Princess Catherine pushes for reconciliation with Harry during royal talks
King Charles has held private talks at Balmoral with Prince William,
Catherine, and senior advisers ahead of Harry’s return to the UK. The Duke of
Sussex is expected in London on September 8 for the WellChild Awards, sparking
speculation of a possible reunion with his father.
According to reports, what appeared to be a family holiday in Scotland was
used by the King to discuss weighty issues, particularly Harry’s role within
the royal fold. One insider said: “On the surface, it looks like a normal
family holiday, but in reality, there are huge decisions being made that could
change the family forever.”
The meeting was kept small, involving only the King, Queen, William,
Catherine, and a few trusted advisers. William made it clear he believes the
monarchy must slim down and stay focused on a smaller group of working royals.
That stance makes it highly unlikely that Harry and Meghan would ever return
as active members of the Firm. Reports suggest William has even raised the
possibility of removing their remaining royal privileges, including HRH status
and their children’s titles.
Catherine, however, is said to be conflicted. While she supports her husband’s
vision for the monarchy, she is wary of shutting the door on reconciliation
with Harry altogether. Known for her role as a peacemaker, she worries that
cutting ties completely could make future healing impossible.
“She doesn’t want William’s decisions to burn bridges with Harry forever,” a
source explained. “If the choice is to cut Harry out entirely, she knows
there’s no coming back from that.”
