A source said the Sussexes intend to limit themselves to public engagements next weekend.

They have discussed logistical arrangements with the palace, but other than that, royal aides are kept at arm’s length about their larger plans.

Harry and William are set to reconcile, with William reportedly hoping to put past grievances behind them.

A source told the Sunday Mirror: “They have also had FaceTime calls with their children, which has allowed them to reconnect.

“William sees that Meghan is a good mother and a devoted wife and he’s really happy for his brother.

“It seems the two have healed the rift and gone back to their old pal terms.”

News of their healing relationship will come as a relief to the Queen, who is set to welcome Harry and Meghan with open arms next week.
