New reports reignite tensions within the royal family, with hopes of a summer reunion between the Sussexes and Wales quietly at a standstill.
According to RadarOnlineCatherine, Princess of Wales, has now “totally killed” any expectations of a meeting involving William, Harry and Meghan Markle.
After apparently becoming frustrated with the recent public behavior and comments made during the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s overseas appearances.
Sources cited in the report say Catherine had long tried to serve as a discreet bridge between the brothers, believing a path to reconciliation was still possible.
An insider claimed that repeated foreign tours, designed in a “royal” manner, as well as constant criticism of the institution, had gradually eroded goodwill.
The source claimed Kate felt the Sussexes were blurring the line between royal duty and celebrity branding while benefiting from their former roles.
For the future queen, who would take her royal responsibilities very seriously, this change would have become increasingly difficult to accept.
The latest claims come amid separate reports that King Charles has explored the idea of a family reunion at Sandringham, in the hope that his grandchildren Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet could be part of a wider moment of reconciliation.
However, these plans would face resistance, particularly from Prince William, despite the king’s stated desire to mend family ties.
Tensions were also reportedly heightened following Prince Harry’s comments during a BBC interview in 2025, in which he discussed his father’s health and suggested he was uncertain about how much time King Charles had left.
While Harry made the remarks as part of his desire for reconciliation, some insiders say the tone was received very differently within the family.
Royal author Christopher Andersen also claimed that Catherine found the comments particularly upsetting, especially given her own experience with cancer.
According to the account, what was meant to be open-mindedness on Harry’s part was interpreted by some as deeply insensitive.
As for Prince William, reports suggest his response was much firmer.
One source described him as “apoplectic with rage” over the ongoing fallout, particularly in the wake of Harry’s memoir. Spare.
