Duchess stays quiet as peace talks continue with King Charles
Catherine has made her feelings about Harry clear without saying a word. During his recent four-day visit to the UK, the Duke of Sussex met with King Charles at Clarence House in what many saw as an important step toward mending family ties.
Harry turned 41 on September 15, a day warmly marked by his wife, Meghan Markle, and celebrated by his supporters worldwide. But the occasion passed without any public acknowledgement from Buckingham Palace or from the Prince and Princess of Wales.
Royal commentator Duncan Larcombe told Hello! Magazine that the silence spoke volumes. “They didn’t post anything on his birthday, which the royals normally would do. So Kate’s message was loud and clear: the ball’s not in our court, Harry – it’s in yours.”
He explained that while the future King and Queen follow strict royal protocol, their decision to say nothing carried weight. “They have kept silent throughout all of this and rolled with the punches, so they’re forced into subtle, secret messaging – which is what this seems to be. They’re not prepared to call Harry’s bluff by sending him joyful birthday wishes, so they remain silent and avoid him at all costs.”
As talks between Harry and Charles spark speculation of a possible reconciliation, the bigger question remains: will other senior royals be willing to welcome Harry back into the fold?
