Prince William and Kate Middleton’s life are gradually returning to normal. The Princess of Wales declared a while ago that she had completed her ᴄᴀɴᴄᴇʀ ᴛʀᴇᴀᴛᴍᴇɴᴛ, but she has yet to fully recuperate. Despite this, it appears that the royal couple isn’t letting anything stop them, with rumors indicating that they’re now looking to expand into the US “market.”
According to reports, William and Kate’s initial steps toward possible royal work in the United States have left Meghan Markle dissatisfied. It’s worth noting that the relationship between Prince Harry, Meghan, and the Royal Family isn’t getting better, and something William did just days ago is thought to have exacerbated matters.
The Prince of Wales came to RAF Northolt to support London Air Ambulance’s ‘Up Against Time’ campaign. However, while there, he met someone who had previously been quite close to Harry and Meghan. Rumors suggest that the feud over the ‘Megxit’ is getting worse.
Prince William and Kate Middleton are no longer particularly close to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Rather, the relationship is said to be at an all-time low as a result of the Sussexes’ frequent loud attacks in recent years.
Prince Harry & Meghan Markle – royal feud
Harry has visited the UK several times in the last year, but apart from a covert visit to his father following Charles’ ᴄᴀɴᴄᴇʀ diagnosis, the Duke has not interacted with his family. Furthermore, it has been stated that Harry has not spoken to his brother, Prince William, in years, and Meghan’s only contact with Kate has been brief phone calls since the latter underwent abdominal sᴜʀɢᴇʀʏ in January and was later diagnosed with ɪʟʟɴᴇss herself.
Several reports imply that Harry is now seeking a truce and may even miss his previous life in the United Kingdom. It remains to be seen whether this marks the beginning of the end of William’s feud with his family, but royal analysts say he is not interested in making peace.
“I still think things are too sensitive for a meaningful reconciliation with William, but the fact that he and Catherine authorised the greeting to be posted is definitely an unexpected turn of events,” royal expert Jennie Bond told OK!, referring to the Prince and Princess of Wales’ happy birthday post to Harry, per the Mirror.
“I don’t think we should hold our breath for the step to really signal the start of a reconciliation, but it was an unexpected turn of events.”
She added: “William has so much on his plate at the moment that I don’t think he has room in his heart or head to deal with all that has gone on with Harry. While the brothers may never be close again, or even live on the same continent, it doesn’t mean that the future has to be full of bitterness and bad blood. Catherine is right. Family should always be paramount.”
Meghan Markle’s two demands to reunite with the royal family
When it comes to reconciling with the royals, Meghan isn’t the driving force behind any possible talks.
According to royal analyst Tom Quinn, Meghan has two requests if the problem is to be settled quietly, and she would only back down if “she feels that the Royal Family have been sufficiently nice to her, and grovelingly apologized for the past”.
Of course, the idea that the royals will meet those demands is extremely implausible.
Quinn told the Mirror that the Prince and Princess of Wales are eager to bury the hatchet with Harry and Meghan, but Meghan would not consider a quiet sit-down until her demands have been met.
“Harry would like a reconciliation, but supports his wife completely and until she feels that the Royal family have been sufficiently nice to her – and grovelingly apologized for the past – it’s not going to happen,” Quinn said, adding that Meghan may be holding Harry back from any peace talks.
The Duchess’ “sense of grievance” is “preventing anything really meaningful from happening,” he added. Meghan and Harry have made it clear that they would not bring their children to the UK owing to a perceived lack of safety, complicating any potential reunion even more.
“‘We don’t need your permission to be working royals’”
Not only that, but Harry and Meghan are alleged to have infuriated certain British royals when they visited Nigeria earlier this year.
The couple was given a “royal welcome,” and according to stories, King Charles and the other senior royals believed that the couple could not be controlled and, more crucially, should be cut off from the monarchy entirely.
“For Charles and William, it’s as if Meghan and Harry are saying, ‘We don’t need your permission to be working royals – we will do it on our own terms whenever and wherever we like,’” Tom Quinn told the Mirror.
