Before tying the knot with Meghan Markle in 2018, Prince Harry was the third wheel in Prince William and Kate Middleton’s relationship for years. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Duke of Sussex were so tight that they were dubbed “the royal trio.”

Now, one netizen claims that Kate Middleton’s “hottest” pictures were taken with Prince Harry and not Prince William. When a royal fan posted a question on the online forum Quora asking, “What are the hottest pictures of the former Kate Middleton, now Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge?” One posted a series of snaps of the Duchess of Cambridge and the Duke of Sussex together on the comments section.

“These are some of the hottest pictures of her. She looks stunning,” the fan wrote. “They are also the saddest. These days have long gone…”

However, the pictures posted were not what you think. The four snaps showed Kate Middleton and Prince Harry laughing out loud and having a great time together.

Kate Middleton and Prince Harry had a great relationship. The pair always appeared to be very comfortable with each other, with or without the presence of Prince William. For the royal fan, he considered these as “hot” photos. However, he also called these as the “saddest” ones since the Duchess of Cambridge and the Duke of Sussex are rarely photographed together these days.

After Prince Harry got married to Meghan Markle, the dynamic of “the royal trio” changed. In fact, many are claiming that the Cambridges and Sussexes are feuding since Prince William and Prince Harry appeared to be less close than they were before.

Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle have been constantly being compared to each other. Unfortunately for the former actress, the Duchess of Cambridge usually ends up getting all the praise.

One Prince Harry and Meghan Markle fan then claimed that Prince William and Kate Middleton were not doing anything to defend the Duchess of Sussex because all the hate that was thrown at her allegedly made them look good. “The Cambridge fandom honestly makes me sick. The reason Willy and Duchess dolittle haven’t spoken out against the hatred Meghan is facing is because it makes them look better! They seriously thrive on it and you can tell,” they said.

Of course, these are all speculations from fans and are not verified. Until Buckingham Palace confirms any of these claims, they remain as rumors.
