Prince William and Kate Middleton plan private trip to see Harry and Meghan Markle in Los Angeles

Prince William and Kate Middleton are planning a surprise reunion with Harry and Meghan in California towards the end of this year. A royal insider said that the plans to visit the Sussexes would go ahead as soon as it’s safe to travel. However, the couples are first expected to meet in the UK, before the trip to the US.

The royals are expected to be reunited at a number of events this year, including the Queen’s 95th birthday, Prince Philip’s 100th birthday and the unveiling of Princess Diana’s statue in July.

“They are vowing not to let things get this out of hand in the future and have learned a lot from this difficult experience.

The reunion plan appears to shut down claims of an alleged feud between Prince William and Prince Harry, which was understood to have worsened in the months following Harry’s decision to step down as a senior royal.

The insider continued: “William and Harry’s fallout was very real, very ugly and incredibly intense.

“But, they have reached a point where they both agree life is too short for pettiness and animosity.

“There was a lot of trash-talking on both sides and it’s fair to say each of them felt betrayed by the other as well as disrespected.”

The Queen is said to have “shed tears of joy” after she was told about her grandchildren’s attempts to repair their relationship.

However, other close sources suggest that the reunion between the two families would be “very awkward”.
