ROYAL NEWS: Prince William and Kate’s Unexpected Gesture Toward Harry and Meghan After a Highly Emotional Night. Full details in post…
According to a biography of King Charles, in the days after the late Queen’s death, the Prince and Princess of Wales were forced to come together for an emotional night at Buckingham Palace where William and Kate offered the estranged Sussexes a ‘small gesture’
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s icy royal rift with the Prince and Princess of Wales shows no signs of thawing any time soon.
The Sussexes have taken aim at William and Kate several times since they dramatically quit as working royals, with relations between the two couples said to be almost non-existent. But despite their feud, a royal book has claimed the Waleses offered Harry and Meghan a ‘small gesture’ of an olive branch after an emotional night at Buckingham Palace. It reportedly came in the days after the death of the late Queen when all members of the Royal Family converged on the palace after the former monarch’s coffin was taken there before being processed to Westminster Hall the following day for the lying in state.
The Firm awaited the arrival of the coffin before an informal supper, throwing together the two warring couples. However according to the new biography Charles II. New King. New Court. The Inside Story by author Robert Hardman, William and Kate offered a small olive branch, which would have gained the approval of Elizabeth II.
He explains: “Inside the palace, all members of the Royal Family were there to welcome the Queen back to royal headquarters for the last time, followed by an informal supper. Afterwards, the Prince and Princess of Wales suggested that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex should attach their car to their police escort for the journey back to Windsor since they were all going the same way. It was only a small gesture (they would not be sharing a car) and nowhere near any sort of reconciliation. However, the late Queen would have approved.”
The death of the late Queen came just months before Harry and Meghan released their controversial Netflix docuseries where they dropped a series of bombshells about life in the Firm. Both William and King Charles came under fire in the series, with William accused of “screaming and shouting” and King Charles of ‘lying’ at a high-profile summit.
