Events including overseas visits are planned months in advance.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The couple will not want anything to overshadow the roles they play as full-time working royals.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018There is an increasing view that the King and his heir may well have to try and draw a line in the sand when it comes to Harry and Meghan.

These included Thomas van Straubenzee and Edward van Cutsem, who were close to both William and Harry as they were growing up.<\/p>\n<p>It was seen as a sign of how the loyalties of the inner circle have been tested by Harry\u2019s ongoing feud with his brother. In happier times Harry was often photographed at social occasions with the friends who now appear to have sided with William.<\/p>\n<p>If the heir to the throne does confront his brother it would be a high risk strategy. He would be concerned that any private conversations with Harry would be publicised by the couple, who have become outspoken critics of the royal \u2018institution\u2019, as Meghan calls it.<\/p>\n<p>So far William and Kate have shown restraint when it comes to the Sussex clan.
