Experts say the couple is not reacting quickly. Kinsey Schofield says they want to avoid a knee‑jerk reaction and are still suspicious of Harry and Meghan’s motives. Richard Fitzwilliams adds that William and Kate are exasperated. Christopher Andersen also notes their suspicion.

A source told People that William and Kate are consciously not making a fuss. They are watching the situation privately and do not feel the need to say anything in public.

The senior royals are keeping a low profile. They are not commenting publicly because they are worried about trust, consistency and possible distraction for the family.
