William and Kate have accepted the situation and have moved on. Their focus now lies in protecting their family from stressful situations. While William respects his father's desire to reconcile with his son, his priority is shielding his family, particularly during a vulnerable time for Catherine. Royal expert and author Tom Quinn, speaking to the Mirror, mentioned that Harry will likely make efforts to see his brother and Kate during his visit in May, given Kate's cancer diagnosis. However, any meeting is expected to be brief and carefully orchestrated to avoid uncomfortable conversations.
Quinn added that Harry is aware of the optics if he were to return to the UK and not meet with his brother or Kate. It would undoubtedly be an awkward situation. On May 8th, Harry will be alone during his visit to the United Kingdom, as neither Meghan nor other estranged family members plan to accompany him. Royal expert Charlotte Griffiths shared with broadcaster Patrick Christies of GBN that no senior members of the royal family will be present. The occasion holds significant sentimental value for Harry, as it is where his parents got married. The event is anticipated to be solemn and senior in nature.
Griffiths further commented on the loneliness Harry might experience during his visit, without the support of his friends, family, and senior members of the royal family. Without his wife by his side, the portrait of a solitary man is likely to be painted. Griffiths mentioned that Harry will be staying in a hotel rather than a royal residence and predicted that his visit would span only a couple of days, not a week. Megan, on the other hand, will be occupied with preparations for an upcoming tour to Nigeria and will not join him during the crucial moments of his visit.
Regarding Megan's potential presence in the UK, Griffiths expressed that it would be challenging for her due to the painful memories and difficult moments associated with past experiences in churches and other settings. However, acknowledging Megan's strength and resilience, the expert suggested that she could seize the opportunity to demonstrate her bravery and grace. Such a display would also serve the interests of her Netflix show.
