Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are currently in England for several days of engagements (plus a quick trip to Germany!), and the couple are said to have no plans whatsoever to meet up with Prince William and Kate Middleton. You know, despite the fact that for the latter half of the trip they'll be staying a five minute walk away from each other.
The Sun reports that senior royals are "keen to avoid" the Sussexes until after Prince Harry's memoir comes out later this year. Prince William specifically "feels he cannot trust his younger brother not to repeat their conversations," while Prince Charles and the Queen also have "no immediate plans" to see the couple during their trip.
As royal biographer Angela Levin tells the outlet, "I think it's likely that Catherine and William will try to avoid any contact with Harry and Meghan until they know the contents of Harry's memoirs and their Netflix documentary. They have lost their chance of being trusted as the chance is they will use any conversation."
So...when is Prince Harry's memoir coming out? There's been speculation that it could hit shelves in time for the Thanksgiving/Christmas market, but Page Six recently revealed that it might be pushed to 2023 due to being full of of "truth bombs" that Harry's unsure about publishing. But a source tells The Sun the book is done: "The manuscript has been finished and gone through all of the legal processes. It's done and out of Harry's hands. The publishing date has been pushed back once but it is on track for the end of the year."
Harry and Meghan's docuseries is also due out around the same time, and a source recently told Page Six that "Netflix wants to make sure they get in there and don't get scooped" and that execs "knew the book was coming out, which is why they wanted the series this year. They don't want to hold off any longer."
