Prince William, the heir to the British throne, is very protective of the monarchy's reputation and credibility amid crises surrounding Prince Harry and Prince Andrew as he prepares for his reign.
The future monarch's concern over the Sussexes' next move persists, with sources saying he believes their access to the Palace could create new problems for the working royals and their aides.
A royal insider claims: "The Prince of Wales may not have the right read on his estranged brother Harry, but he and Catherine are not hypocrites. They work hard to project a positive image of the Firm."
The source explained what the eldest son of King Charles is afraid of about the Sussexes, saying: "William may eventually trust Harry again, but his view of Meghan won't change soon.
"He believes she's outspoken and craves the spotlight, despite complaining about media intrusion," insiders claimed.
It comes amid reports that the Prince of Wales is worried and afraid of Harry's Palace concetions. William allegedly beleives that any conversations can travel and that details he regards as private might eventually be finding their way to his brother now that he is back in Britain.
The two royal brothers' relationship subsequently deteriorated through the Sussexes' 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, the Netflix series Harry & Meghan, and the publication of Harry's memoir Spare.
