If you’ve been following this week’s royal news, you know that there’s been a great deal of scrutiny on the relationship between Prince William and Kate Middleton.
And with Prince Harry revealing plans to participate in an event honoring Prince Diana, the focus on the latest royal drama is sure to intensify even further.
Obviously, William and Harry have been feuding for several years now, so that’s nothing new.
But on Thursday night, the royals will come together (kind of) and play host to the Legacy Awards, which will be held at the Science Museum in London.

According to a press release obtained by CNN, the ceremony “celebrates the achievements of 20 exceptional young leaders who are inspiring the next generation to follow in Diana, Princess of Wales’ footsteps and make a positive difference to the world.”
William and Harry Are Still at War
In the past, William and Harry have set aside their differences for events honoring Diana’s memory, but that will not be the case at tonight’s ceremony.
According to the press release, Harry will “appear” at the event via video call, but he’ll do so only after William has delivered his speech and vacated the premises.

Yes, the tension between the brothers is so high that they don’t even want to be in the same building virtually.
According to Kinsey Schofield of the “To Di For Daily” podcast, it’s the latest indication that the brothers aren’t even close to making peace.
“There’s one huge obstacle in Harry’s way, and that’s Prince William,” Schofield recently told Fox News Digital.
“Harry will not be allowed to return in any capacity [to royal duties] if Prince William has any influence over the situation,” she added.

“William understands that Harry and Meghan don’t properly consider the consequences and aren’t trustworthy.”
Clearly, William has no intention of forgiving Harry anytime soon — but the future king has bigger problems these days.
And it’s getting harder and harder for him to hide said problems from the public.
Prince William Puts In Public Appearance Without Kate Middleton
Earlier today, William made an appearance at the opening of a new youth center called WEST in Hammersmith, west London.

According to People, the amenities at the facility include a sports hall, fitness suite, indoor climbing wall, teaching kitchen, performing arts studio, and cafe.
Additionally, the facilities will serve “hot, nutritious” meals costing no more than $1.30.
It sounds like a wonderful place, but of course, in covering William’s visit, the media’s focus was less on the worthy cause and more on the absence of Kate Middleton.

As you’ve likely heard by now, Kate has been missing from the public eye since Christmas.
During that time, a number of conflicting theories have emerged to explain her absence.
Some believe that Kate is suffering some sort of health crisis in the wake of the abdominal surgery she underwent in January.
Others insist that William was caught having an affair with Lady Rose Hanbury, a situation that prompted Kate to take an unspecified hiatus from her royal duties.

Whatever the case, it seems that Kate is in the midst of a turning point.
We’re sure that the royals want nothing more than for the eyes of the world to look elsewhere while they navigate what seems to be some serious turbulence.
But the speculation will likely continue as long as Kate’s whereabouts and condition remain shrouded in mystery.
We’ll have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.
