Prince William and Kate Middleton allegedly plan to continue to ignore Prince Harry and Meghan Markle following the latter couple\u2019s return to the UK.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIt makes no difference if Harry and Meghan are in Oxfordshire, California or Timbuktu,\u201d William and Middleton\u2019s friend recently told the Daily Mail<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The pal added, \u201cWilliam and Catherine will continue their lives of public service. They intend to lead by example.\u201d<\/p>\n

Page Six has reached out to Kensington Palace and Harry and Markle\u2019s reps for comment.<\/p>\n

The Sussexes moved back to England last week with their kids Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, for an \u201cextended period\u201d \u2014 six years after they quit their royal duties. <\/p>\n

The family reportedly flew privately from California and landed at Birmingham Airport around lunchtime on Aug. 26. <\/p>\n

The friend also noted that \u201cit makes no difference\u201d where Markle and Harry (seen above with William and Middleton) are living. Zak Hussein \/ BACKGRID<\/p>\n

Page Six heard that Harry, 41, and Markle, 45,\u00a0moved back overseas to be closer to King Charles III<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 who is\u00a0battling cancer<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 and ensure their children build relationships with family.<\/p>\n

Charles, 77, learned of his younger son and daughter-in-law\u2019s decision<\/a> days before the bombshell news broke, Page Six confirmed.<\/p>\n

We also reported that the Sussexes will \u201ccontinue with their business enterprises\u201d<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0live in a \u201cnon-royal residence,\u201d<\/a> as they search for a house potentially in the Cotswolds<\/a>, which is roughly two hours away from Willian and Middleton\u2019s Windsor home.<\/p>\n

Additionally, we confirmed Harry and Markle\u2019s children are already enrolled in a $35K-a-year prep school<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Prince and Princess of Wales, meanwhile, have not publicly commented on Harry and Markle\u2019s shocking UK return \u2014 which is expected to cause problems for the future king.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a huge slap in the face for William, and it does also create serious risks for the monarchy,\u201d royal reporter Tom Sykes previously told Page Six.<\/p>\n

Sykes also said that, given William, 44, and Harry\u2019s longstanding feud<\/a>, the move will create a \u201chuge succession\u201d of additional \u201cchallenges\u201d for the elder brother.<\/p>\n

Another royal insider, Kinsey Schofield, told Page Six that William\u2019s circle believes \u201cmoney and inheritance are part of the calculation\u201d<\/a>\u00a0for Harry and Markle\u2019s move.<\/p>\n

Schofield said William \u201cwill be much less accommodating\u201d as king than Charles, so Harry is moving \u201cas an attempt to get a foot back in the door before\u201d his brother takes the throne.<\/p>\n

The Sussexes and the Waleses have been estranged since Harry famously dragged his family during his bombshell interviews with Oprah Winfrey and Netflix, as well as in his 2023 memoir,\u00a0\u201cSpare.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

Additionally, Markle\u00a0accused royal family members of racism<\/a>\u00a0when the couple sat down with Winfrey in 2021.<\/p>\n

Harry and Markle didn\u2019t see William and Middleton, 44, when they visited the UK over the summer<\/a> and reunited with Charles and Queen Camilla<\/a> at Highgrove House.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prince William and Kate Middleton allegedly plan to continue to ignore Prince Harry and Meghan Markle following the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1184398,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[7708],"tags":[14932,4082,533,1281,447,532,5105,7710,519,448,15],"class_list":["post-1184397","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-royals","tag-celebrity-families","tag-celebrity-news","tag-kate-middleton","tag-meghan-markle","tag-prince-harry","tag-prince-william","tag-royal","tag-royal-families","tag-royal-family","tag-royals","tag-united-kingdom"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1184397","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1184397"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1184397\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1184398"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1184397"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1184397"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1184397"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
