Prince William and Kate Middleton have devised a foolproof strategy to tackle Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Multiple outlets have reported that the Sussexes will be returning to the UK by the end of the month. While King Charles has reportedly welcomed the decision wholeheartedly, the Waleses are not too pleased with the development. Now, as per Rob Shuter, they have come up with an idea to handle the Sussexes.

Sources say the Waleses intend to play the long game rather than engage the Sussexes publicly

According to Rob Shuter, Prince William and Kate Middleton aim to play the “long game” rather than deal with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in public. The Waleses’ brilliant strategy is surprisingly simple: do nothing and wait for the Sussexes to falter.

Sources revealed that William and Kate are sure Harry and Meghan won’t stay in the UK forever. The Waleses see the reported six-month stay as a temporary arrangement and believe time is firmly on their side. A palace insider dished: “William and Kate play the long game. They’re not going to fight them, brief against them, or get dragged into another Sussex circus. Their attitude is simple: sit back, wait and see what actually happens.”

The Waleses are also taking advantage of the fact that everything is uncertain and undecided for the Sussexes. As per reports, Markle was in talks to star in the third season of The Gentlemen.

An insider said: “There was never a signed, sealed acting job. Meghan wants it badly, but this was always a possibility, not a done deal.”

As per Rob Shuter, Markle is merely looking to expand her business and explore work opportunities in the UK. The former actress has no emotional connection to Britain. The source chimed in: “If the opportunity was filming in Canada, they’d be talking about Canada. Britain is about the potential work. For Harry, the bonus is spending more time near his family.”

As for William and Kate, they are seemingly aware that trouble follows Harry and Meghan wherever they go. “William has enormous confidence in Harry and Meghan’s ability to create their own problems. Why interfere? Every time there’s chaos around them, William and Kate look calmer, stronger and more dependable,” the source concluded.
