Prince William and Catherine’s Subtle Outreach to Harry and Meghan After Queen’s Passing
In the tumultuous period following Queen Elizabeth II’s death and funeral events, one small act seemed aimed at reconciliation between the brothers. As Prince William and Princess Kate, along with other senior royals, greeted well-wishers outside Windsor Castle days after the Queen was laid to rest, they made a point to acknowledge Harry and Meghan who were viewing floral tributes alongside them.
While interacting with the crowds, William and Kate paused near Harry and Meghan, exchanging a few words. This brief interaction appeared to be a peace offering of sorts from the new Prince and Princess of Wales to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Tensions have been high between the siblings following Harry and Meghan’s relocation and bombshell interview last year where they made accusations about the royal family.
The public sighting of all four royals together was one of the first since then and seemed a respectful gesture amid a difficult time for the monarchy. With William now taking on the role of the heir to the throne, small reconciliatory moves could signify an effort to establish a more united front going forward as the royal family transitions to a new era under King Charles III.
