Kate Middleton’s brutal realisation in Prince Harry feud after ‘being thrown under bus’

A royal expert has claimed that despite Princess Kate being ‘thrown under the bus’ by Prince Harry, the future Queen may still be the key to healing the feud between the Sussexes and the other royals

It’s no secret that the relationship between Prince Harry and some of the other senior royals has been pretty cold in recent years – but Kate may be the key to healing the ongoing feud, a royal expert has claimed.

For many years, Kate and her brother-in-law Prince Harry clearly enjoyed a really close relationship – and in his memoir, Spare, Harry opened up about just how much Kate meant to him, calling her the “sister I’ve never had and always wanted”.

However, in recent years things between them have simply not been the same. Harry and Meghan’s shock royal exit in 2020, and the couple’s subsequent candid revelations about life inside the monarchy – and allegations against some of the other senior royals – have left their relationships with much of the House of Windsor seemingly in tatters.

While Harry rushed back to the UK upon King Charles’s cancer diagnosis early in the year – and came back to attend his father’s coronation – things with his elder brother William are reported to have remained icy, with the two brothers still far from reconciling.

However, one royal expert believes that if anyone can bring Harry back into the royal fold it is Kate, and that after a year of difficult health challenges, the future Queen may well be more inclined to try and encourage peace between William and his brother.

Speaking on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show, royal author and journalist Katie Nicholls explained that despite the fact Kate herself may feel somewhat betrayed by her once-close brother-in-law, the new perspective she has gained during her cancer treatment may lead her to encourage a still-angry William towards reconciliation.

“Kate’s been thrown under the bus by Harry, he’s said hurtful things about her, he’s brought the children into the narrative. I think the Prince of Wales remains very, very angry and upset and feels very betrayed,” the expert said, adding that the timing of any future peacemaking would be crucial.

“Possibly the Princess of Wales is still open to a reconciliation in some form. I still feel it’s quite early. But I do think when you go through something like a cancer diagnosis and you go through the sort of journey that she has done, and you confront your own mortality, you realise life is short.

“It’s far too short for rifts and family feuds. And perhaps that will be a role that she will play at some point in healing that rift, because I think we look to the Royal Family as a symbol of unity. We will want to see them together at Christmas, this will be the sixth Christmas that Harry won’t have been a part of.

The royal author also noted that Kate understands part of her duties as the future Queen is to model behaviour for the public and set a good example.

When Kate announced that she had begun a course of chemotherapy in an emotional video message to the nation, and appealed for privacy for herself and her children during the challenging time. Harry and Meghan were quick to back her publicly – and also reportedly reached out to Kate in private.

“We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace,” Harry and Meghan said in a statement shortly after the announcement. Kate completed her chemotherapy in September and has been gently dipping her toes back into royal duties since, appearing at the Cenotaph for Remembrance Sunday, and hosting her annual Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey.

However, she noted at the time that her main focus is to “stay cancer-free” so will “continue to take each day as it comes”. In the unusually candid video message that marked the end of her treatment, Kate noted that the “scary and unpredictable” cancer journey had provided her a “new perspective on everything” and reminded her and her husband to focus on the “simple yet important things in life”.
