In a recent twist within the royal family, Kate Middleton has reportedly encouraged her husband, Prince William, to mend fences with his estranged brother, Prince Harry. This appeal came amidst their reunion at their uncle’s funeral, highlighting the ongoing family tensions and the hope for reconciliation.
Prince William and Prince Harry have been at odds since the latter stepped back from his royal duties in 2020. Despite attending a few joint events, their interactions have been minimal and strained. Recent reports indicate that there has been no direct communication between the brothers since their rift began.
According to royal insiders, Kate Middleton has taken a proactive role in urging her husband to resolve the discord with Prince Harry. The last time the brothers appeared together was at King Charles’ coronation in May 2023. Prior to Prince Harry’s departure from royal life, he maintained a close relationship with Kate Middleton and often referred to her as a sister.
Royal expert and author Christopher Andersen shared insights with Fox News, noting that Prince Harry always held Kate in high regard. “Kate was close to Harry,” Andersen said. “They shared a unique bond and had a great sense of humor. Harry often said Kate was the sister he never had.”
Andersen also emphasized Kate Middleton’s desire for family harmony: “Kate would love to see the brothers reconcile. It would lift a significant burden off the Royal Family. However, her loyalty remains first with her husband.”
Looking ahead, there are potential opportunities for reconciliation. Reports suggest that Prince William might meet Prince Harry again in 2025, possibly during official events in the USA, such as the Diana Awards and Travalyst. However, this will depend on Prince William’s schedule and commitments.
Prince Harry has been residing in California with his family since 2023, following the royal family’s request for them to vacate Frogmore Cottage. Despite the current distance, hopes remain that the brothers might find common ground and rebuild their relationship in the future.
