A spokesman confirmed to Daily Beast that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex reached out to William, 38, and Kate, 39, privately, although the insider didn't reveal any information of what was in the message sent by Prince Harry and Meghan.

Prince William and Kate were seen walking with Prince Harry outside St George's Chapel in Windsor, with Kate chatting to Harry as they left the service but reports say Prince Harry didn't get a chance to see his nephews and nieces (opens in new tab) before leaving the UK (opens in new tab).

And since returning to the US, Harry has been looking after his wife (opens in new tab) as she prepares to give birth.

Kate and William, who have children Prince George (opens in new tab), seven, Princess Charlotte, five, and Prince Louis, who recently turned three (opens in new tab), shared a sweet family video to celebrate their anniversary.

Prince Harry is expected to be reunited with his brother this July for the memorial to their late mother (opens in new tab) Princess Diana, on what would have been her 60th birthday.
