Prince William and Kate Middleton are reportedly feeling apprehensive about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's recent travels abroad, particularly their trip to Nigeria, according to royal expert Tom Quinn. Speaking to The Mirror, Quinn expressed that senior royals, especially William and Kate, are concerned about the potential implications of Harry and Meghan continuing to organize such high-profile trips, potentially positioning themselves as the public face of the royal family.
Quinn highlighted that William's worry is exacerbated by his wife's battle with cancer, leaving him unable to compete with the attention garnered by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Moreover, he suggested that Harry and Meghan might include their children, Archie and Lilibet, in future trips, similar to their recent tour of Nigeria. Quinn emphasized that Harry and Meghan take immense pride in their children and are likely to feature them prominently during such tours to garner the publicity they crave, especially as they venture into their entrepreneurial pursuits.
As Kate undergoes cancer treatment, William and Kate have reportedly scaled back their royal duties. Prince Harry, who recently arrived in London without Meghan, is said to have been deeply affected by Kate's diagnosis. Despite their past close bond, it's unlikely that Harry will have the opportunity to reconnect with Kate during this time, as William is reportedly adamant about keeping his brother away from his wife during her illness.
Kate's cancer diagnosis, which she revealed through a video message earlier this year, sparked widespread speculation and concern. In the video, she disclosed that her cancer was in the early stages of chemotherapy, emphasizing the need for privacy during her treatment. While she did not divulge specifics about her diagnosis, she assured the public that she was receiving appropriate medical care and requested understanding and space during this challenging time.
