Prince William and Prince Harry had a really close bond, and royal fans enjoy witnessing their brotherly love. So when Kate Middleton came into the picture, many were concerned that the royal brothers would be less close. Fortunately, that didn’t happen. Kate seamlessly joined the bond, and they quickly became “The Royal Trio.”
Prince Harry became the constant third wheel of Prince William and Kate Middleton during formal and informal events.. But since the three royals were extremely close, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge always enjoyed having the younger prince around.
In a throwback interview, Prince Harry shared his honest opinion about Kate Middleton joining the Royal Family. “I’ve always wanted a sister and now I’ve got one. I’ve known Kate for years, and it’s fantastic that she is becoming part of the family,” he said.
Prince Harry also hinted in 2018 how much he respects his sister-in-law by asking for her approval before marrying Meghan Markle. He wanted Kate Middleton to meet the former actress, so she would know her before they tie the knot.
Unfortunately, things changed when Prince Harry finally married Meghan Markle. The rift between the couples quickly circulated when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex removed themselves from the joint foundation with the Cambridges.
Last month, Prince Harry announced that he will merge his Endeavour Fund charity, which was held under The Royal Foundation ran by Prince William and Kate Middleton, with his Invictus Games event.
The Endeavour Fund was first established by Prince Harry in 2012. At the time, he, Prince William, and Kate Middleton were patrons of The Royal Foundation. With the announcement of the merge, this means that the Duke of Sussex is now cutting further ties with his brother and sister-in-law.
As expected, fans who love the relationship between Prince William and Prince Harry needed to blame someone for the fallout. Since the rift started when Meghan Markle joined the royal family, she was the easiest target.
A lot of royal fans believe that Meghan Markle should exert some effort into fitting in with the royal family and not the other way around. Some thought that the reason why the Duchess of Sussex is having a hard time building a relationship with the other members of the royal family is that she didn’t have a relationship with her own family.
