PRINCE William and Kate Middelton will “likely avoid” Harry & Meghan as they embark on day one of their whistlestop UK tour.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have officially touched down in the UK and will visit Manchester today – but aren’t expected to meet with any of the Royal family, it has been reported.
They have come to the UK amid a storm of allegations, after Meghan released her podcast, Archetypes, and dropped bombshell claims to New York magazine, The Cut.
But as the Duke and Duchess’ visit sparks a frenzy among royal fans, a long-awaited reunion with Prince William and Kate Middleton does not seem likely.
Speaking to US Weekly, Christopher Andersen – the author of The Day Diana Died – described Harry and Meghan’s trip as a game of “royal hide and seek”.
Andersen said, “It’s going to be interesting in the next few days when Harry and Meghan go to Europe, and they’re gonna be playing royal hide and seek.”
He also noted that William and Kate will be away during the first part of the Sussexes trip to Britain.
“But, on Sept. 8, the Sussexes will meet the Cambridge couple for a brief stroll on the grounds of Windsor.”
“It’s gonna have all the markings of an old-fashioned farce with these people trying to avoid each other,” he added.

Duncan Larcombe told GB news that it is “inevitable” Meghan and Harry will be stripped of their royal titles.
He said: “In many ways, stripping them with the title isn’t blindly going to make any difference.

The Royals avoid reminding the public of Princess Diana pain, says Omid Scobie
Omid wrote in his Yahoo! column that the Royal family have a “sanitised history” when it comes to the late Princess.
For the Royal family, Princess Diana is “remembered in a way that is safe for them,” wrote Scobie.

It is a “sanitised history,” he wrote, which is why they do not commemorate her passing on the anniversary of her death.

Prince Charles’ peace offering thrown ‘back in his face’
Harry and Meghan Markle are pushing Harry’s father, the Prince of Wales, further away, claims a royal commentator.
The Sussexes’ continuous interviews and explosive claims about the Firm are “pretty unfair” claimed Russell Myers.
Russell, the Daily Mirror’s royal editor, told podcast Pod Save the Queen: “I know for a fact he has offered them a place to stay, he has produced an olive branch for them.
“He wanted to bring them close, he tried to make instances to see them and I just think it’s being thrown back in his face.”
