Kate Middleton news: Harry has ‘no choice’ but to see William on next visit; BBC defends cancer coverage

The Duke of York was seen waving as he rode around Windsor on Friday as Netflix drama Scoop, which reenacts the story of how the BBC secured the now infamous interview, went live.

Alexander Butler reports:

A royal author has claimed Prince Harry will have to meet with his father King Charles and his brother Prince William if the Duke of Sussex makes a trip to the UK next month for a celebration of 10 years of the Invictus Games.

Tom Quinn told the Mirror: “If he decides not to come, it will take some explaining because everyone will assume it’s because he doesn’t want the awkwardness of having to meet his brother or having to choose not to meet him.

”Not coming would be worse than finding some sort of compromise where Harry sees William for 10 minutes or comes up with some reason why he doesn’t have time to see his brother and his father and has to get back to the States quickly to be with his children. But no one is going to be fooled by these excuses.”

The BBC has said it received complaints from people who believed its coverage of the Princess of Wales’ cancer diagnosis was “excessive and insensitive”.

Kate revealed she was undergoing treatment for cancer in an emotional video message released on March 22, in which she told others battling the disease “you are not alone”.

The broadcaster had aired the full video and said it was “mindful” of its reporting approach, and did not speculate on details that had not been made public.

Prince Harry will swerve a royal wedding this year to avoid an awkward encounter with William, according to a Royal expert.

Royal biographer Tom Quinn said the Duke would miss the wedding of Hugh Grosvenor, the 7^th Duke of Westminster, in June, as it would be “too awkward”.

Prince William is set to attend the ceremony in Chester, Cheshire, as Grosvenor is Prince George’s godfather, Mr Quinn said.
