In a bid to mend the strained ties within the British Royal Family, Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, has reportedly reached out to Prince Harry, her brother-in-law. This move comes amidst the ongoing feud between Prince Harry and his elder brother, Prince William.
According to sources close to the Royal Family, Kate has been in touch with Harry, offering words of comfort and encouragement, especially in light of his recent challenges in Hollywood. The Duchess expressed her sympathy, noting how challenging it must be for Harry to face these setbacks, particularly with his court trial taking place near their residence.
Before the infamous "Megxit" scandal, Prince Harry often spoke fondly of his sister-in-law. However, his decision to move to the U.S. and the subsequent events have strained their relationship. Despite the rift with Prince William, Kate has continued to communicate with Harry, emphasizing the importance of family ties.
One insider revealed, "Kate wants to keep those lines of communication open and pave the way for long-term peace with the whole family - William included - down the line." This sentiment, however, is not universally shared within the royal circles. The tension between Prince Harry, his father, King Charles, and Prince William is palpable, with William reportedly not ready for any reconciliation talks.
Contrary to this, another source suggested that Prince William is keen on extending an olive branch to his younger brother. This source stated, "William wants to extend an olive branch to Harry. It's a shocking about-face, but he feels it's long overdue."
However, the Duchess's stance seems more rigid, especially when it comes to Meghan Markle, Prince Harry's wife. The source added, "She feels that Harry and especially Meghan have done enough damage to the royal family, and will do even more damage if they're let back in." This sentiment was further echoed by another insider who mentioned, "Kate has drawn a hard line in the sand - she's not changing her mind about them."
The Royal Observer had previously reported that while Prince William is keen on mending ties, Kate is not ready to forgive the Sussexes, especially Meghan. The Duchess reportedly believes that Meghan and Harry have never apologized for their perceived missteps.
The situation remains complex, with the Royal Family's internal dynamics under constant scrutiny. As the world watches, it remains to be seen how these relationships will evolve and whether the bonds of family can overcome the challenges of public life and personal differences.
