Tensions have resurfaced within the British royal family as reports emerge of a clandestine meeting between Kate Middleton and Prince Harry, raising eyebrows within royal circles.
According to an insider, the Princess of Wales arranged the meeting during Harry’s recent visit to the UK, an action that has reportedly upset her husband, Prince William.
Sources close to the situation disclosed to Closer magazine that Kate has been in contact with a “homesick” Harry for the past few weeks. Her intention, as stated, was to mend the rift between the brothers and understand the challenges Harry is facing since his departure from royal duties.
The insider revealed, “Kate felt it was crucial to reach out during Harry’s time in the UK to discuss their relationship and the issues at hand.”
William’s reaction to Kate’s outreach, however, was far from supportive. “He was initially furious when Kate informed him of their communications, which led to significant tension between the couple,” the source noted.
The brothers have had a strained relationship in recent years, exacerbated by Harry's controversial decisions and remarks following his relocation to the United States.
In August, both William and Harry attended the funeral of their uncle, Sir Robert Fellowes, yet they reportedly did not engage in conversation during the event, a testament to their ongoing estrangement.
Eyewitnesses noted that while the brothers were present, they interacted with the crowd separately, highlighting the distance that has grown between them.
Despite the tension, it appears that William may still hold a glimmer of hope for reconciliation. The insider shared, “[William] knows this could finally be the answer in getting through to his brother and stopping this feud.”
Kate’s determination to facilitate a resolution underscores her desire for family unity, with her “biggest hope” being that her efforts will pave the way for reconnection between the brothers.
