Kate Middleton, Prince William Stand Firm as Royal Rift Widens with Prince Harry

The rift between Prince Harry and the royal family, including his father King Charles and brother Prince William, remains painful and unresolved, with Meghan Markle standing firmly by Harry's side. Royal experts note that Prince William is deeply hurt not only by Harry's public criticisms but especially by how Harry has treated his wife, Kate Middleton, who once shared a close bond with Harry and tried to act as a peacemaker. Kate has reportedly been deeply saddened by the fallout and the negative public narrative but has no intention of reaching out to Harry, instead choosing to support William through the ongoing family tensions. The divide has led to a lack of trust and communication, with both William and King Charles not responding to Harry’s attempts at contact. Meghan reportedly wishes Harry could be less burdened by past grievances, but Harry's vocal criticisms continue to damage chances of reconciliation. The royal family perceives Meghan as a catalyst in the rift, while Harry’s public actions and memoir have further entrenched the divide.
