A royal expert claims that Prince William and Kate Middleton feel "humiliated" after Prince Harry's reunion with King Charles. This is because they wanted to keep their distance from the Sussexes. They also hoped the monarch would do the same and allegedly believed the private meeting should not have happened.
Royal expert Emily Andrews said that Prince William and Kate Middleton may have felt "humiliated" following the Sussexes' return to the UK for the reunion. This is because they were firm about maintaining their no-contact boundaries with the Sussexes and hoped the monarch would follow it too. However, that doesn't appear to be the case, given recent reports suggest King Charles is extending an olive branch to Prince Harry to stay at Buckingham Palace on his next visit.
Andrews notes that the reunion has been a win for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. She further explains that Harry's exit from the royal family, along with the criticisms and alleged betrayals that followed, continues to sting the family.
As a result, the future king remains firm in his stance toward his younger brother and allegedly believes the reunion should not have happened. She further claimed that the monarch's first duty is to "the heir and his wife" and not "the spare."
She further touched upon how the Sussexes are focused on their personal gains, benefiting from the royal status and not officially accepting the duties. This half-in/half-out arrangement was previously rejected by the late Queen Elizabeth II and doesn't sit well with the Waleses either.

Prince Harry's recent reunion with King Charles III appears to have eased one strained royal relationship, but reports indicate that his rift with Prince William remains unchanged.
People reported that the brothers are still not communicating, despite Harry spending several days in the United Kingdom with Meghan Markle, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet earlier in July.
A separate report now claims that direct contact is so difficult that Harry has asked relatives, palace aides and mutual friends to convey his willingness to meet privately.
Neither brother has publicly confirmed that intermediaries are carrying messages between them.
Harry traveled to Britain for several charitable engagements, including events connected to the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham. On July 10, King Charles and Queen Camilla hosted Harry, Meghan and their children at Highgrove House in Gloucestershire.

(NewsNation) — Canadian taxpayers are furious they had to fork out hundreds of thousands of dollars to protect Prince Harry while he was wooing Meghan Markle and during his time promoting Invictus.
Even worse, they also found out they spent more to cover the ginger prince over five years than any other internationally protected person over the same period.
According to a document obtained by CBC News (which it received under Canada's access to information law), "the RCMP spent at least $539,575 to provide security between 2014/15 and 2019/20 when Prince Harry travelled to Canada for events like the Invictus Games and to date his future wife, Meghan Markle."
Rosie O'Donnell avoided weight loss drug side effects by taking it slowly
These costs were much higher than the $334,337 initially revealed by the RCMP in 2021, which "accounted for around 10% of the over $5.2 million spent during that period to provide security to more than 100 internationally protected persons who visited Canada."

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have often been compared to Prince William and Kate Middleton. Recently, a royal expert revealed a major difference between the two royal couples. While they praised the Wales pair for maintaining "authenticity," they insisted the Sussexes allegedly lack that quality. They highlighted why people reportedly couldn't build trust around Markle and Harry.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry reportedly lack one key aspect compared to Prince William and Kate Middleton. A royal commentator and PR expert, Sharon Williams of Taurus Marketing, told News24 how different the two royal couples have been. According to her, the Sussexes often "swap and change" in the public eye. Meanwhile, the Wales couple are said to be "authentic."
"[Markle and Harry] have become famous for the very fact that you don't know what you're going to get. You literally don't know what they're going to do next. So they've not built an authentic brand, or at least she hasn't," the expert said.
Furthermore, she insisted that people loved Harry because he was "Diana's son." After marrying Markle, things seemed to have changed, but the couple allegedly "haven't quite worked out what they are." Reportedly, people seemed "tired" of them because of their lack of "authenticity."
Meanwhile, Middleton and William have performed their duties with that quality. According to the royal expert, the Wales pair has always been "honorable" and "dedicated" to their roles. "They don't come out and say unusual, surprising things. They are an authentic brand, and you know what you're going to get," she added.

