Privately, he and Kate have talked about Meghan\u2019s apparent obsession with his late mum \u2013 from her wardrobe to reportedly taking selfies in the Paris tunnel. \u201cThe thought of her staying in his mum\u2019s old house with a film crew, knowing they could be making a documentary for Netflix, is keeping him awake at night.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-kate-steps-in\">Kate steps in<\/h2>\n<p>It looks like Harry\u2019s visit could be the first of many, with palace sources revealing that while the couple aren\u2019t currently house-hunting in the UK, the prince sees this trip as a test for a more permanent return to his homeland.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, as Wills continues to spiral, the Princess of Wales, 44, is doing her best to calm him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKate is urging William to avoid the Sussex show as much as he can, but he\u2019ll be biting his tongue if Meghan starts lording it over everyone while she\u2019s here,\u201d our insider tells.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWilliam is far from alone in wanting to keep Meghan away from the royal homes and families, but not so Archie and Lilibet. Probably the most aggravating part for William, who reacts badly to manipulation, is he\u2019s as keen to see his niece and nephew as their grandfather is \u2013 and Meghan jolly well knows it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-footer entry-footer\">\n<section class=\"article-footer__section\">\n<div class=\"c-block-authors\">\n<div class=\"c-block-author\">\n<div class=\"c-block-author__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"c-block-author__image-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nowtolove.co.nz\/author\/womans-day\/\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Profile picture of Woman\u2019s Day\" src=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e?d=mm&amp;s=128\" class=\"avatar avatar-128 photo avatar-default\" height=\"128\" width=\"128\"\/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .page-layout__footer --><\/p>\n<section class=\"article-related-stories__wrapper ccb-slider ccb-slider-no-border vertical-card slider\" data-spacebetweendesktop=\"80\" data-slidesperviewdesktop=\"2\">\n<\/section>\n<hr\/>\n<section class=\"article-linkby__wrapper\">\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.nowtolove.co.nz \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The King might be dusting off the fine china for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex\u2019s return to the UK, but the Prince of Wales\u2019 door is firmly bolted shut, royal insiders reveal.
