Story summary

According to a recent documentary "Harry & Meghan: The Return of the Prince," royal expert Robert Jobson stated that Kate Middleton is unlikely to act as a mediator between her husband Prince William and his brother Prince Harry, despite speculation in the Daily Mail. Senior royals editor at People, Erin Hill, cited palace insiders saying that William and Kate have decided behind closed doors to take an "old-school royal approach" toward Harry and Meghan's return to the UK: "Keep calm, carry on, do the job." This indicates that William and Kate, both aged 44, are not prioritizing efforts to mend relations with their younger brother and his wife.
