Prince William fears Harry will reveal their private chats on Netflix shows
Harry and Meghan are set to join the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations next month – but not everyone’s thrilled about it.
Prince William fears Harry will use details of chats they have at the Platinum Jubilee on his Netflix shows.
Sources say the Duke of Cambridge is “wary” of his younger brother’s decision to attend the Queen’s 70th anniversary celebrations, reports The Sun.
He and Kate, 40, are said to be concerned that Harry, 37, and Meghan, 40, could pull a “stunt” to try to steal the limelight during next month’s extravaganza.
William was said to be deeply hurt after the Oprah Winfrey interview in which the Sussexes alleged racism against an unnamed royal and said Kate made Meghan cry.
He has not seen Harry since last July’s unveiling of a statue of their mother, Princess Diana.
A source said: “William wants to talk to Harry to try to heal the rift between them but he’s fearful it will find its way on to Netflix, Oprah or into Harry’s upcoming book.”
The Sussexes recently announced that they would be at the Jubilee with children Archie, three, and Lilibet, 11 months.
They will be invited to some events and are guaranteed global coverage but will not be on the Palace balcony with the Queen for Trooping of the Colour.
Royal biographer Tom Bower said: “William will worry that Harry and Meghan will pull a stunt to try to get the limelight.
“Kate and William would be foolish not to be suspicious and would be unwise not to be cautious.”
Over the weekend, the Queen issued a sensational statement revealing she’d banned non-working royals – including Harry, Meghan and the disgraced Prince Andrew – from the balcony during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
The trio had been expected to join Her Majesty for the traditional Trooping the Colour Royal Air Force fly-past – but “after careful consideration” they will now be publicly excluded, reported The Sun.
There had initially been doubts over whether Harry and Meghan would even come to the UK for the festivities next month – but minutes after the monarch’s announcement they confirmed they would fly in.
In their first visit as a family of four, they said they were “excited” to bring Archie, three, and baby Lilibet to the UK. It means the Queen, Prince Charles and other senior royals will finally meet Lilibet face-to-face for the first time.
