Once, Prince Harry and Kate Middleton were close friends, and together with Prince William, they were considered the main hope of the British monarchy. However, years of family conflicts and loud public statements have led the Princess of Wales, who long tried to reconcile the brothers, to finally abandon this role.
Before Meghan Markle's arrival, the relationship between Prince Harry and Kate Middleton was truly warm. Together with Prince William, they formed the famous royal trio that many called the future of the British monarchy.
Even after the relationship between the brothers began to rapidly deteriorate, Kate continued to act as an unofficial peacemaker. According to royal experts, she repeatedly tried to facilitate dialogue between William and Harry and hoped that one day the family could reunite.
However, as royal biographer Christopher Andersen claims, one phrase from Prince Harry completely destroyed the remnants of trust between him and the Princess of Wales.
This refers to the Duke of Sussex's interview with the BBC, in which he discussed the health of his father — King Charles III, who is undergoing treatment for cancer.
According to Andersen, Kate was particularly hurt by Harry's words that he did not know how much time was left for his father. The biographer asserts that these statements were deemed extremely inappropriate and demoralizing by the princess.
The situation was exacerbated by the fact that the interview came at a difficult time for Kate herself. During this period, she was undergoing treatment after being diagnosed with cancer and was simultaneously trying to shield her children from increased public and media attention.
After many years of trying to maintain peace within the family, this interview became the last straw for her.
According to sources close to the royal family, after the interview aired, Kate Middleton ceased her attempts to act as a mediator between the brothers and decided to no longer interfere in their conflict.
Today, the relationship between Prince Harry and the royal family remains strained, and the prospects for reconciliation appear more uncertain than ever.
Despite Kate Middleton's years of efforts to preserve family unity, the conflict between Princes William and Harry continues to deepen. If royal biographers are to be believed, it is the Duke of Sussex's recent public statements that have put an end to the Princess of Wales's hopes for family reconciliation.
