Here’s what we know about Prince William and Kate Middleton’s secret meeting


The Cambridges are one of the most talked-about families in the world, with Prince Louis making viral news this weekend, showcasing his first royal wave at Trooping the Colour.
But it was the Duke and Duchess themselves who really made news, squeezing in a secret meeting between their banquet with the Trump family and the Queen’s birthday celebrations.
Prince William and Kate Middleton’s secret meeting took place last week, held in London with Sir Keith Mills and Ms Lorraine Heggessey on Tuesday.
But what was it all about?
Well, seeing as Sir Keith Mills is the chairman of the Fab Four’s Royal Foundation and Lorraine Heggessey is CEO of the Royal Foundation, it is thought that their secret meeting could have been to do with their household split from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, with fans concerned as to why the Duke and Duchess of Sussex weren’t in attendance.
It is thought that Prince William and Kate Middleton attended the meeting to discuss their current projects and charity work, but given the fact that the two couples would usually have their meetings together, there is speculation of further splits in terms of charity work.
Say it isn’t so.
