In the hope of a different kind of monarchy in the years to come, Prince William and Kate Middleton are reportedly seeking changes that will shape their relationship with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The Prince and Princess of Wales are thus moving toward a turning point within the royal family. And people close to them claim the couple has already started preparing for what comes next.
Prince William is ‘not up for’ reunion with Prince Harry going into 2026, per source
A source exclusively spoke to RadarOnline, claiming that Kate Middleton told Prince William she would support him through the decisions he has to make in the monarchy, even if it includes tough decisions about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The insider said the two have come closer, explaining, “Kate fully understands the pressure William is under, particularly with major changes on the horizon.”
According to the source, she told William, “I’m standing beside you through every choice, every shift and every test that comes with it.” Although Middleton has tried to help the brothers reconnect, another source suggested she has stepped back. The insider claimed, “William just is not up for it, and she has now told him she will stop pressing him and follow his lead.” Hence, Harry may want a reunion, but the source said nothing has changed on William’s end.
This divide will reportedly shape the holidays, with the Sandringham Christmas gathering being smaller this year, and Harry and Markle off the guest list. Moreover, William and Middleton reportedly plan to spend only a short time at the main event before taking their children back to Anmer Hall, with an insider saying the couple wants a celebration that feels “simple and grounded.”
Sources claimed that the real change will come in 2026. The Waleses are putting together a new inner circle, with an insider telling RadarOnline, “William and Kate see 2026 as a turning point that could reshape the monarchy more than any period in recent memory.” Another added that “clear lines will be drawn when it comes to Harry and Meghan,” especially if there are disputes about titles.