King Charles was reportedly shocked by Meghan Markle's Princess Diana Instagram post. Interestingly, this comes after the Sussexes met King Charles and Queen Camilla at the monarch's Highgrove residence in Gloucestershire. For those unversed, Markle shared photos of Harry and their children visiting Diana's final resting place at Althorp, the Spencer family estate.
Reports claim that Meghan Markle's Instagram tribute to Princess Diana took King Charles aback. As per Rob Shuter, royal insiders dished: "This has upset people who normally defend Meghan." One source reportedly added that "the backlash isn't just coming from her critics anymore."
Reports claim that the decision of his younger daughter-in-law to showcase such a private moment on social media for the world to see "genuinely shocked" Charles.
The palace source shared: "The family has always treated Diana's grave as a place of quiet reflection. If she took the photo there, many believe she should never have posted it on social media."
Another royal source echoed the previous source's sentiments, stating: "Even people who usually refuse to comment on Harry and Meghan are wincing. The feeling is that some family moments are simply too sacred to share."

Meghan and Prince Harry joined the project as executive producers through Archewell Productions.

Prince Harry reportedly wants his and wife Meghan Markle's children to spend more time with their grandfather, King Charles III, following their recent reunion.
The Spare author, 41, and the 44 year-old With Love, Meghan host's kids, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, traveled to the U.K. earlier this month and reunited with the sovereign, 77.
"Getting the kids back together with Charles is absolutely top of Harry's agenda right now, it's practically all he can talk about," the source tells Examiner. "He has his heart set on bringing them back for Christmas but he'd love to fit in a trip before then, too, if they can find a window in everyone's schedules."

However, the source says while the As Ever founder is "all for him being positive and trying to rebuild things with Charles," she doesn't want it to come "at the expense of their own sanity."

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle took their two children, Archie and Lilibet, to visit the childhood home of the Duke of Sussex's late mother, Princess Diana, during their recent European vacation, it has been revealed.
Meghan, 44, shared several photos from the family's recent trip overseas on her Instagram account, including one image that show her daughter, Lilibet, 5, walking through the grounds of Princess Diana's family estate, Althorp, holding what appears to be a tiny handbag and a blanket.
Harry, 41, and Archie, 7, are pictured strolling just a head of her, both carrying what seem to be bouquets of flowers.
Another snap appears to show Meghan reclining on a sun lounger next to the pool at the estate, cuddling the family's Beagle, Mamma Mia, who is thought to have traveled to Europe with them. Spencer's new wife, Cat Jarman, is seen in the background, along with her husband.
It's understood that the family were invited to the property by Diana's brother, Charles Spencer, who still owns the estate and resides there with his new wife. According to People magazine, the Sussexes "may have visited Diana's burial site, which is located on an island in the middle of the estate's Oval Lake."

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may have to change the way they handle royal matters. As per a source, working as a united front is no longer helping their efforts to repair family ties. The claim follows the couple's recent private visit to the United Kingdom, which has fueled fresh speculation about reconciliation behind palace doors. Insiders now allege Harry thinks a different approach is needed if they want to keep rebuilding trust with the royal family.
Reports suggest Prince Harry believes he and Meghan Markle may need to step away from their usual way of doing things. The couple has long stood together through public criticism and royal disputes. However, an insider now claims that approach could make reconciliation more difficult.
The alleged shift comes after the Sussexes' recent private trip to the U.K. Harry and Markle were understood to be joined by Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet for a family reunion that was kept out of the spotlight. No official photographs were released, and Markle's social media also remained unusually quiet.
According to a source who spoke with Closer Online, that was no coincidence. The insider claimed Harry wants to show he can respect his father's wishes by keeping family matters private. He is also reportedly trying to avoid the kind of public attention that previously strained relations with the royal family.
Still, that has allegedly created a difficult situation at home. "Harry is in a very awkward position because he's now got to find a way to abide by his father's wishes without completely sacrificing his own values or making his wife feel like she's not being heard," the source claimed.

Prince William is reportedly open to having a reunion with his brother, Prince Harry, but there is a condition. Harry was in the UK recently on a trip related to the Invictus Games. While he and his wife Meghan Markle, along with their kids, met King Charles in private, a reunion between him and William didn't happen.
According to a report by Woman's Day, Prince William is ready to meet Prince Harry, but only on a strict condition. Sources suggest that the Prince of Wales wants a legal contract before he meets his brother.
Prince William and Harry have been on bad terms for a long time. On his recent trip to the UK, Harry had a chance to meet with King Charles during a private meeting that involved his wife, Meghan Markle, and their kids, Archie and Lilibet. This was the first time in four years that the King met with his grandchildren.
While referring to William's potential plans to meet with Harry, a source told the outlet, "Harry might have charmed his way with his father, but it's going to take a lot more than a few feeble gestures to convince William to give him another chance." They stated that William and his wife, the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, still feel the "hurt and humiliation" from the public attacks Harry and Markle have made on the monarchy. The relationship between the two brothers was hit hard following Harry and Markle's interview with Oprah Winfrey and the former's memoir.
A source further stated, "William says a legally binding contract is the only language the Sussexes will understand." His reported proposed contract states that Harry and Markle would not make any public attacks on the Royal Family. It also conveys that the couple must adhere to boundaries when using their Royal ******* les for their brands. William allegedly wants Harry and Markle to stop mentioning the members of the Royal Family in public.

