Prince William sees no future with Harry, Meghan Markle after becoming king: Royal Family Insider
Prince William has no intention of reconciling with his brother Prince Harry and sister-in-law Meghan Markle when he eventually becomes King, a Royal Family insider suggests
The source tells OK! Magazine that a firm strategy is in place, aligning with earlier reports that this action will be taken shortly after his accession. The move is described as both “swift and final”.
“William is already planning for when he becomes King, and he doesn’t see a future for the Sussexes in the Royal Family. The feeling is that allowing the Sussexes back into the fold is a bad move and they should be resigned to the fringes indefinitely,” the source said
The future king reportedly aims to take a more distant and indifferent stance towards the Duke and the Duchess of Sussex, even more so than King Charles.
A former palace staff member suggested there would likely be no invitations extended to them, unlike those occasionally given by William and Harry’s father.
“I would go so far as to predict the Prince of Wales could issue a Letters Patent when king that strips the entire family of their HRH styles. He cannot touch the Sussex Dukedom title, and would have to request parliament to handle that removal,” the source said.
