Prince William and Princess Kate appeared for the first time with King Charles and other members of the royal family on Wednesday after the big update of the Sussex visit.
Just as the royals were set to gather for the annual Royal Ascot event, news broke that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could be coming to Britain next month with their children.
Although the report has not been officially confirmed by the Sussexes, the possible plans have reportedly caused some excitement among the royals.
If the royals were feeling any of the stress during the Ascot event, they didn’t let it show as they appeared in high spirits at the horse racing event.
Also, in a surprise twist, William and Kate also personally wrote a message instead of letting Kensington Palace share a highlights update.
“A wonderful day at Royal Ascot,” it read, and was written off with “W & C”.
In the past, royal experts and palace sources have shared how bitter ties have become between Prince William and Prince Harry.
Although King Charles has shown leniency towards his younger son, Harry, William has even stopped mentioning Harry’s name.
Siblings who had once been inseparable have not spoken a single word to each other for more than three years. There are reports of King Charles aide taking on the mammoth task of bringing the two brothers together and having a “handshake” at least, just for the monarch’s sake.
The royals are known for their subliminal messages hidden away in the details, such as the timing of a statement, their ensembles among others.
Therefore, William and Kate’s latest message indicates that they have no intention of entertaining the Sussexes for a visit, even if they are bringing Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
