Kate Middleton will only meet Prince Harry on one condition, expert claims

Kate Middleton has reportedly set just one condition for meeting with Prince Harry should he visit the UK this week. According to royal commentator Ingrid Seward, the Princess of Wales is only open to seeing Harry if the request is directly approved by King Charles.

She told The Mirror: "If the King asks, she will do it, but Charles being the sensitive and understanding soul he is, would be unlikely to ask such a favour from his adored daughter-in-law. The time must be right, and it not right now."

Regarding Prince William, Seward suggested that a reunion between him and Harry is unlikely, stating: "William has enough going on and doesn't need the stress. But he might realise Harry will want to see Kate after her cancer diagnosis as they were once so close," reports the Express.

Seward concluded: "It remains to be seen if Kate is willing and able to face up to it. Does she have the energy to begin to try and heal the rift between the brothers or will she prefer to remain in the background?"

The King has been providing support to his "beloved daughter-in-law" in recent weeks, especially after her cancer diagnosis, reports Bristol Live.

After her heartfelt address to the nation on March 22, where she revealed her diagnosis, the King, who was also diagnosed with cancer earlier this year, expressed his admiration by stating he was "so proud of Catherine for speaking as she did".

Meghan Markle has chosen not to join Harry on his UK trip and will instead meet up with him in Nigeria after his visit. The couple have confirmed their plans to journey to the African country shortly after Harry's UK stint.
