British Royal News says that no meeting has been announced between Prince William and his estranged younger brother Harry, 38, who lives in California with his wife Meghan, 41, and their two young children. The two couples have been at loggerheads particularly since Harry and Meghan – also known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex – sensationally quit the royal family in 2020. Here’s what you need to know.
Relations soured further after they gave a television interview to Oprah Winfrey last year and accused the royal family of racism, prompting a public denial from William. The death of William and Harry’s grandmother failed to bring about any visible meaningful reconciliation. The two couples made a frosty joint appearance at Windsor Castle to view floral tributes and both attended the queen’s state funeral.
Prince William Has No Plans To Meet With Prince Harry and Meghan Markle In America
Unusually though for William and Kate, who are used to their public appearances dominating headlines in the UK, they may have to deal with playing second fiddle to Harry and Meghan in the United States. The Sussexes are more popular in the United States and on December 6 are due to receive a major humanitarian award from the Robert Kennedy foundation in New York.
Comparisons between the two couples will inevitably fuel interest in the royal soap opera even before the expected release next month of a documentary about Harry and Meghan on Netflix. The royal family is also bracing for the release of Harry’s memoir Spare on January 10th in which he promises to lift the lid on his life in Britain’s most famous institution.
William and Kate’s US visit will be seen as a more conventional approach to royal outreach. Among the 15 Earthshot finalists are a Kenyan initiative for a cleaner-burning stove and a Dutch invention to stop maritime plastic pollution. A pair of French and Spanish entrepreneurs is also in the running with their biodegradable seaweed packaging.
