Prince Harry, Meghan Markle not ‘welcome’ to visit William, Kate Middleton during cancer recovery; here’s why

Prince William and his wife, Kate Middleton, are reluctant about Prince Harry’s potential visit, citing concerns about the potential “drama” likely to accompany it, The Daily Beast has reported while citing sources. Prince Harry, the Prince of Sussex, is expected to visit the UK in May to attend the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games.

Ever since Kate’s cancer diagnosis went public, there has been a lot of interest around it. However, William and Kate are looking to protect their privacy as the princess battles the disease and focuses on her recovery, the publication added.

Another source told the publication that William and Kate had come to terms with living without Harry and were “content to let sleeping dogs lie”.

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle, now settled in the US, were not informed about Kate Middleton’s cancer before the public announcement, which came directly from the Princess of Wales herself. However, Harry and Meghan were quick to issue a statement. It was subsequently reported that the Sussexes had reached out privately to William and Kate.

“We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace,” they stated

Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams earlier told The Sun that the news of Kate’s cancer had deliberately been withheld from the Sussexes as there were “trust issues”.

“They haven’t apparently spoken in many months. And, the reason, of course, is that for some four years, they’ve caused endless problems to the Royal Family, and so they can’t be trusted,” he said.
