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.
“Catherine and William have been very clear they want peace and quiet for them and the kids. A visit from Harry, with all the drama that would bring, would be the opposite of that,” said one of the sources.
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”.
“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.
