Princess Anne Allegedly Supports Prince William, Camilla's Desire to Block Harry, Meghan's Return

The internal dynamics of the British Royal Family are shifting toward a more resolute, unified stance on the future of the monarchy and the Sussexes. A strategic alliance has reportedly formed within the palace walls, designed to safeguard the institution from further external disruption from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

According to a new report, Princess Anne, often regarded as the hardest-working member of the family, has allegedly aligned herself with Prince William and Queen Camilla's resolute stand to prevent the Duke and Duchess of Sussex from returning to the royal fold. Further, an insider claims the Princess Royal believes it would be 'madness' for King Charles to 'countenance any type of reconciliation.'

Why Princess Anne Is Backing the Sussex Blockade

Princess Anne has long been known for her unwavering dedication to the Crown and her preference for a streamlined, efficient monarchy. She had been the hardest-working royal before 2025, when the monarch beat her by attending 50 more official engagements despite his weekly cancer treatment.

A new report claims that the Princess Royal has decided to support Prince William and Queen Camilla in blocking a potential return for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, and the move is rooted in a desire for long-term stability. Sources suggest that Princess Anne views the couple's previous departure and subsequent public criticisms as a significant distraction from the family's core duties.

'[Anne] says it's madness that Charles would countenance any type of reconciliation or forgiveness,' the insider told Examiner, adding, 'let alone allow this upstart anywhere near them.'

The tipster added that in case Markle is bold enough to return to the palace and finds herself around Queen Camilla and Princess Anne, 'she'll get extremely short shrift' from the 'most fearsome combination imaginable!'

Prince William Rejects Harry's Bid for a Royal Return

According to a report by InTouch Weekly, Prince William has firmly 'shut the door' on any possibility of his brother returning to official duties. Prince Harry is said to have made informal overtures regarding a temporary return to assist the family during a period of reduced staffing. However, the Prince of Wales remains unmoved by these requests, citing a complete breakdown of trust between the two brothers.

William reportedly feels that his brother's return would create an atmosphere of unpredictability that the palace cannot afford. The future King is focused on maintaining a calm environment for his wife and children as they navigate their own public challenges. Also, the Prince of Wales is reportedly keeping his younger brother away from the monarchy not to upset the latter but to 'protect the monarchy' because Harry's 'lack of intelligence is a danger to the throne, Britain and himself!'

Queen Camilla Resists the Return of the Sussexes

Prince William is not the only senior royal opposed to Prince Harry and Markle's return to the palace. Queen Camilla reportedly shares the same stance and doesn't even understand why Kate Middleton keeps reaching out to her brother-in-law, who relocated to California in 2020 after the Spare author tarnished the monarch's image, per the Royal Observer.

The Queen wanted to protect the cancer-stricken King, and her priority is his health and well-being. Apparently, Camilla feels that the tension with the Sussexes could only cause unnecessary stress or emotional exhaustion to King Charles.

Kate Middleton's Quiet Campaign for a Family Reunion

In contrast to the hardline positions taken by Prince William and Queen Camilla, the Princess of Wales is reportedly acting as a peacemaker. Kate Middleton has allegedly been quietly urging her husband to reconcile with Prince Harry as she values their bond.

Middleton is reportedly one of the few royals who remains in contact with Prince Harry. And at one point, the Princess of Wales reportedly told the Duke of Sussex to 'come back without Meghan on his next trip' to show his older brother that he is his own man. Despite her efforts, Middleton faces significant opposition from the alliance of Princess Anne, Prince William, and Queen Camilla.
