Kate Middleton is ‘worried sick’ about ‘lost soul’ Prince Harry and wants to make peace, claims insider
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM: Kate Middleton is reportedly on a mission to mend her fractured relationship with Prince Harry, who she believes is “emotionally broken".
Sources close to the Princess of Wales reveal that she is determined to reconcile with the Duke of Sussex despite the tumultuous history between Harry and the royal family, particularly following his move to California with Meghan Markle.
Kate Middleton takes bold stand to reconcile with Prince Harry amid family rift
Kate Middleton, who is currently grappling with a cancer diagnosis, is said to be deeply troubled by Harry’s situation and is urging her husband, Prince William, to join her in making peace.
A royal insider disclosed, "Kate is worried sick about Harry and willing to risk the wrath of her husband and the Firm to do what she believes is the right thing."
"She pushing for forgiveness and worries the royals are being too harsh."
Sources indicated that the 42-year-old mother of three has always had a fondness for Harry, despite the ongoing royal tensions. However, due to her health issues, she has been kept out of the loop regarding the latest developments in the feud.
Palace insiders shared, "Kate has been shielded from the increasing drama with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for quite a while now because people just don't want to stress her out as she deals with her health but she doesn't want to be out of the loop anymore."
Even though the palace has worked to protect Middleton from the ongoing disputes between Harry, William, and King Charles III, it’s reported that she has kept up with the developments while away for cancer treatment. Sources reveal that she is "deeply concerned" about the information she has come across.
"Kate sees Harry as a lost soul," said an insider. "She's still incredibly fond of him and saddened that it's come to this situation where he's completely cut himself off from the whole family and there now seems to be this wall that can't be broken down."
Royal insiders revealed that Kate was taken aback by Harry's distressed appearance in a recent CBS interview, where he and Markle discussed the perils of online bullying. The source noted, "He looked really out of it and unsure of himself and left Meghan to speak for them."
As reported by RadarOnline, Harry's relationship with his family has been strained since the release of his 2021 memoir, 'Spare'. Despite this, Kate is reportedly ready to overlook his past actions and welcome him back into the fold.
The insider shared, "Kate realizes Harry made some poor choices, but he's still a part of this family and needs them now more than ever. It's something she really wants William to try and fix, but he's refusing and is adamant traitor Harry deserves no mercy, that anything they do will just be manipulated by him and Meghan."
Insiders revealed, "In William's view, the best course is to keep quiet, keep away from them and get on with their lives."
However, Kate reportedly disagrees strongly with this mindset.
The source noted, "As far as she's concerned, life's too short for grudges. She's pushing William to give peace a chance with his brother and stop this ugly feud and that's not going down well with him at all."
"If William doesn't get on board and make things right, Kate's determined to make the first move and defy her husband to make peace. Enough is enough."
Why Prince William and Harry have stayed ‘estranged’ for nearly 2 years
Prince William and Prince Harry have been estranged for nearly two years, with their relationship deteriorating significantly, partly due to the fallout from Harry's memoir, 'Spare'. The brothers, once close, have reportedly not communicated since their last interaction during Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in September 2022.
Sources close to William reveal that he prefers Harry not to attend his coronation, underscoring the depth of their rift.
The tensions between the princes have been exacerbated by the revelations in Harry's memoir, 'Spare', which includes severe criticisms of the royal family. One particular source of resentment for William appears to be Harry's comments about Kate Middleton. Friends of William have indicated that he is deeply hurt by the accusations in the book, including those suggesting that Kate was cold towards Meghan Markle.
This animosity has further strained their relationship, making reconciliation seem unlikely in the near future.
Despite Harry and Meghan Markle's efforts to reach out, especially after Kate's cancer diagnosis, there has been little improvement in their relationship. William's focus has primarily been on his immediate family, including his wife and children, rather than on mending ties with Harry.
The outlet reported, "William is unlikely to forgive Harry any time soon for his slights against Kate in 'Spare', among them the suggestion she was cold towards Meghan. Those close to William say his brother rarely comes up in conversation."
The broader tensions within the royal family have also contributed to the estrangement. Since leaving the UK for the US, Harry has been at odds with several members of the royal family, including his father, King Charles. Reports indicate that the last in-person meeting between Harry and Charles occurred hastily in February, following the king's cancer diagnosis.
