Kate Middleton is unlikely to meet her estranged brother-in-law, Prince Harry, during his visit to the UK unless King Charles III specifically requests it. The Princess of Wales has stated that she will only agree to the meeting if asked by the King. According to royal expert Ingrid Seward, King Charles III is unlikely to ask such a favor of his daughter-in-law at this time, as the timing must be right, and it is not suitable currently.
Prince Harry recently returned to the UK for the 10th anniversary of his Invictus Games. He has not seen Kate Middleton since she publicly disclosed her cancer diagnosis last month. Despite flying to the UK upon hearing about his father’s own cancer diagnosis in February, Harry’s representative has confirmed that there will not be a meeting between Harry and King Charles III due to the King’s busy schedule.
Since relocating to the US with Meghan Markle and their children, Harry has been estranged from his family, including his older brother Prince William. Seward mentioned that it is highly unlikely William will want to see Harry while he is in the UK. Despite this, it is possible that William may realize Harry will want to see Kate after her cancer diagnosis, as they were once close. Whether Kate is willing and able to try and mend the rift between the brothers or if she prefers to remain in the background remains to be seen.
During his time in the UK, Harry is reportedly staying in a hotel room as the royals did not offer him any of their numerous residences. This was the case during his previous trip to London in February, where he briefly met with his father following the cancer diagnosis. Despite this, he did not meet with William or Kate during his 24-hour visit. Following Harry’s visit, Kate Middleton revealed her health struggles in a pre-recorded video, discussing her cancer diagnosis that was discovered during a planned surgery in January.
In conclusion, Kate Middleton’s potential meeting with Prince Harry during his visit to the UK will depend on the request of King Charles III. Despite Harry’s return to the UK for the Invictus Games anniversary and his father’s illness, it is unlikely that a meeting between him and King Charles III will take place. The strained relationship between Harry and his family has kept him from meeting with Prince William or Kate since relocating, with uncertainty regarding their future interactions. This visit highlights the ongoing family tensions and challenges faced by the British royals.
