Prince William and Princess Catherine have reportedly hatched a bombshell plan for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as the couple return to the UK. The Prince and Princess of Wales reportedly discussed the return of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex with King Charles during their summer break in Balmoral.
This is where the royals hatched a plan, which could include an explosive face-to-face meeting between Prince William, Princess Kate and Prince Harry, it is claimed. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are now residing in the UK with their two children, arriving just days after their shock return was revealed to the public.

With the Sussexes now two weeks into their new life in the UK, William and Catherine could be set to come face-to-face with them. A source told Woman & Home: “William is extremely concerned about what Harry’s return to Britain will mean for working members of the family.
“It may well be too risky for them to just sit back and let Harry make the next move. There are suggestions that they feel they have no choice but to ask the Duke of Sussex for a face-to-face meeting to discuss the future and lay down, or at least reiterate, some of the rules.
“Whether Harry will agree to meeting them all is up for debate, but it is felt that the King and William have little option but to try.”
Writing for the publication, royal expert Duncan Larcombe described the prospect of a face-to-face meeting as “potentially explosive”.
“While a meeting may well be useful in rebuilding some kind of relationship between William and Harry, it would be fraught with risks… Any meeting between the royal brothers is likely to be at the very least frosty, and at worst a full-on confrontation.”

The source also noted that William appears to have been left with no other choice than to meet his brother, with a meeting like the 2020 Sandringham Summit likely to take place if they do meet.
The Sussexes are thought to now live in the Cotswolds with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, now aged seven and five.