A journalist suggests that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle might need a fresh reset after a string of setbacks in Hollywood. He also noted that Meghan may have been disappointed by the lack of public engagements in their UK visit. He further touched on the Sussexes' financial situation, their Hollywood struggles, and the debatable aftermath of the reunion.
Journalist Nelson Aspen, along with Will Kingston, discussed the Sussexes' Hollywood struggles and how they need a major rebranding effort. Aspen alleged that Meghan Markle could have been "sad" as her return to the UK was not captured publicly.
He said, "However, she said she would let Harry lead the way and she was very supportive of him, and I think it's wonderful that your king somehow managed to wait them out and play them like a fiddle." He further mentioned that the couple does need a "reinvention" as they struggle to keep their footing in Hollywood.
Aspen noted that Prince Harry is likely trying to get back into the royal family's good graces. The expert added that the reunion was the perfect opportunity to take a step in that direction. Kingston argued that both Sussexes constantly attempt to reinvent themselves publicly through various projects. Those efforts, however, appear to fail repeatedly.
He claimed that "neither of them has a great deal of talent" required to sustain long-term success in the industry. However, he believes that the Invictus Games do contribute slightly positively to their rebranding. Aspen then pointed out Harry's financial difficulties with the Invictus Games. He noted how several people want him removed from it.

Prince William reportedly set firm terms before any reunion with Prince Harry. The Prince of Wales was said to face pressure to repair the family rift. However, a new source claimed he wanted "consequences" first. That included a public apology from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
The report framed the demand around past interviews, "Spare," and future palace boundaries. It also suggested any reunion would happen only under William's rules after Charles met Harry.
As per the Now To Love report, insiders discussed the royal standoff. The outlet said William faced pressure to "be the bigger person." However, the report said a reunion would happen only "on William's terms." One insider claimed, "Harry might have charmed his way with his father." The source added it would take "a lot more than a few feeble gestures."
That was needed to win another chance, according to the report. The outlet linked William's stance to past public claims, including those made by Oprah and in "Spare."
Meanwhile, the report said accountability was the main condition. A palace insider claimed, "There have to be consequences." The source said those would start with "a public apology from both Harry and Meghan."

Sources suggest that Prince Harry was forced to warn Meghan Markle to put aside her pride. He reportedly believes it's the only way to reconcile with the royal family and regain their trust. Sources also claim that, according to Harry, if they continue to maintain a tough attitude, they might lose the chance to get in the family's good books.
According to a Heat World report, Prince Harry has urged Markle to "swallow her pride" following their reunion with King Charles. It's learned that the private family gathering has been a humbling experience for the Duke of Sussex. However, he doesn't want their tough attitudes to ruin the opportunity for possibly a second invite or a chance at reconciliation.
The insiders said, "Clearly they've been pretty humbled by everything that's happened. As much as they don't want to accept it, their only choice is to abide by the King's terms if they want any hope of rebuilding the relationship."
They further revealed that Harry tried to convince Meghan to take some steps back if they wanted to regain the royal family's trust. He is reportedly making her understand that they need to stop playing "hardball"; otherwise, they might lose the opportunity, which they certainly cannot afford to.
The source elaborated, "They've got to swallow their pride, follow all directions from Charles and his aides, and prove they can be trusted." They also touched upon how the Sussexes really don't have a choice, with their current financial situation in mind. According to an earlier update by Rob Shuter, Harry and Meghan have been facing financial troubles. An insider revealed to the outlet that Meghan has become increasingly frustrated being the only earner in the family. She reportedly wants Harry to step up financially.

