Prince William and Princess Kate gave Prince Harry and Meghan Markle the silent treatment after their return to the UK.

Sources say the royals are not on speaking terms since Harry and Meghan abandoned their royal duties in 2020.

Harry, 41, and Meghan, 45, were married in 2018 and share two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

A source told PEOPLE that the Prince and Princess of Wales have yet to comment on Harry and Meghan’s return to avoid any “knee-jerk reaction”.

They said: “They are watching this space. It’s private – they don’t feel the need to say anything or demonstrate anything outwardly.”

Multiple sources told PEOPLE last week that William, 44, will maintain “no contact” with Harry despite his return to the UK after six years.

Harry and Meghan hoped to find fame and fortune in the United States after their brief stay in Canada in 2020. But fame and fortune eluded them in the U.S. because Americans don’t take too kindly to British royalty.

Harry and Meghan have settled into a beautiful house in the Cotswolds, outside of London, according to The-Express U.S.

But Meghan has her sights on a sprawling estate in the Cotswolds that reminds her of their Montecito, California mansion.

The Duchess of Sussex is in talks with upscale real estate agents to purchase a 9-bedroom mansion in the Cotswolds. Sources say a home with a film studio is one of Meghan’s must-have requirements.
