In a heartwarming move, Kate Middleton, 43, has joined her husband Prince William on an official engagement to mark the third anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's passing. The couple visited the local Women's Institute (WI) branch in Sunningdale, Berkshire, just a stone's throw away from Windsor Castle.

Sources close to the royal family revealed that Kate was keen to join William for this special occasion, and we can see why - it's not every day you get to pay tribute to the beloved monarch who inspired so much admiration. The Princess of Wales wore a stunning black, grey, and white tartan dress from Alessandra Rich, perfectly complemented by tonal heels.

The couple chatted with WI members, support staff, and trustees from across the Berkshire Federation of Women's Institutes (BFWI), hearing about their work and the opportunities it provides for women. Some of these ladies had even met or interacted with Queen Elizabeth II herself - what a treat for William to hear their stories!

Harry Returns to Britain Amid Reconciliation Rumors

Meanwhile, Prince Harry has touched down in the UK after a five-month absence, sparking speculation about whether he'll stage a reunion with his father, King Charles. The Duke of Sussex was spotted arriving at Heathrow Airport and whisked away to Windsor Castle, where he paid private respects to Queen Elizabeth II's final resting place at St George's Chapel.

The 37-year-old has a packed schedule of official engagements over the next four days, including attending the WellChild Awards in London. He'll also visit the Community Recording Studio in Nottingham to announce a substantial donation to charity Children in Need. Could this be a gesture towards his father?

King Charles and Prince Harry: A Reconciliation on the Horizon?

Sources close to the royal family suggest that a meeting between King Charles and Prince Harry is not entirely off the table, but we'll have to wait and see if it happens. The palace remains tight-lipped about any potential reunion, but rumors are swirling about a possible get-together.

Meanwhile, Prince William has official engagements elsewhere each day of Harry's visit, leaving many wondering whether he's trying to keep his brother at arm's length or simply busy with his own duties. Only time will tell if these two brothers-in-law can put their differences aside and repair their fractured relationship.
