Prince William<\/a> is said to have been given a warning shot after the secret “peace summit” between Prince Harry<\/a> and King Charles<\/a>‘s aides, according to a royal commentator. The Duke of Sussex’s reconciliation wishes were brought back into the spotlight<\/a> this week after pictures of a private meeting between his chief communications officer, Meredith Maines and Liam Maguire, and the King’s communications secretary, Tobyn Andreae, were published.<\/p>\n

The Prince of Wales’s aides did not attend the meeting. But while various reports suggested the heir may be harder to crack when it comes to possibly welcoming Prince Harry<\/a> back into the royal fold in the future, a royal expert said the latest secret meeting may have had another message to send to him<\/a>. Ian Pelham Turner said that it was an “important” aspect that William’s representatives were not invited.<\/p>\n

He told Fox News<\/a>: “The important issue is that Prince William<\/a> and his representatives were not invited.<\/p>\n

“I feel that this was a warning shot across William\u2019s bows that Charles is King, not him.<\/p>\n

“It may also be a stark warning that Charles will decide what happens during his reign, not William.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams held a different opinion<\/a> and said the London meeting would not have happened without William’s “support and understanding”.<\/p>\n

He told the Mail: “The King would never have made these moves without William’s support and understanding.<\/p>\n

“William and Catherine are the future of the monarchy.<\/p>\n

“He has undoubtedly been furious at the way the Sussexes have behaved and undoubtedly regards Harry’s behaviour as treason of a sort. They reportedly have not spoken in over two years.<\/p>\n

“Ideally, the Sussexes might like to drive a wedge between the King and the heir to the throne. They won’t succeed.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prince William is said to have been given a warning shot after the secret “peace summit” between Prince…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6003,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[96,59,2744,2745,1328,983,1761,2740,3538,120,3535,3536,2746,3537,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-6002","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-gb","tag-harry-and-meghan","tag-harry-and-meghan-news","tag-king-charles","tag-prince-harry","tag-prince-harry-feud","tag-prince-harry-news","tag-prince-of-wales","tag-prince-william","tag-prince-william-latest","tag-prince-william-latest-news","tag-prince-william-news","tag-prince-william-prince-harry","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6002","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6002"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6002\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6003"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6002"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6002"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6002"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
