Prince Harry is returning to the UK next month and a royal expert claims the Sussexes could ‘spring a surprise’ on Prince William and Kate Middleton – but only with Meghan Markle’s approval
Prince Harry could be about to make peace with his brother Prince William with a “surprise” gesture, according to a royal expert.
The Duke of Sussex will return to the UK at the beginning of May as he attends a celebration of ten years of the Invictus Games. His visit is set to include a special service at St. Paul’s Cathedral on May 8 but Meghan Markle’s attendance at the event is still ‘to be confirmed’.
After Princess Kate’s cancer diagnosis it was thought the visit could be very awkward for Harry if he doesn’t visit his sick sister-in-law. But now a royal expert claims the Duke might have something up his sleeve. “The Sussexes do spring surprises. This has happened before, and you never know what might happen in the coming weeks or months. But I don’t think Harry would do anything without Megan’s consent,” says royal expert and biographer Richard Fitzwilliams.

Speaking to The Sun, Fitzwililams added: “The best way of resolving the rift, if it is to be resolved, is to do it privately. With Catherine and the King’s illness – that is an enormous game changer even when there are deep family rifts. The two very senior members of the royal family, are very, are seriously ill, and you can’t really predict what’s what’s going to happen.”
This lighter air of well-wishes could be just what the family needs as another expert claims Prince William is feeling “sad and bewildered” about his younger brother Prince Harry’s behaviour ahead of his visit to the UK. “William is sad and bewildered at how bad things have become with his brother, but he is pragmatic about this and believes Harry will always be trouble,” Royal expert and author Tom Quinn exclusively told us.
But Quinn believes the hurt from the brothers’ feud is even worse for Harry. “Things are more difficult for Harry because unlike his brother he doesn’t have a job,” Quinn says. “Harry has Meghan but very little to do in the States and he worries about what on earth he will do if the Meghan and Harry show ever came off the rails. William will always be okay because he’s going to be king. Writing Spare has made Harry something of even less use to the royal family than being the spare.”
It’s not yet known whether the Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle will visit the UK alongside her husband. Meghan has rarely been back in the UK since the pair stepped back from their royal duties in 2020, with her last visit in 2022 to attend Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral. However, she did not return for King Charles III’s coronation last year, which Harry attended alone.
