Sources say the Prince of Wales is determined to stop any further damage and is quietly preparing for future fallout
Prince William is said to be increasingly concerned about the impact Meghan Markle and Harry could have on the Royal Family and is determined to prevent any more harm.
According to insiders speaking to Heat World, this tension comes as King Charles is reported to have offered an olive branch by allowing Harry and Meghan to stay at Balmoral Castle during a planned visit to Britain in July. The couple are expected to travel with their children, Archie and Lilibet, for an Invictus Games-related event.
Despite the apparent gesture of reconciliation, sources claim William is focused on limiting any further fallout. One confidant said the situation has been deeply frustrating for him, as he feels his authority has been weakened while he is still being urged to keep relations civil.
The source added that William believes things will be handled differently when he eventually takes charge. He is said to have hired a new crisis PR team to prepare for any future controversies involving Harry and Meghan.
Palace insiders also claim the Prince of Wales sees the couple as “a real threat” to the institution, regardless of how his father views them. They say he is taking steps to protect both himself and the long-term stability of the monarchy.
Although William is reportedly uncomfortable about pushing back against King Charles, he feels he has little choice. He is said to be trying to handle the situation carefully, knowing that the last thing he wants is an open clash with his father.