Sources suggest that Prince Charles' reunion has renewed Prince Harry's interest in rejoining the Royal family. He looks forward to making an arrangement that perfectly balances life in the UK and the US. However, it's known that this idea doesn't sit well with his wife, Meghan Markle.
A source close to the Sussexes said that Prince Harry allegedly wants to return to his royal life, following the emotional reunion with King Charles. They revealed that he hopes his kids will experience the life he once had. Harry also hopes they witness his father, with whom he has a complicated relationship, fulfilling his grandfatherly duties.
The insider told Online Radar, "Harry came away from that visit with a renewed sense of what he misses—seeing his father as a grandfather and watching his children explore a place that is part of their heritage. It has made him more determined to find a way back, at least part-time." However, they added that Harry has no plans to abandon the life he built in California over the years. The source mentioned that he's trying to arrange for them to live in the UK with proper security and continue developing their lives in the US. As he sees it, it's not an "all-or-nothing" situation.
Sources claimed Markle's views on the matter clash with Prince Harry's. This is because she isn't thrilled about returning to the royal family. Markle knows they left it for a reason. They said she believes that the possibility of going back to the UK would expose them to the same pressures and scrutiny that led them to leave in the first place. Insiders claim she's left "fuming" over her husband's desire to return to their royal life (via Sky News).

A venue fit for royalty served as the backdrop for Meghan Markle's 2019 baby shower. On a snowy February day, the year before she and Prince Harry stepped back as senior members of the royal family, the **** ss of Sussex was showered with love by friends at New York's luxurious The Mark Hotel.
The 16-story neo-Italian Renaissance, landmark building, located on the corner of 77th Street and Madison Avenue in Manhattan, was designed by architects Schwartz & Gross in 1926. The property offers 106 rooms, 44 suites and three penthouses.
The Mark Penthouse on the hotel's 16th floor is where Meghan's baby shower was held. The penthouse spanning 10,000 square feet is the largest in the country. It features four bedrooms, four fireplaces, five full bathrooms, two powder rooms, two wet bars, a Technogym fitness room and spa, in addition to a 2,500-square-foot rooftop terrace complete with a cold plunge. Described as the hotel's "ravishing grand penthouse," the residence comes with a crown-worthy bill, costing $100,000 per night, plus tax.
Amal Clooney, Serena Williams, Gayle King, Daniel Martin, Jessica Mulroney and Abigail Spencer were among the guests who gathered at the penthouse for the baby shower to celebrate the **** ss, who was pregnant with her and Harry's first child, son Prince Archie, at the time. The festivities that day included flower arranging, with the flowers later donated to charity.
"My girlfriends surprised me with a really beautiful baby shower in New York," the Suits alum recalled in her and Harry's 2022 Netflix docuseries. "They're like, 'We're going to shower her with love and shower her baby"...and boy did they in style!"

Prince Harry's possible return to the UK royal life comes with one particular palace boundary. Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, are reportedly eyeing a UK return after their private meeting with King Charles on July 10 at his residence. However, Buckingham Palace is not ready to welcome the Sussexes just yet and has allegedly raised doubts over his sudden desire to return to Britain.
Prince Harry's possible royal return reportedly comes with terms and conditions. The Duke of Sussex may be longing for his home country and the royal life he left behind to pursue his American dream. However, Buckingham Palace is not ready to welcome him just yet.
A senior royal source raised suspicion to Rob Shuter's Naughty But Nice, stating, "No one doubts Harry misses parts of his old life. The question is what exactly he misses. Is it his family—or the status, security, and influence that came with being a working royal?"
Those close to Harry's father, King Charles, have shared that the royal palace does not trust the Sussexes anymore. Another insider shared, "Trust has been shattered. Private family conversations have become books, television interviews, documentaries, lawsuits, and endless headlines. People inside the Palace are asking one question: what's different this time?"
As per Shuter, Buckingham Palace is not on board with the Sussexes' part-time royal ***** le. The pair sought this arrangement when they had stepped down as working royals in 2020. However, the palace is reportedly not interested in this "half-in, half-out" arrangement.

