Princess Catherine and Prince William Hold Secret Meeting at Windsor Castle Amidst Accusations of Neglecting Veterans

Princess Catherine and Prince William held a secret meeting at Windsor Castle this week, while Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were celebrating the Invictus Games with veterans in Germany.

The meeting by the Princess of Wales comes amidst accusations that senior royals have been neglecting British Armed Forces veterans participating in the Invictus Games due to the ongoing rift between the royal family and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

On a Tuesday, Princess Catherine and Prince William paid a visit to HMP Highdown in Surrey, where they learned about the work of the Forward Trust.

This visit took place while the Invictus Games were in full swing.

Yesterday, they attended an early years meeting as part of Kate's efforts through her Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood.

The initiative aims to promote the significance of the first five years of a child's life and has gained momentum over the past year.

Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made a joint appearance at the Games in Düsseldorf, drawing considerable attention.

The couple received a warm welcome as they entered the arena and took their courtside seats to watch the wheelchair basketball competition.

However, athletes and veterans participating in the event have expressed frustration over the lack of recognition.

The Telegraph reported that despite holding honorary military roles, Buckingham Palace has had more to say about the Highland Games than the Invictus Games.

An unnamed UK media strategist commented on the irony of this situation.

Former Royal Marine Ben McBean acknowledged the rift between the brothers but emphasized the importance of setting aside their differences.

Critics argue that the strained relationship between the royal family and Harry should not negatively impact the disabled veterans competing.

Since tensions emerged between Prince Harry, Meghan, and the rest of the royal family, no senior royals have attended any Invictus events, despite their close ties to the military.

The Prince and Princess of Wales played crucial roles in the early stages of the Invictus Games, even though Prince Harry was its founder.

Reports have surfaced that King Charles has extended an olive branch to his estranged son, Prince Harry, inviting him to private talks to mend their strained relationship.

However, sources cited in Bella magazine suggest that there are conditions attached to these discussions.

Despite this, sources within the royal circle hint that the peace talks between King Charles and Prince Harry may not unfold as initially hoped.

Initial reports indicated that the father and son would meet on September 17, coinciding with the conclusion of Harry's Invictus Games trip to Düsseldorf and the King's return to London from Balmoral.

Insiders previously informed the Mirror that Prince Harry has no intention of meeting with King Charles or Prince William, describing his relationship with the royals as firmly rooted at rock bottom.

They also expressed doubt that the family would be able to resolve their differences anytime soon.

According to an insider quoted by OK magazine, King Charles will always be there for Harry, but he draws the line at public disputes.
