The rift between the British royals continues to deepen, with Kate Middleton reportedly holding firm in her stance against Meghan Markle. According to insiders, the Duchess of Cambridge feels that Meghan Markle's actions have been a betrayal to the royal family, and she is not inclined to change her mind about the Sussexes anytime soon.
The source of the tension can be traced back to several incidents, most notably the explosive interview Meghan and Prince Harry gave to Oprah Winfrey. The couple's candid revelations about their experiences within the royal family, combined with their docuseries and Prince Harry's book, "Spare," have left lasting scars. Kate's breaking point, however, was said to be during the 2021 interview when Meghan divulged a personal story about the Princess of Wales. An insider described this as "the ultimate betrayal," emphasizing that the wounds inflicted are too profound to heal quickly.
While Kate remains steadfast in her feelings of hurt and betrayal, Prince William, on the other hand, is reportedly keen on mending fences with his younger brother. "William wants to extend an olive branch to Harry," the source shared, noting that the Duke of Cambridge feels a reconciliation is long overdue. This sentiment, however, is not shared by Kate. She believes that the Sussexes have already caused significant damage to the royal family's reputation and fears that letting them back into the fold would only exacerbate the situation.
The tension between the couples reached a boiling point when Prince William expressed his desire to reconcile with Harry. This reportedly led to a significant disagreement between him and Kate. "She'll never forgive Meghan for what she did," the insider stated, highlighting the depth of the rift between the two Duchesses.
In a bid to rebuild their relationship with the Cambridges, the Sussexes have allegedly proposed renting an apartment at Kensington Palace, even offering to furnish it themselves. "He hopes that will please William and show that they're serious about coming back. Harry doesn't want to become a prisoner of the palace," a source claimed.
However, not everyone is convinced that a reconciliation is on the horizon. Sarah Hewson, speaking to Sky News Australia, expressed skepticism about the possibility of the two royal couples mending their relationship. "The damage, the wounds are so deep it's gonna take an awful lot and an awful long time to heal those wounds," Hewson remarked, adding that she sees no evidence of a desire from either side to put an end to the ongoing feud.
As the royal drama continues to unfold, the world watches with bated breath, hoping for a resolution that might bring the once-close siblings and their families back together.
