Prince Harry’s recent legal victory in the battle to get his U.K.-funded police protection reinstated could clear a path for him and wife Meghan Markle to return to England and the royal fold, but a few key figures are still standing in their way.

Examiner can reveal that Princess Anne has been quietly pulling strings behind the scenes at Windsor Castle, helping Prince William and Queen Camilla block any path back for the Sussexes and urging King Charles III to ban the Suits actress, 44, from crossing the threshold.

“Anne doesn’t tend to interfere or get involved with family politics all that often,” reveals an insider, “so when she does speak up and offer her opinion, it counts for a lot.”

While the Princess Royal, 75, has not always seen eye-to-eye with William, 43, the insider says when it comes to Meghan, she agrees with her nephew’s take. “[Anne] says it’s madness that Charles would countenance any type of reconciliation or forgiveness,” adds the insider, “let alone allow this upstart anywhere near them.”

As Examiner has previously reported, William has urged his father to cut ties with Harry, 41, and Meghan, with a source claiming the future king feels the Sussexes are “shamelessly taking advantage” of his 77-year-old father’s goodwill.

He isn’t the only one.

“If Meghan does decide to come back to the U.K. and finds herself in the same room with [Anne or Camilla, 78], she’ll get extremely short shrift,” shares the insider, “which is just about the most fearsome combination imaginable!”
