Is a truce in sight across the Atlantic? It seems so, as reports suggest that a concerned Prince Harry from Montecito is making efforts to mend relations, driven by worries about Kate Middleton’s health, who, it’s worth noting, is battling cancer.
This revelation comes from Grant Harrold, former butler to King Charles III. Prince Harry is reportedly aiming to reconcile with Prince William and Kate Middleton. According to Harrold, Harry isn’t alone in wanting to improve strained relations; Meghan Markle also seeks to extend an olive branch to the parents of George, Charlotte, and Louis.
Prince Harry Concerned for Kate Middleton
Fans of the British monarchy are eagerly watching this delicate situation unfold. Since the notable Megxit in 2020 and the ensuing media storm, the rift between the Sussexes and the Mountbatten-Windsors has seemed final. Last May, both Charles III and Prince William ignored Prince Harry’s invitation to return to England for the tenth anniversary of his Invictus Games.
Moreover, Harrold, who served within Buckingham Palace, remains certain: things will never be the same. “Harry has caused a lot of damage. I doubt they will ever regain their original relationship. It was rather special and will take time. William is a difficult character,” he recently told the New York Post.
The Royal Family’s Lost Trust
The Sussexes’ various media appearances and the release of Prince Harry’s explosive autobiography in January 2023 have further strained relationships. Royal expert Robert Hardman suggests that reconciliation within the royal family is still distant. “The problem is that, at the moment, there is still a trust issue,” he told The Independent.
Hardman believes Prince Harry’s memoir, “Spare” might have irrevocably damaged the once strong bond between Charles III and Lady Di’s sons. “People are still very hurt, especially Prince William, by the exposure of intimate family moments in Harry’s book,” he noted.
Prince William’s Unforgiving Stance
Hardman added, “I don’t think there’s any chance the brothers will reconcile now or in the near future. There’s too much bad blood. William is not going to forgive this, mainly because he and his wife were attacked personally.”

The Meghan Markle situation also complicates reconciliation efforts. In his book “The House of Beckham: Money, Sex and Power,” released in June, Tom Bower discusses the tense relationship between the two women. Bower claims that Meghan Markle did not accept being ranked behind the Princess of Wales in the royal hierarchy. Additionally, after her successful first royal tour in Australia, Meghan Markle allegedly aspired to become the “new Lady Diana.”