In August, Harry and Meghan took another excursion, this time to Colombia, which did not make the royals happy. However, perhaps William and Middleton have discovered the Sussexes’ Achilles heel.
It’s widely assumed that Harry and Meghan desire to live the famous lifestyle in Hollywood. According to rumors, Hollywood stars want nothing to do with them, and in recent years, they have even lost pals who were formerly close to them.
David and Victoria Beckham are among them. When Meghan opted to relocate to the United Kingdom after her and Harry’s relationship became serious, Victoria reportedly provided Meghan with all of the necessary access to London hairdressers and stylists.

However, the happy foursome did not last long. Victoria’s offer to help the then-Suits actress made the press, and Meghan assumed Victoria was the one who leaked it. That is supposed to have resulted in a very unpleasant phone call between Prince Harry and David Beckham, marking the start of their friendship’s demise.

That is supposed to have resulted in a very unpleasant phone call between Prince Harry and David Beckham, marking the start of their friendship’s demise.
“Harry was very polite, but obviously it was a pretty awkward exchange and David was mortified. Inexplicably, [Meghan] feared Victoria was behind it – I mean, the idea that Victoria Beckham would be personally ringing journalists to give them a scoop is ridiculous – and spoke to Harry about it,” a source told The Sun.
“Harry is very protective of Meghan, and decided to deal with the matter head-on, by directly contacting his good pal, David. He quickly put Harry right, and the two men agreed to move on – but it certainly made things awkward for a while.”
David and Victoria Beckham were guests at Harry and Meghan’s 2018 wedding. The famous couple, however, was not invited to the wedding dinner, which startled the Beckhams.
Shortly after, while Harry and Meghan were touring Australia, the Duke requested David to become an Invictus Games ambassador, and the former soccer player also went to Australia.
However, while there, Prince Harry reportedly refused to see David in Sydney, claiming that he wished to keep his buddies at arm’s length.
David Beckham & Victoria Beckham ended their friendship with the Sussexes
What’s the reason? Meghan Markle, who remained concerned that Victoria had leaked information about her to the public.
“She wanted no competition in the media from David. It seemed she was not prepared to tolerate anything flattering regarding the Beckhams and the Games to appear in the media,” royal biographer Tom Bower wrote in his book Revenge.
The Sussexes and Beckhams’ friendship deteriorated further, and when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle relocated to the United States, things became even worse. With Harry lashing out at family members in both interviews and his book, Spare, the gulf between him and David expanded by the day—
David and Victoria Beckham have consistently backed the Royal Family. According to royal researcher Richard Eden, that is why they ended their friendship with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
“David had always been an ardent royalist who would stand up for the Queen’s Speech every Christmas, dressed in his Sunday best. Years later, he queued for 12 hours to view the Queen’s coffin when her body was lying in state,” Eden wrote in the Daily Mail.
“So it is, perhaps, no surprise that the Sussexes’ attacks on the Royal Family failed to impress the Beckhams.”
Richard Eden added: “Both David and Victoria put great importance on family and would never, ever turn on their relations the way that Harry and Meghan did,’ one of their associates tells me. The truth is that Victoria never really liked Meghan much. She was friendly and welcoming to her but is not bothered about staying in touch.”
Meghan Markle ‘annoyed’ over David Beckham’s meeting with Prince William
So, what links David and Victoria Beckham to Prince Harry’s feud with his brother? William recently spent time with David, when the two met at RAF Northolt to celebrate London Air Ambulance’s Up Against Time campaign.
Harry had just attended the WellChild Awards in the UK, but Meghan is upset over the David Beckham scenario and the fact that he spent time with Prince William, according to royal analyst Kinsey Schofield.
“Yes, I do think that this is something that will annoy Meghan Markle,” Schofield said, per the Mirror.
“After two weeks of bad press since Prince Harry’s been gone. I just think that she’s probably livid right now, based on the reaction that she’s getting from all of these stories. She’s had to deal with that while Prince Harry’s been out of town.”
The royal expert added: “That’s gotta be incredibly hard for her. And then to see this kind of victory moment from Prince William. A victory moment that she would tell you it should have been Harry’s moment after the WellChild awards, that would be upsetting to her.”