Prince Harry allegedly endured "uncomfortable" security checks before sitting down with King Charles. The claim came from an insider following the Duke and ****** ss's first joint UK visit in years. The trip highlighted the complex dynamics within the royal household as he and Meghan Markle seek to rebuild family ties.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are said to have faced rigorous security screening before their closely guarded meeting with King Charles and Queen Camilla.
According to sources who spoke to RadarOnline.com, it stemmed from ongoing concerns about privacy and potential leaks of sensitive conversations. The extraordinary measures, insiders claimed, point to the deep mistrust that still surrounds the Duke and ****** ss despite the low-key family gathering.
"Every precaution was taken before the Sussexes were allowed into the residence. Staff were determined that nothing capable of recording private conversations or compromising security would make its way inside. It was undoubtedly an uncomfortable experience for Harry and Meghan, as they were essentially frisked like any other commoner, but those organizing the visit believed it was essential – and the order came directly from Charles," stated the source.
The insider noted that the protocols stemmed from continued unease within royal circles, not outright hostility. They revealed that the security checks were embarrassing, but considered a necessary step toward restoring trust. Officials and the King demanded the measures amid worries that private discussions would be made public if the Sussexes attended.

Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, reportedly had to pay an "embarrassing" price to have the reunion with King Charles and Queen Camilla. On July 10, the King and the Queen hosted the Duke of Sussex, the ******* ss of Sussex, and their children, Princess Lilibet and Prince Archie, at Highgrove estate in Gloucestershire.
However, according to a report, a source claimed the Sussex couple had to undergo strict security checks before the reunion. In the meantime, with this reunion, King Charles met his grandkids after four years.
King Charles reportedly gave orders for a body search of his youngest son, Prince Harry, and his wife, Meghan Markle. It was allegedly right before they reunited at Highgrove estate this July. As RadarOnline reported, a source said the senior royals took "every precaution."
The person continued, "Before the Sussexes were allowed into the residence." The source then said that the staff members felt "determined that nothing capable of recording private conversations or compromising security would make its way inside."
The insider said to the news outlet that "It was undoubtedly an uncomfortable experience" for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The person continued that the security check "frisked" the Duke and ******* ss of Sussex "like any other commoner."

After reuniting with his father King Charles earlier this month for the first time in almost a year, Prince Harry is said to have shared a rare update on the monarch's health and opened up about his family with Meghan Markle following their recent trip to the UK.
The royal reportedly told guests at the Time100 Sports Gala in New York City on Thursday that his father, who shared his cancer diagnosis with the world in February 2024, is "doing great", as reported by Page Six. Charles previously shared a positive update last December, revealing that his treatment would be reduced at the start of the year.
Prior to his UK trip this month, Harry last met up with his estranged father in September 2025 when he was seen arriving at Charles' London residence, Clarence House. While Harry was back in the UK for the one-year countdown to the 2027 Invictus Games at the start of the month, ******* O! confirmed the royal met with his father Charles and Queen Camilla at Highgrove House on 10 July for a private reunion.
The Duke of Sussex was joined by his wife, Meghan Markle, and their two children, Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five. The Sussexes have since returned to their lives in Montecito, with an insider telling Page Six that Harry said they were "happy" to be home.
Meghan and the kids jetted to the UK alongside Harry this month, but kept a very low profile for their visit. Meghan had been scheduled to join Harry at a one-year-to-go Invictus event at Birmingham's NEC, but was unable to attend due to security concerns.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle finally had their reunion with King Charles amid a long-running royal family rift.
The couple, along with their kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, joined the monarch at his Highgrove residence along with Queen Camilla for a private and intimate meeting.
However, despite details of the meeting being kept under wraps, a royal expert has claimed that the reunion wasn't "entirely warm," especially for Meghan Markle.
Speaking to Page Six, royal expert Christopher Andersen claimed that Meghan didn't have the best time during her reunion with King Charles and Camilla.
The former actress and her husband's trip to the UK was plagued by surprising drama over security, alongside confusion over the monarch's invitation for the Sussexes to stay at a royal residence during their time in the country, an offer that was later revoked.

Piers Morgan has never been backwards in coming forwards in terms of how he feels about the Duke and **** ss of Sussex.
Having walked out of his six-year job on Good Morning Britain in 2021 following remarks he made about the former Meghan Markle - which gained a huge 41,000 complaints to television standards regulator Ofcom - he has not stood down on his forthright opinions about the controversial quasi-royal couple.
Now, he's hit out at the pair again, accusing them of hypocrisy for discussing the importance of privacy online and then choosing to post pictures of their children, Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five, on their social media - albeit with their faces obscured.
He told Woman, 'My old friends the Duke and **** ss of Sussex keep preaching to us about privacy and about the need to be careful online, and how dangerous it is for kids – and then what did they do?
