Prince William and Kate Middleton Are 'Feeling Uneasy' About Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's U.K. Return, Royal Expert Claims

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to return to England later this month so their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, can begin school there in the fall.

However, according to several royal experts, Prince William was caught off guard by the surprise comeback as his wife, Kate Middleton, is reportedly afraid their feud with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will continue to rage on.

"Prince William was blindsided," royal expert Kinsey Schofield told Fox News recently. "He had found Harry’s recent eagerness to publicly signal that he wanted to spend more time in Britain unusual, but that is very different from anticipating a full return."

"William now has to navigate a situation he did not create, did not ask for and, given the state of their relationship, almost certainly would not have chosen," she continued.

"My sources tell me that Catherine does not want to revisit that chapter of her life," Schofield divulged. "She has endured very personal allegations, an enormous amount of public scrutiny and a difficult few years."

"My understanding has always been that her priority is Prince William, their children and the future. Meghan returning to Britain doesn’t mean Catherine suddenly has an obligation to reopen a relationship that has caused considerable hurt," she said.

Expert Helena Chard also chimed in to note how the Prince and Princess of Wales, both 45, are "feeling uneasy" about facing another era in the "endless Sussex soap opera."

"It’s about broken trust," Chard said, adding William feels that Harry, 41, and Meghan 45, "have spent years attacking the institution, then monetizing their grievances through a very lucrative media operation."

"From William's view, it’s an ongoing campaign for maximum impact and self-gain. He’s not going to fuel it, and he’s not going to endorse behavior he sees as damaging," the British broadcaster continued.

It was reported on August 19 the Suits actress and the Spare author would be returning to the United Kingdom alongside Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, for an extended period of time.

The couple left the royal family in 2020 and moved to a $15 million mansion in Montecito, Calif.

King Charles allegedly only found out about his son and daughter-in-law's move on August 16. However, the monarch, 77, "welcomes" the opportunity to spend more time with them in a "private and personal capacity," People reported.

Meghan and Harry will maintain their residence in Montecito, as well as their vacation home in Portugal "while establishing a private, non-royal home base in Britain."

The name of the school, as well as the covert residence where the duo will reside outside of London, will also not be disclosed to the public.
