There is very little: in less than a month the Prince Harry And Meghan Markle they will return to London. They confirmed this themselves a few days ago, a few minutes after Buckingham Palace made it known that will not be allowed on the balcony next to the Queen after the Trooping the Color of 2 June.
It is not the first time that the Sussexes have set foot together in the UK: in April, on the road to the Invictus Games taking place in Holland, they had done stop in Windsor to wish the Queen Easter greetings. But it will be the first time in two years that they will see the Dukes of Cambridge again. And the meeting promises sparks.
The last photo in which the two couples appear together dates back to March 2020, at Commonwealth Day Servicelast commitment from working royals of the Sussexes, and already on that occasion the four did they looked embarrassed and with difficulty they spoke. Then Harry and Meghan left London and (especially) the Royal Family, and the two brothers and two sisters-in-law they never met again.
After all, the relationships between the Fab Four they are tense. When last year William and Harry met again, before funeral of Prince Philip and then toinauguration of the statue of Lady Diana at Kensington Palace, even if in favor of cameras they were calm and close-knit, in private they pulled out all the old rusts. The real expert Robert Laceyauthor of Battle of Brothersreports that immediately after the grandfather’s funeral the two brothers even have “Quarreled fiercely” in Windsor Castle: “They were more angry than ever,” he wrote. “They yelled at each other, face to face, real words sad and painful“.
Stone of scandal apparently she was, as usual, Harry’s wife, whose arrival in the family – again according to Lacey – immediately dug between the two brothers a furrow that over time has become insurmountable. From the beginning of the relationship, William had advised Harry to “think carefully” before getting married the American actress who seemed “hostile to the real system” (suspect he shared his wife Kate Middleton and which were soon confirmed). Then, after the 2018 wedding, it was a precipitate of events, and relationships have torn apart.
Not only between brothers, even between sisters-in-law. The former actress did not even have the accuracy – or cunning – to befriend Kate Middleton, who could also have been a valid ally bourgeois at court: “The Duchess of Sussex could not digest the fact that the future queen was Kate” says the British journalist Tom Quinnand the more Meghan lived in London, the less she could bear the idea of being “The eternal second”.
The interview (to the poison) released in the very popular living room of Oprah WinfreyL’absence of Harry at the memorial for Prince Philip with the whole question of security, the prince’s last interview on American television Nbcas well as various statements (or deafening silences) scattered here over the past two years have only made things worse. But the first weekend of June, with their return to London, is upon us. And will be the showdown.
