For years, there has been a belief that Princess Kate has the potential to act as a mediator between the feuding Prince William and Prince Harry.
According to a royal expert, the Princess of Wales has reportedly reached a point where she has decided to stop trying to repair relationships and has expressed her frustration with the situation.
After facing health challenges and discontinuing her cancer treatment, it is believed that Kate has reprioritized her life.
“The notion that Kate has the time and energy to continue playing the peacemaker is completely false,” he claimed.
After attempting for several years, she eventually reached a point of frustration and gave up.
Despite her efforts, she was unable to bridge the gap between William, Charles, and Harry.
Princess Kate, the mother of 11-year-old Prince George, nine-year-old Princess Charlotte, and six-year-old Prince Louis, is reportedly prioritizing the preservation of the monarchy’s future.
Harry’s family tension

Ever since Prince Harry decided to step back from his role as a senior working royal, his relationship with his family has been under strain.
The situation has worsened due to his controversial memoir and explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey, where he made unflattering remarks about King Charles and Prince William.
In his account, the Duke of Sussex describes a harrowing incident where he was forcefully grabbed, resulting in his necklace being torn off and him being knocked down. The impact of the fall caused him to land on a dog’s bowl, which unfortunately broke and caused cuts on his back.
In the book, it was mentioned that Harry and Kate had a close sisterly bond initially. However, their relationship took a negative turn when Harry began dating American actress Meghan.
According to his statement, he mentioned that Kate had concerns about the way Meg was organizing her wedding. Specifically, there seemed to be an issue with finding a suitable tailor for the bridesmaids’ dresses, which resulted in some tension between them.
Kate’s new focus
According to royal broadcaster Helena Chard, Kate is currently prioritizing her family and well-being after experiencing a challenging year with her health.
The idea that Kate somehow still has the time and energy to continue playing peacemaker is rubbish. She did try over a period of years and finally threw up her hands in disgustChristopher Andersen
The silent treatment will undoubtedly bother Prince Harry, and the royal family is well aware of this.
According to Kinsey Schofield, host of the To Di For Daily podcast, it is likely that Harry misses Catherine because he tends to see himself as a perpetual victim. However, she emphasizes that he needs to accept the consequences of his choices.
“He must have valued the payment he received from ‘Spare’, but it is a shame that he had to lose a sister-in-law who cherished him as if he were her own younger brother.”
Harry’s UK snubs
Prince Harry has visited the UK a few times in 2024, but his interactions with his UK family have been limited. In late September, he made an appearance at the WellChild Awards in London.
Unfortunately, there were no arrangements made for him to have a meeting with King Charles or Prince William during his visit.
Prince Harry, who resides in a luxurious £12 million mansion in California with his wife Meghan and their children, Prince Archie (5) and Princess Lilibet (3), also chose not to join his family during a visit in May to commemorate the anniversary of the Invictus Games.
Harry last met King Charles in February 2024, after Charles was diagnosed with cancer. According to a source, they discreetly arrived separately at the back. The source mentioned that there was no interaction between them, and they maintained a noticeable distance from each other.
A timeline of Prince Harry’s family feud
According to reports, the initial signs of tension began to emerge when William was introduced to Meghan during her stay at Kensington Palace. Once she returned to Canada, William and Harry had a heartfelt conversation as brothers.
According to reports, he allegedly suggested Harry to proceed with caution, knowing that Harry was already deeply infatuated with her. According to sources, the younger prince didn’t receive the advice well, and it’s been said that he reacted strongly to it.
In June 2019, Harry and Meghan made the official decision to separate from the charity they had previously shared with William and Kate. The Royal Foundation will be divided between the Sussexes and Cambridges as the couples prioritize their individual charitable initiatives.
Prince William and Prince Harry founded the Royal Foundation in 2009, and Kate joined them two years later after their engagement was announced.
They frequently attended events together, and the Foundation achieved significant triumphs through initiatives like the Invictus Games for wounded veterans and the mental health campaign known as Heads Together.
Following a comprehensive review of its structure, the Royal Foundation has announced its decision to part ways with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. However, despite this separation, both couples will continue to collaborate and work together in the future.
Before the birth of baby Archie, Harry and Meg relocated from Kensington Palace estate, where they were living near Kate and Wills, to Frogmore Cottage in Windsor.
The decision only fueled speculations of a growing rift. In his ITV documentary “Harry and Meghan, An African Journey,” Harry subtly indicated that he and his brother had drifted apart.
In 2021, Harry and Meghan shocked the world with their explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey. During the interview, Harry bravely revealed that his father had cut him off financially.
Harry returned to the UK to join William in the unveiling of a statue dedicated to their mother, Princess Diana, at Kensington Palace. However, sources suggest that William hesitated to attend the memorial due to their ongoing rift.
Just before their grandmother, the Queen, passed away in 2022, sources revealed that Kate played the role of a “peacemaker” between the two brothers. In his memoir, Harry revealed that during an argument about Meghan, his brother had allegedly “knocked him to the floor.”
During a heated argument, Harry revealed that William had referred to Meghan as “rude” and “difficult” in Spare. According to Harry, William forcefully grabbed him by the collar, causing his necklace to rip and knocking him down to the floor.
In January of this year, Harry flew in to be by Charles’s side after the monarch received the shocking news of a cancer diagnosis. The next day, Harry flew back to the US, but unfortunately, he didn’t get a chance to see Wills.
During his three-day visit to the UK in May, he did not have the opportunity to meet with King Charles or Prince William.
