One point that’s been overlooked is that Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral may be the last public encounter between the Princess of Wales and the Duchess of Sussex. It may also be the last photo of them together. This raises the question of when they might actually share space together again. The only scenario where this could happen again is at King Charles’ funeral.

Although it’s hard to imagine, especially considering how Harry has sat at previous royal events. Earlier this week, the Prince and Princess of Wales initiated a trademark application for US mental health projects, which could overlap with the Sussexes’ efforts in the US.

A source noted that Meghan felt surprised and threatened by their plans, as she saw them as an intrusion into her territory. Reports suggest that the Welsh plan is more of an internal affair, but is seen as a good sign for Catherine's recovery journey. Catherine and Meghan were last photographed together in July 2019, trying to appear friendly despite rumours of discord.

Their interactions at the Commonwealth Day ceremony in March 2020 were equally awkward, with no engagement at all. At the Queen's service later in the year, an awkward moment occurred when William had to direct his family where to go, leading to another tense exchange between Catherine and Meghan. That small gesture to let Meghan pass caught the attention online.

Despite the public spat, it seems that King Charles is still cautious about rebuilding his relationship with Harry. William shared a heartfelt message from his wife as Harry returned to London for a charity event, highlighting the family dynamics amid these complicated interactions.
