Prince William<\/a> has reportedly made his stance clear on Prince Harry<\/a> and Meghan Markle<\/a>‘s return to the UK, as King Charles<\/a> brutally reiterated the Sussexes’ roles. TalkTV<\/a> presenter Mark Dolan recently appeared on News24, formerly Sky News Australia, where he opened up about the Prince of Wales’ stance against his brother and their fractured relationship. Talking to broadcaster Paul Murray, Mark stated: “Well, the latest is, according to Vanity Fair and my good friend, Katie Nichols, William and Catherine feel completely derailed at this unexpected return of the Sussexes.”<\/p>\n

Addressing their return, after six years in California<\/a>, he claimed: “We know why they’ve come back to the United Kingdom. The Sussex brand has been a complete flop in the United States. Harry is sweating the small stuff over his visa<\/a> because it hasn’t yet been proven whether he was honest with the authorities about his alleged drug use<\/a> when he filled out that visa application.<\/p>\n

“Plus, the couple are going flat broke,” Mark alleged. “Yes, they’ve got some savings, but it’s going out the door very quickly, so they’ve come back to the UK in retreat.<\/p>\n

“Clearly, King Charles is warm to some kind of reconciliation, to rebuild a relationship with the Sussexes, but William is not having it.”<\/p>\n

The presenter stated: “I’m hearing that William despises his brother; he’s in no mood to reconcile, and Robert Jobson, who is another well-connected royal author, has said that William and Catherine are refusing to engage in what he calls the circus around Harry and Meghan.<\/p>\n

“I think it’s a problem for William and Catherine on one level because it doesn’t matter how many hospital wings they open, the Sussexes are going to get the headlines, but I would argue those aren’t going to be good headlines.”<\/p>\n

This comes as King Charles released a letter to clarify Prince Harry<\/a> and Meghan’s non-working royal roles upon their return to the UK with their children, Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five.<\/p>\n

The King’s letter, which was sent to Prince Harry’s team, Government departments, military officials and Lord Lieutenants, reiterated that they will still not be able to use titles of “His and Her Royal Highness”, and remain “private citizens”.<\/p>\n

The statement was branded <\/a>a “brutal putdown”<\/a> by Royal Historian Alexander Larman, who said on GB News<\/a> that the Sussexes may have expected special treatment during their extended stay.<\/p>\n

He told Martin Daubney: “They’ve been put in their place here, but what’s coming next? What are we going to see as the next development?”<\/p>\n

The letter also made clear that engagements, including charitable work carried out by the Sussexes, will be in a private capacity and they will not be representing the Royal Family.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the King’s message said that any questions from organisations about the reception to be given to the Sussexes, “particularly where recourse to public funds may be required, should be directed to Buckingham Palace”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prince William has reportedly made his stance clear on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s return to the UK,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":598434,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[156,15858,11061,294914,294917,259421,111,294912,139,69,3578,4289,294915,294916,294913,172885,57857],"class_list":["post-598433","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-harry-and-meghan","tag-king-charles-iii","tag-king-charles-letter","tag-king-charles-stance","tag-mark-dolan","tag-new-zealand","tag-news-24","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-prince-harry","tag-prince-william","tag-prince-william-harry-uk","tag-sussexes-return","tag-talktv-mark-dolan","tag-william-and-catherine","tag-william-and-kate"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/598433","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=598433"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/598433\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/598434"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=598433"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=598433"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=598433"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
