In the intricate web of royal relationships, the bond between Prince Harry and his sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, has always been a subject of intrigue. Recent reports have added another layer to this narrative, suggesting that the Duchess of Cambridge has been reaching out to Harry during his challenging times. However, as with many tales from the royal corridors, discerning fact from fiction is essential.
A recent article from Closer magazine claimed that Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, has been making "late-night calls" to Prince Harry to offer support amidst his recent setbacks, including the failure to bring his phone hacking case to court. The magazine went on to suggest that despite the rift between Prince Harry and the royal family, his bond with Kate remains unbroken. The Duchess's alleged outreach was described as a gesture to remind Harry to stay resilient during trying times.
However, Kinsey Schofield, the founder of the "To Di for Daily" podcast, has refuted these claims. Schofield, in conversation with Fox News Digital, emphasized that her contacts at Kensington Palace confirmed that "this story has no truth to it." She further elaborated that Kate Middleton is highly respectful of Prince William's sentiments and would not act behind his back.
The narrative around Kate and Harry's relationship took a dramatic turn when the Sussexes clarified in their Oprah interview and Harry's memoir, "Spare," that it was Kate who had upset Meghan Markle in the lead-up to the Sussexes' wedding in 2018. Despite this revelation, Harry's memoir also highlighted his fond memories of Kate, describing her as the sister he never had and always wanted.
Schofield dismissed the idea of Kate making late-night calls as "quite silly." She also highlighted that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are not privy to regular updates on the Sussexes and are more focused on their goals for 2023, choosing to distance themselves from the drama surrounding Harry and Meghan.
Royal author Christopher Andersen weighed in on the matter, stating that Kate has relinquished any attempts to mediate between the feuding brothers. He emphasized that Kate's cautious nature, which has been instrumental in her journey within the royal family, would prevent her from making such calls.
The last known public reunion of Prince Harry with his family was during King Charles III's coronation on May 6. Whether any reconciliation attempts were made behind the scenes remains a mystery.
In the ever-evolving narrative of the British royal family, it's crucial to approach such stories with a discerning eye, understanding that the truth often lies somewhere in between the lines of sensational headlines.
