Prince William and Prince Harry’s showstopping reunion over the weekend to greet mourners with their wives outside of Windsor Castle was delayed by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, a royal expert has claimed.
King Charles III’s feuding sons were supposed to walk out alongside Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, and Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, an hour earlier than when they arrived outside of Windsor on Saturday.
But it’s reported that the foursome — often referred to as the Fab Four — got caught up thanks to the Sussexes.
According to NBC’s royal commentator Daisy McAndrew, Harry and Meghan had to “quickly go and get changed” to meet mourners.
McAndrew claimed Meghan had to have her “hair and make-up” done.
“Interestingly, the reason that the walkabout was so late — it was scheduled to be nearly an hour before they actually came – was because of course Harry and Meghan had to go and get changed,” McAndrew told The Today Show, noting that they were an hour late.

The Sussexes’ reps did not immediately respond to request for comment.
The two princes and their wives strolled together outside Windsor Castle to thank the crowds that had gathered there to offer sympathy and to view the mounds of bouquets and balloons left by well-wishers.
