Prince Harry and Prince William shared a very close relationship since their childhood years. Hence, it comes as no surprise that the younger prince is also close to his sister-in-law, Kate Middleton. According to reports, the Duke of Sussex always used to spend a lot of time with his brother and Kate. Even during their university days, it seemed that they are all inseparable.
However, recent claims shocked many royal fans and followers when this "closeness" between Prince Harry and Kate Middleton turned into a "juvenile behavior," mostly on the young prince's part. As it happens, Daily Star's sources attested that Meghan Markle's now-husband, Prince Harry, "pinched" Kate Middleton's "bottom" during a traditional ceremony.
Many publications ran a similar story. According to these reports, this happened during the Trooping the Color in 2011. As Kate Middleton bends over to talk to the young royals in front of her, Prince Harry, who was standing on her back "playfully" pinched her.
This act surprised the Duchess leaving her in "astonishment," as explained by the said sources. Even so, she tried to "keep a straight face."
According to Express UK, Kate Middleton was able to keep her cool. However, the rest of the royal family couldn't, including Prince William. Surprisingly, they all laughed with what happened, which left Prince Harry in total embarrassment.
The sources further contended that Prince William was fine with it since he knows his brother well. So, this also ended with the Kate Middleton laughing.
The whole story presented by the publications also came with a series of photos. It didn't come with the exact act, though, still, the photos showed the royal family laughing behind Kate Middleton.
Some fans believed that the whole thing happened during the ceremony. However, no word or statement was given to confirm the allegations. Hence, no one learned if the story is true.
Prince Harry and Kate Middleton shared a close sister-brother relationship. This has been widely reported even before the duchess became an official part of the British Royal family.
In 2010, the young prince's statement upon learning about his brother's engagement to Kate Middleton was "heartfelt." Based on assertions, Prince Harry shared that he's "delighted" when Prince William finally "popped the question." This is because Kate will finally become the sister that he "always wanted."
This dynamic remained to be true even after the wedding as the trio would always appear together during events and gatherings. But, in light of recent events, especially after the infamous ITV documentary, things might just change among Kate Middleton, Prince William, and Prince Harry.
