Prince Harry ‘misses’ ailing Kate Middleton but can't mend ties as Meghan Markle insists she is owed an apology, claims expert

LONDON, UK: Prince Harry and Kate Middleton were once quite close to each other but things reportedly began to worsen when Harry decided to marry Meghan Markle and they eventually separated from the royal family.

However, now the Duke of Sussex reportedly regrets the distance.

Harry used to share ‘uncomplicated relationship’ with Kate

Royal author Tom Quinn told The Mirror, “He really misses that warm, uncomplicated relationship, and he is torn between loyalty to his wife and regret about the loss of the woman he was so close to.”

“Losing Kate was Harry's second great loss after losing his mother,” he asserted.

Meghan Markle wants Kate Middleton to ‘apologize’ to her

The expert also mentioned that Meghan does not feel the same way as her husband.

He explained, “Megan doesn't feel guilty about Kate, because she feels that Kate should’ve been the one person in the Royal Family to back her against every difficulty.”

Quinn continued, “Apart from anything else, Meghan knew Kate was an outsider, so she just couldn't understand why Kate always towed the Royal line rather than supporting her, Meghan, the other outsider.”

The author shared that though the Duchess of Sussex has been shocked by Kate’s cancer, “she can see no way to patch up the relationship simply because it has become so poisonous.”

“She also doesn't want people saying that she is trying to make things up with Kate just because Kate is ill. Meghan still feels Kate was in the wrong and should apologize before they try to build bridges,” Quinn added.

Kate Middelton's shocking health update

This came after in March, Kate released a video statement on Instagram, letting people know about her health.

She said, “It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family. In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London. At the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous.”

The mother-of-three further mentioned, “The surgery was successful, however, tests after the operation found cancer had been present."

“My medical team therefore advised I should undergo preventive chemotherapy, and I am now in the early stages of that treatment. This of course comes as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this for our young family.”

“Having William by my side is a great source of comfort, and the love and support and kindness that has been shown from so many of you. As a family, we need some time, space, and privacy while I complete my treatment,” she added.
