Prince William’s meeting with US President-elect Donald Trump reportedly left Prince Harry and Meghan Markle feeling “hurt” and “betrayed”, but insiders claim the Prince of Wales is unfazed by their reaction. According Nearest magazineThe Duke and Duchess of Sussex were shocked to learn that William met Trump in Paris without informing them first, particularly given Trump’s past criticism of the couple.
An internal closure to the royal family revealed: “The whole situation has unleashed a storm of emotions for Harry and Meghan. “They’re hurt, they’re angry and they’re really shocked.” Despite his reaction, Prince William is said to be not at all concerned about the Sussexes’ feelings and views the meeting as part of his royal duties.
“William doesn’t care at all” “The source said bluntly. “He is very clear that he was simply doing his duty, being professional, and he finds it quite telling that Harry and Meghan would manage to achieve it for them.”
The source added that William is firm in his stance and has no intention of apologizing to Harry or Meghan. “He won’t apologize for doing his job, and he certainly won’t worry about how what he does to protect his country will be perceived by them,” the source said. “They need to grow now!”
The reported friction comes amid ongoing tensions between the siblings, which have been widely publicized since Harry and Meghan’s departure from royal duties in 2020. While the Sussexes have criticized their treatment within the royal family, William has remained steadfast in prioritizing his responsibilities as the future king.
This latest disagreement highlights the deepening divide between the brothers, with William’s no-nonsense attitude towards his duties contrasting sharply with Harry and Meghan’s reaction to their meeting with Trump.
For William, the meeting with the president-elect of the United States was simply part of his professional role as Prince of Wales. However, for Harry and Meghan, the event reportedly triggered unresolved emotions, further fueling the rift between the once-close siblings.
As the royal family continues to face these challenges, insiders suggest William’s focus remains on his responsibilities, regardless of how the Sussexes interpret his actions.
