The royal insiders have revealed Prince William’s ‘ultimate goal’ regarding his brother Harry and Meghan Markle two months after their return to Britain.

Speaking to the Heat World, the royal sources have claimed Prince William’s ultimate goal is that Meghan and Harry ‘can no longer trade on their royal status.’

The close confidant said Prince William remains clear: “He wants to see the day, sooner rather than later, where Harry and Meghan can no longer trade on their royal status. He’s not above reminding Charles that Harry is going against what the late Queen ordered; he knows that gets to his father in a big way.”

However, the close sources said for William that means accepting that this may not be a battle won overnight.

“If William had his way, this would have been handled a long time ago, but he’s accepted that this is going to take as long as it takes. What he won’t accept is defeat," the insider says.

Referring to King Charles letter to clarify Meghan and Harry’s status after their return and claims that William forced the monarch to do so, the source says the Prince of Wales ultimate aim is not simply to secure one public statement, but to bring the entire situation to a 'definitive conclusion'.

They add, “William’s goal is for it to just be the beginning. His argument is that it would serve everyone best if they just got this over with, rather than dragging it out and having all this confusion.”
