Nobody expected it, but the image made the front page of all British newspapers this Saturday, September 10: Prince William and Prince Harry, together, walking towards the flowers placed on the gates of Windsor Palace. Accompanied by their wives, Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle, the two brothers then spent more than half an hour speaking with the fans present, accepting their condolences with dignity.
A completely new moment, since for two years, the two brothers no longer speak to each other: furious at the departure of his younger brother to the United States but above all at his many confidences in the American press, the eldest refused to speak to him. But in exceptional circumstances, exceptional reactions: depending on the DailyMail, it was he, after a phone call from his father, King Charles III, who would have invited his little brother to participate in this moving moment.
Deciding to put their estrangement aside the time of mourning, the two brothers then shared this tribute but also the journey by car to the palace. Their wives, Kate Middleton (with a new hairstyle) and Meghan Markle, made their first official outing since the queen’s death and competed in beauty.
A reunion after several difficult years?
Could the two brothers, who will both meet in Windsor during the week, finally be reconciled after two years of war? Nobody knows, so deep are the grievances. But it would seem all the same that the time is for appeasement, especially behind their father, finally king and who will need their support. It was he who was the first to extend a hand to his youngest son and his American wife.
Indeed, during his first speech as king, he assured Prince Harry and his wife of “all his love“, reaffirming therefore that he has his full place in the royal family despite his sensational departure in March 2020. He had also discussed at length the subject of William, new Prince of Wales and heir to the throne, to whom he had shown all his support.
As a reminder, the visit of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to the United Kingdom had been planned for a long time: the couple was to attend several events, including a congress in Manchester, but had not planned to visit the royal family, despite the fact that their Frogmore Cottage is located only 700 meters from the new home of Prince William and Kate Middleton! Brought together by fate, will the two brothers succeed in melting the ice between them? Answer in the next few days!
