Kate Middleton has undeniably become one of the most beloved members of the Royal Family. Royal fans were delighted when the Princess of Wales returned to her duties for the Trooping the Colour in May, even while still recovering from her cancer diagnosis earlier this year.

However, amid these personal challenges, the royal family continues to face significant tension, particularly regarding the relationship between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Kate Middleton's secret fears for Prince Harry

The Sussexes remain a contentious issue within the family. Their revelations about negative experiences in the monarchy have exacerbated tensions, particularly following Harry and Meghan’s accusations against Kate and other royal family members.

It has been a considerable amount of time since Harry and Kate last communicated, and the possibility of reconciliation seems distant.

Recent reports suggest that Harry is missing elements of his former life and is even rethinking his move to the United States. It appears that Kate, while feeling frustrated by Harry’s long-standing estrangement, hopes for a reconciliation between him and Prince William.

However, past comments made by Harry and Meghan during their interview with Oprah Winfrey severely damaged any hope of maintaining a good relationship with the royal family. Harry’s subsequent revelations in his memoir, Spare, further complicated matters.

Harry has only had limited opportunities to interact with Kate since Meghan left the royal family, including attending the funerals of Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth. Although Meghan was present at the latter, it remains unclear whether she and Kate spoke.

After Queen Elizabeth’s passing, the two couples made a public appearance at Windsor Castle in what was intended to project unity, though it reportedly was a challenging experience for Kate, who felt it was one of the most difficult moments she faced due to the ongoing tension.

During Harry and Meghan’s contentious Oprah interview, Kate was mentioned, though not as the main target. In Spare, Harry revealed private text exchanges between Meghan and Kate regarding a disagreement over Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress, noting that Kate “grimaced” when Meghan borrowed her lip gloss. He also pointed out that their differing backgrounds created a significant barrier to their relationship.

Currently, Harry and Meghan lead a lifestyle vastly different from their royal days. Despite criticism from figures like Donald Trump, who has expressed a desire for Harry to leave California, they have managed to find space to reflect on their new life.

Experts suggest that Kate may play a crucial role in mending the rift between Harry and William. Royal historian Christopher Andersen remarked that Kate shared a unique bond with Harry, often seen as the sister he never had.

However, he also noted that Kate’s loyalty to her husband, William, may complicate her efforts to facilitate reconciliation, especially given William’s ongoing concerns about family matters.
