Prince William ‘has no desire’ to see Harry while both in UK: insider
About a year has gone by without the late Queen Elizabeth helming the royal family and the rest of the United Kingdom.
While Prince William and Kate Middleton will be heading public tributes to the monarch in the UK, Prince Harry will also be in England to attend the WellChild Awards ceremony on Sept. 7.
However, a reunion between the estranged brothers is highly unlikely, as the couple “have no desire” to see the Duke of Sussex, 38, according “To Di For Daily” podcast host Kinsey Schofield.
“There is a severe lack of trust, and they don’t want the conversation repeated to anyone,” she recently told Fox News.
“I suspect that Prince William is dreading Prince Harry’s arrival,” she went on. “Especially when William and [Kate] are expected to publicly acknowledge the anniversary of the late queen’s passing.”
Schofield added that Harry’s appearance at the charity event will be a “distraction” to create “conflicting headlines” that Buckingham Palace will “not appreciate.”
“He’s damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t,” she said. “It’s a tough spot to be in, but Harry seems to be prioritizing philanthropy right now. I’m not surprised by his eagerness to attend.”
Schofield then predicted that Harry will say a tribute to his grandmother — who died on Sept. 8 at the age of 96 — in his speech at the WellChild Awards.
Shortly after the bash, he will jet off to Düsseldorf, Germany, for the Invictus Games and his wife Meghan Markle is set to meet him there.
Other members of the royal family such as King Charles, Prince Andrew, Prince Edward and Queen Camilla will be commemorating the queen’s death at Balmoral Castle in Scotland.
Harry is not expected to join them at the fam’s summer residence, the radio show emcee explained.
Royal expert Hilary Fordwich also gave her take to Fox News, revealing that the Invictus Games founder’s stopover in England will be “brief.”
“Prince Harry won’t be meeting with either his father or brother,” she said. “The estrangement between Harry and William looks most unlikely to be repaired anytime soon. The senior royals are letting geographic distance in the UK serve as a convenient buffer.”
On Sept. 8, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will be visiting St David’s Cathedral in South Wales to host a memorial for the late monarch.
An insider told to the Mirror last month that William will “pay homage to the life and legacy of Elizabeth II, but any message will strongly look to the future.”
“It will be an emotional day for all the Royal Family, as well as many people across Britain, recognizing this date. But of course, for others it will be just another day and life goes on,” the source continued.
