The royal family's internal tensions have taken a new turn with Prince Harry's deep-seated grievances against his sister-in-law, Kate Middleton. In his latest salvo, Harry seems to harbor significant resentment towards Kate for what he perceives as her cold treatment of his wife, Meghan Markle.
According to sources close to the royal family, the rift between Harry and Kate has its roots in Kate's alleged lack of warmth towards Meghan. This sentiment was echoed in the couple's Netflix docuseries, "Harry & Meghan," which painted a picture of rigidity and aloofness from William and Kate. Meghan's own recollections of her initial interactions with the royal couple, characterized by her casual and open demeanor, contrast starkly with the formal royal protocol.
Adding fuel to the fire is Omid Scobie's upcoming book, "Endgame," which delves into the so-called "Megxit" while levying criticism against Kate and the broader royal family. Insiders suggest Harry may have covertly cooperated with Scobie, seeking what some describe as "revenge" for the perceived slights against Meghan.
In the backdrop of these escalating tensions, holiday reunions seem unlikely. The source paints a picture of a divided family, with Kate drawing a clear line in the sand. Despite Prince William's apparent willingness to mend fences, Kate's stance remains firm, unwilling to forgive or forget the couple's public disclosures and accusations.
Prince Harry's memoir "Spare" added further strain to the already tense relationships. The book's revelations and Harry's candid interviews have left Kate feeling hurt and insulted, effectively severing what once seemed a close bond between the two.
The source also notes that while William may desire a reconciliation with his brother, the communication between them has ceased for the time being, indicating deep-rooted issues that go beyond mere sibling rivalry.
As the saga unfolds, the royal family continues to grapple with the public and private implications of these rifts. With both sides seemingly entrenched in their positions, the prospects for a harmonious resolution appear increasingly distant.
