Monday, Sept. 8, marked the third anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II\u2019s death<\/a>, and the press knew William was scheduled to visit the Women\u2019s Institute in Sunningdale, Berkshire. What the media didn\u2019t expect was the Princess of Wales showing up along with him \u2014 a savvy PR moment.<\/p>\n Prince Harry<\/p>\n It\u2019s no secret that Kate is the main draw in the \u201cslimmed-down\u201d royal family under King Charles III\u2019s reign. \u201cShe has nailed being royal and yet still relatable. She is the shining star of a modern monarchy<\/a>, and it\u2019s no surprise that King Charles refers to her as his \u2018beloved daughter-in-law,\u2019\u201d royal expert Jennie Bond told OK! magazine<\/a> in January 2024.<\/p>\n Kate\u2019s surprise engagement with her husband subtly pulls some of the headlines away from Harry while he\u2019s in the U.K. The dynamic duo would never admit that was their intention, but it does send a message to royal fans who are paying attention: the feud is not over.<\/a><\/p>\n William reportedly isn\u2019t thrilled that Charles might meet with his youngest son during the trip as a step toward reconciliation. The future king allegedly sees his father as \u201cweak<\/a>\u201d for even considering letting Harry back into the family fold.<\/p>\n \u201cWilliam always said, \u2018Just cut Andrew off completely. It\u2019s not appropriate to have an alleged sex offender breaking bread with the royal family.\u2019 Charles was so desperate to be seen as embodying the spirit of Christian forgiveness that he let Andrew back in,\u201d a source told the Daily Beast<\/a> recently. \u201cWilliam was right about Andrew, and he is right about Harry. Charles is weak. William is anything but weak.\u201d<\/p>\n Charles might have forgiveness in his heart, but the Prince of Wales stubbornly does not. William is done with Harry. When he becomes King, everybody thinks the divide will become even wider,\u201d a royal source told Us Weekly<\/a> in August.<\/p>\n Instead, William and Kate will quietly go about their business with a jam-packed schedule this week while Harry tries to make amends.<\/p>\n Click here<\/a> to see a complete timeline of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle\u2019s feud with the royal family.<\/p>\n Kate Middleton, Prince William, Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle<\/p>\n Best of SheKnows<\/p>\n Sign up for SheKnows’ Newsletter<\/a>.
