The quiet corridors of Windsor are reportedly buzzing with a new wave of tension asPrince Harry and Meghan Markle prepare to return to the United Kingdom. While the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have spent the last few years building their lives in California, their looming reappearance on British soil is not being met with universal warmth, even among members of the royal fold.
One report claims that for Kate Middleton, the prospect of a reconciliation, or even simple shared proximity, appears to have reopened old wounds that have yet to heal. The Princess of Wales is reportedly not ecstatic about a Sussex reunion.
Kate Middleton is reportedly struggling to reconcile her current role with the news that the Sussexes might be integrated back into the royal fold. According to a report from Closer, Kate Middleton feels a 'real sense of betrayal' about Prince Harry and Markle's return to the United Kingdom after what they did to the throne.

According to the tipster, Middleton believes that 'service is long-term' and 'not conditional'. Middleton has reportedly informedKing Charlesabout how she feels about the matter.
