Kate Middleton, who has reportedly been hoping to help repair the fractured relationship between Prince William and Prince Harry, has been left deeply upset following a fresh blow from her brother-in-law.
According to royal insiders, the Princess of Wales had been reflecting on the past and was determined to put old grievances behind her, especially in the wake of her recent health struggles.
Kate Middleton and Prince Harry once shared a notably close bond. Their warm interactions in public events painted the picture of a strong friendship within the royal fold. Many royal watchers admired the affection and camaraderie between them when Harry was still an active member of the monarchy. However, the dynamic has shifted dramatically since Harry and Meghan stepped back from royal duties.
Following her battle with cancer, Kate Middleton is said to have had a change of heart regarding the ongoing rift. Sources claim she had been quietly advocating for a peaceful reconciliation. But her hopes were recently dashed after Prince Harry’s two-day legal hearing in the UK, where he made damaging claims regarding his security arrangements.
During the hearing, Prince Harry alleged that his security was downgraded by the royal establishment in an effort to pressure him into remaining within the royal system — a move he called the confirmation of his “worst fears.” These remarks, according to insiders speaking to Heat Magazine, have caused great disappointment, especially for Kate.
“Kate Middleton is particularly devastated,” one royal source revealed. “It stings that Harry has once again pointed fingers at the institution — and by extension, his own family — suggesting they manipulated his situation.”
Harry’s frustration with the court process was evident, and he later claimed that the public would be “shocked” if they knew what was being concealed during the private hearings.
As the royal family braces for the verdict in Harry’s legal battle with the UK Home Office, Kate Middleton reportedly feels disheartened, realizing that the path to reconciliation may be far more difficult than she had hoped.
