Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have reportedly found unexpected support from a senior member of the Royal Family as tensions continue to simmer. According to In Touch Weekly, the couple’s newfound ally is none other than Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales.
Kate has stepped in as a pivotal figure for the Sussexes, particularly after she recently revealed that she had completed preventative chemotherapy. Her bond with Harry seems to have strengthened after she extended an olive branch to him on his 40th birthday. As per reports, the gesture was meaningful for Harry, who has been estranged from much of the Royal Family since stepping back from royal duties.
The Princess of Wales is said to have played a significant role in encouraging the Royal Family, including her husband Prince William, to publicly acknowledge Harry’s milestone birthday. The insider shared, “It meant the world to [Harry] that the royals, as well as the Waleses, sent this olive branch on social media, and Kate made a point to call him and send a thoughtful gift his way as well.”
Despite Kate’s efforts to mend fences, Prince William’s stance toward his brother remains cautious. The insider revealed, “William’s stance has not changed: He loves his brother and always will, but it’s too early for him to sit down for any type of dialogue with his brother.”
While tensions between the brothers continue, Kate is determined to bridge the gap between them. The source said Kate “aims to change this over time,” suggesting that the Princess of Wales is committed to fostering reconciliation between Harry and the Royal Family.
Kate’s involvement adds a new dimension to the complicated relationship between Harry, Meghan, and the rest of the Royals. Her gesture of goodwill, especially during such a strained time, signals her desire to bring peace to the family, even though a full reconciliation may still be far off. With Kate’s continued support, it remains to be seen if she can help heal the rift that has divided the family for so long.
