The Sussexes are heading back to England six years after moving to California, and the royals literally just found out. Prince William and Kate Middleton are said to be “fuming” over Harry’s decision to move home to the UK, and apparently William’s holding crisis talks with his team. On top of that, he’s convinced Harry is trying to become a working royal again.

“They’re absolutely fuming to be blindsided like this but, like the King, there’s nothing they can do about it,” a source tells Woman’s Day. “William suspects Harry and Meghan actually do think they’re going to be accepted back onto the Royal roster. It may not happen overnight, but William’s convinced this is their long game—and he’s stunned that Harry thinks there would be even remotely a chance.”

Another source adds that “William’s team are in intense meetings on how to minimize any risk to him and the family. He’ll be seeking advice from everyone from lawyers to diplomatic-crisis experts.”

Oh, and “If Charles does go ahead with [a change in agreement with Harry], he has no intention of it remaining that way once he’s King.”

As a reminder, William and Harry haven’t seen each other in literal years due to their ongoing feud, so it’s hard to imagine that the family will be doing many appearances together. Meanwhile, there are reports that the Sussexes’ move to the UK might be less permanent than we initially thought. More on that below!
