Prince William is set to execute a ruthless plan to keep Meghan Markle and Prince Harry away from the Royal Family fold, according to a source.
William, who is the heir to the throne and will become King one day, does not see a future for his brother in the monarchy, a source has claimed.
The Prince of Wales is no longer on speaking terms with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
The source said: "William is already planning for when he becomes king, and he doesn’t see a future for the Sussexes in the Royal Family.

"The feeling is that allowing the Sussexes back into the fold is a bad move and they should be resigned to the fringes indefinitely."
The insider added that King Charles has not given up on reconciliation with Prince Harry.
They told the Express: "William is completely adamant that they [the Sussexes] shouldn’t be welcomed back, while the King thinks it would help stop the media circus surrounding the family.
The source added: "William doesn’t think the Sussexes have much more ammunition and they’ve already played their best cards.
Prince Harry looked to have offered King Charles an olive branch last month when he rang him on his 75 birthday.
