Kate Middleton recently announced her return to royal duties as she enters a “new phase of recovery,” but sources close to the royal family suggest she is feeling “anxious” about the potential unpredictability of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s behavior.
As reports circulate about Prince Harry’s possible return to the royal family, both Kate and Prince William are said to be preparing for another “possible blow-up” from the Sussexes. Heat MagazineWhile the Prince and Princess of Wales have been taking a break from the current drama surrounding Harry and Meghan, they are aware that with Kate’s return to public life, they won’t be able to avoid the topic for much longer.
While Kate remains focused on her own well-being and that of her family, she is determined not to let any tension with Harry and Meghan disrupt her return to the royal family. However, the situation has been complicated by the growing closeness between the Sussexes and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.
Royal expert Tom Quinn said The mirror, “For William and Kate, an alliance between Harry and Meghan and Beatrice and Eugenie is a huge concern.” Quinn added that Beatrice and Eugenie may feel more aligned with Harry and Meghan, seeing themselves as “virtual pariahs” within the royal family.
This possible alliance between the Sussexes and the York sisters is reportedly a major concern for William and Kate. As Quinn explained“They feel that Beatrice and Eugenie feel that they have much more in common with Harry and Meghan than with any other part of the family.”
To make matters worse, Kate has been undergoing cancer treatment, which has temporarily limited her public appearances. “The situation is made worse by the fact that the royal’s main asset, Kate herself, is virtually out of action as she continues her treatment,” Quinn noted.
As Kate returns to her royal duties, she is set to address not only her personal recovery but also the growing complexities within the royal family.
