Odd vibes are emanating from the Prince and Princess of Wales. Given their public appearances last week, I think they’re trying to present themselves as completely done with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, while also noticeably notching up their workload because of the Sussex Return. I don’t even think that Prince William and Kate should be or could be doing anything differently, you know? They’re not happy that the Sussex family is back, but they also have some kind of plan in place. That plan? Work more, schedule their events around Harry’s events to force royal reporters to “choose,” continue the embiggening and keenery. That’s all boilerplate. What makes me sick is that Team Wales continues to push this narrative that the Sussexes caused so much “stress” for Kate that it affected her health, and that’s why the 2024 saga of Kate Missington happened. It’s one of the most manipulative narratives I’ve ever seen from these two.
Prince William wasn’t very confident that brother Prince Harry and sister-in-law Meghan Markle’s return to the United Kingdom wouldn’t reopen old wounds.
“There was cautious optimism that perhaps they would arrive in silent dignity and not stir up drama, but William was much less optimistic than the king and was proven right because right now he’s having an ‘I told you so’ moment,” a source exclusively tells Us.
“William and Kate don’t have to do anything and say anything. History has proven time and again Meghan and Harry will dig their own grave,” continues the source. “And this takes them further away from reconciliation.”
“William has not spoken to Harry,” the insider adds. “William also hasn’t gotten over all the stress that Harry and Meghan caused leading up to Kate’s cancer diagnosis. She finally reached remission, only for them to come back to the U.K. and create more stress for everyone.”
The imagery of “Meghan and Harry will dig their own grave” is pretty ugly, which means this is definitely coming from Peggy’s camp. “She finally reached remission, only for them to come back to the U.K. and create more stress for everyone.” I don’t get it – are we saying that Harry and Meghan’s mere presence in the same country has a devastating (if not debilitating) effect on Kate’s health? But then how did the Sussexes destroy Kate’s health in 2023-24? The Sussexes’ mere existence in California was so brutal on Kate! What are we doing here?

The “dig their own grave” comment is hideous. I hope it was sent immediately to RAVEC for threat assessment
That imagery is not a coincidence. And neither are a lot of the comments blaming Harry and Meghan for causing harm to not just Kate but to themselves by moving back to the uk.
80% of sm engagement is bots. These are undoubtedly kp bots.
The keens caused the stress. So pathetic that they try to play victims. They were OK with going on church walks with andrew
No it’s putting stain on their marriage rather than health. William looks completely checked out and I don’t think he has the energy to fight like in 2018 saga. From kp briefing it’s clear that William and kate is not united to smear sussex they used to be. That’s why they didn’t do any stunt so far by allowing the press to photograph them dropping louis without any issue. I don’t still have this eerie feeling about this whole thing.
Harry maybe be delusional but meghan is not . Meghan would have not come back without any solid guarantee. So far it’s not working royal or security. Maybe it’s something else and they will slowly leakage to the press etc.
Because it’s not working royal or security I don’t why chuck was very KEEN ON harry back to fold ? Also why he let go of that Wasp too?
Very interesting points! It was noticeable how bullying H&M united the Waleses for a short period of time, and it remains to be seen if it happens this time. As for H and M’s reasons, if H manages to keep Invictus intact through the year, get royal protection back, prove that the British people actually love them and march back to Montecito victorious, I’d say it was worth it.
He’s so jealous of Harry (in general) and so bitter about his marrying Meghan that he’ll just heap the blame for anything and everything on them. It’s irrational and I would hope that someone would try and get him into therapy.
Yeah, this is definitely coming from William. Not just the imagery, but the idea of forcing royal reporters to “choose” (and clearly assuming that newspaper coverage is apportioned based on rank and not, um, what sells). This man STILL doesn’t get it. He can have all the invisible contracts with the press he wants – if he schedules events to compete with Harry, he’s going to lose. Meghan can knock him off the front page with an Instagram reel. It’s delusional.
As to these “concerns” about Kate’s health, and how her cancer might just come back now that the Sussexes are on the same land mass, I think it’s more that William thought he was going to be able to do more events solo and get people used to not seeing Kate. They spent years setting up that she was not going to be “returning” to”work” (airquotes mine) maybe ever. Because cancer. Kate was going to hole up in Forest Lodge and show up sporadically, but William was probably looking forward to being free of her.
But then the Sussexes return and throw it all into disarray – now Kate has to be dragged out for every event, William will have to grit his teeth and give the press as many festive glances as he can stomach if he wants to compete.
William is despicable and disgusting.
Kate’s Kancer Kard being pulled out again, just because… when Mumblina herself mentioned pre-cancerous cells.
That she never was at Royal Marsden was proven by her remarks when she didn’t know about the garden created by survivors (?) and had never seen the arch at the entrance.
All the Middletonedeafs said that Kate wasn’t sick in the traditional sense, and drunk uncle domestic abuser Gary had no idea about anything while he was on DWTS.
Can we be honest and admit that Will and Kate are the drama here and have been for a long time?
But just last week, weren’t Meghan and Harry being called the drama? Funny that. One family is briefing about trying to get security while the other family is briefing about how they will dig their own graves for….trying to get security for their kids. And oh yeah, check notes, causing cancerous cells to be present.
Wonder if this is why Willy hired Sunny Bullets earlier this year–he knew the Sussexes were considering returning and wanted a plan. Because yeah, this is all Willy stirring up the drama.
And eff them (and maybe Sunny Bullets) for the “Harry and Meghan caused Kate’s cancer” insinuation.
Easier to blame Meghan for existing than blame William for his temper tantrums. If Kate can’t cope with life it is time for her to retire.
1000x this about Kate. I’m so disgusted by this fragile 44 yo woman narrative. 🙄
Classic case of white woman tears. She and her terror husband should be deeply ashamed of how they live. They are the depravity that the monarchy creates. Spoiled, self-indulgent, greedy brats.
Look, I’m a white woman and I would never be so obnoxious and entitled as to suggest that someone else’s presence caused my cancer. Or my “pre cancer.” Stress can contribute to illness but Kate is the one stressing herself out here. I hate the way she sends the press out to fight her trivial battles.
Her husband effected/is effecting her (mental) health.
We’ll find out about that/the incidences in due time.
Since when is Us Weekly a reliable source? I don’t believe this is inside information at all. And if it is, it would be pretty damaging PR for the RF, because the accusation that Harry and Meghan were responsible for the stress in the period leading up to Kate’s cancer diagnosis goes way too far.
And a dignified silence after the King sent his own — and very easy to misinterpret — letter? Haha. Uganda made sure a response from the Sussex camp was entirely appropriate.
While he continues to create all the hurdles for them .
What a little man !
This is to prepare us for when kitty ans willy suddenly can’t pretend to keep up their so call busy schedule anymore because Kate needs rest so she doesn’t have a relapse and Willy needs to be there to hold her hand because he is such a supportive husband. Poor fragile little English rose . Won’t someone feel sorry for the fact that she has to work and not just lie in her bed in . Her tiara all day style stalking Meghan . Not like they actually work much . Kitty worked two days last week and it’s now Wednesday and she hasn’t done f all ever since. These two annoy the f out of me
William and Kate helped drive Meghan to suicide ideation. GTFOH with this cancer and stress talk. If she and William had left them alone they wouldn’t be trying to outwork Harry at the moment.
