeting with Prince Harry during his brief stay in London. This decision comes amidst tensions within the royal family, particularly concerning Harry’s memoir “Spare,” which reportedly left William and Catherine feeling betrayed.
According to sources close to the royals, the decision not to meet with Harry is rooted in a mutual understanding of each other’s positions. William and Kate have chosen to focus on protecting their family, particularly as Kate faces a vulnerable time due to her recent health challenges. While King Charles is open to reuniting with his son, William has no interest in reconciling with Harry at this time.
Despite the familial rift, Harry’s visit to London will be a significant moment as it marks his return to his home country since learning of Middleton’s cancer diagnosis. However, the lack of a meeting between Harry and his brother or other senior royals suggests that tensions remain high within the family.
During his visit, Harry is expected to stay in a hotel since the royals have not offered any of their residences for his accommodation. This will not be the first time Harry has opted to stay in a hotel during his quick trips to London, emphasizing the strained relationships within the family.
As Harry prepares for his solo trip to the UK, his wife Meghan Markle and their children are expected to stay home. However, the couple plans to travel to Nigeria later this month. The upcoming visits highlight the complexities of royal dynamics and the challenges they face in navigating personal and public expectations.
