“Behind the scenes, there are murmurs Charles’ health is more fragile than reported,” a source told RadarOnline about the monarch’s cancer treatment. “William and Kate are acutely aware it could mean stepping up sooner than either imagined.”

According to the tabloid site, the couple seemed more somber and tense than usual. “William and Kate remain strong as a couple, but the strain is showing. Harry’s meeting with Charles has reopened old wounds. Kate would like to see some form of peace, but William is firm. He feels Harry must earn back trust before they can even think about it.”

After their summer break, William and Kate made a joint appearance at the Natural History Museum. Kate debuted with blonde hair and was immediately met with troll comments. “It was a difficult appearance for them. Given the weight they’re carrying, it’s no surprise if a little tension showed.”
Prince Harry reunited with his father on Sept. 10 for a private tea. Though the reunion was successful, a spokesman for the Duke of Sussex told People: “The duke has made it clear that the focus is his father. Beyond that, and on any other issues as it relates to his family, we won’t be commenting.”
Prince William has been clear about his stance against his brother, with multiple sources saying that he would have stopped it if he had known. “Kate means well and wants what’s best for him,” a source told RadarOnline. “But William believes this is a moment for caution, not making peace. That difference in outlook adds to the strain they’re under.”
Speaking about the two brothers, King Charles’ former personal butler, Grant Harrold, told The Post, “William is worried that with the stuff Harry has said, he could use it to his advantage again … like he’s already done. I think, sadly, they don’t trust him. It’s a shame, because Harry wants them to.”
