Princess Kate and Prince William have "no plans to reconcile" with Prince Harry when he visits in May, sources have claimed.

The Prince and Princess of Wales have thought to have put the "Harry problem" to the back of their minds in the wake of Kate's cancer battle.


Harry and Meghan Markle are understood to have made contact with William and Kate "privately" on Friday night following the princess announcing she is undergoing preventative chemotherapy.

It is not clear if they made contact via phone, video call or sent some simple messages of support.

As it currently stands, the possibility of Harry flying back to the UK, like he did when he found out about King Charles's cancer diagnosis, is unknown.

It has also been claimed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex only learned about Kate's condition at the same time the world heard the news.

A royal commentator told The Sun that Kate did not tell Harry and Meghan about her cancer because they "can't be trusted".

In May, Prince Harry is thought to be attending a service at St Paul's Cathedral in London to mark the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games.

The solo visit, likely without Meghan and their two young children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, could be an opportunity to build bridges with Prince William, 41.

Sources close to the Waleses have told The Telegraph that, with both Kate and King Charles's health battles, the "Harry problem" is the last thing on their minds.

A royal source told the publication this weekend that William "has always done all he can to protect his family".

This implies the Prince of Wales is focused on ensuring Kate's privacy and protecting Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, eight, and Prince Louis, five.

Sources told the New York Post that the Sussexes had "no idea" about Kate's cancer diagnosis.

The Duke of Sussex, 39, previously described Kate as the "big sister I never had" when she became engaged to William in 2010.

However, Harry's relationship with the Prince and Princess of Wales has fractured following the bitter aftermath of the Sussexes leaving the UK and stepping down as working royals.
