Ever since Prince William and Prince Harry stared having “rift” after the Duke’s wedding with Meghan Markle, Kate Middleton has made numerous attempts to solve the matter.
However, all her efforts turned out to be futile as the Princess of Wales got insulted by the Sussexs.
As per OK!, a former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond reflected on the efforts made by Kate to solve the royal “rift.”
Prince Kate reportedly used Prince Philip’s funeral, which took place on September 19, 2022, as a mean to mend ties with the couple.
She said, "When you come from a happy, united family – as Catherine does – it's incredibly hard to understand how people can become estranged. I think she believed the rift could be fixed and, after Prince Philip’s funeral, we saw her talking with Harry.”
“And obviously encouraging William to do the same. But we now know that it didn’t work. In fact, William and Harry had a blazing row right after the funeral. There comes a point when you just have to accept that happy families are not a game that everyone can play,” the royal expert noted.
Jennie also revealed that Kate has been “hurt and insulted” by things that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have said.
She added, “She and William are a very strong team, and I suspect that, together, they’ve come to the conclusion that the rift with Harry cannot be fixed in the foreseeable future. They’ve closed their minds to that possibility and decided to get on with their lives."
The latest efforts made by the royal couple towards Harry was on his 40th birthday, on September 15, 2024.
William and Kate wished the Spare author along with King Charles.
