As drama continues to unfold in Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s post-royal lives, Kate Middleton, 41, is worried about the duo stirring up trouble ahead of King Charles III’s coronation, according to insider input reported by The Mirror. Prince Harry, 38, released his memoir, Spare, earlier this year which dropped bombshells about his past drug use, details on how his wife “saved” him from a complicated royal life, and included allegations against Prince William and Princess Kate. With so much negative press amplified by Harry and Meghan’s departure, a source says Princess Kate is ‘wary’ that the couple will further complicate her upcoming events. Here’s what we know:
Kate Middleton Reportedly Fears Harry And Meghan Will 'Ruin' Major Events Ahead
Kate Middleton has a flurry of important events and anniversaries headed her way, including her 12th wedding anniversary to Prince William on April 29, the King's coronation on May 6, and Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte’s birthdays on April 23 and May 2, respectively. That is no doubt a busy spring for the princess, but just as she gears up for the weeks ahead, a source claims that she "really doesn't want" the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to "ruin" her events as they have done so in the past.
"Over and over again, Kate's had to contend with this 'look at me' behavior from Meghan and Harry, and she really doesn't want them ruining the next few weeks," the source said. "Their stunts always seem to happen at the worst possible times—on or around important days or milestones."

Harry And Meghan Have Allegedly Ruined Important Events In The Past With Drama
The Sussexes royally exited their duties the day before Kate's 38th birthday, an unpleasant birthday present that shocked not only Kate but the world. Last December, Netflix teased the Harry & Meghan documentary for the first time while Kate and William were in Boston for the 2022 Earthshot Prize awards (according to The Mirror, royal experts claimed the ex-royals "hijacked" the visit with the news). And, Harry's tell-all memoir, which included reputation-damaging details about Kate, dropped the day after the Princess of Wales' 41st birthday.

"Everyone knows Kate is the least cynical person you could ever meet, but there are just too many instances of perfectly timed drama for it to be a coincidence," said the insider. "Of course, it's made Kate wary and anxious about what they might do next."
Harry And Meghan Will Not Be In The King's Coronation Procession
It's certainly strange Harry and Meghan's bombshells perfectly aligned with important moments for Kate, but life as a royal includes major happenings nearly every week. Still, it's reasonable for Kate to feel a little bit uneasy as major moments lie ahead, and uncertainty still remains if Harry and Meghan will be present at the coronation.
Leaked rehearsal plans revealed that there is currently no place for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, 41, in the procession following the King’s crowning in Westminster Abbey and insiders are hinting that the Sussexes are currently involved in "tense" negotiations with the palace over their demands if they attend.

Princess Diana's former butler, Paul Burrell, who worked for the late princess for ten years until her death in 1997, said in a discussion with Closer Magazine, "I don't think Meghan's brave or strong enough to be there—she'd have to look in the eyes of a family she's pushed under the bus," he said. "But I think Harry may come alone and she's probably told him she won’t be able to be by his side with him if he does attend."
The former butler also noted that it would likely be difficult for Prince Harry to face his stepmom, Queen Consort Camilla, who he called a "villain" and the third person in Diana's marriage to the King. Such remarks reportedly aided in the King's decision to kick the Sussexes from their UK home at Frogmore Cottage.
There is certainly a lot gearing up for the royals ahead. With so much chatter and uncertainty regarding Harry and Meghan's position in the royal family, more drama is expected to unfold.
