Kate Middleton reportedly wanted to show her support to Prince Harry but found herself unable to do so due to her husband’s continued estrangement from her younger brother. The Princess of Wales feels “very worried” for the Duke of Sussex, especially after his new UK trip and reunion with King Charles, but his desire to help was hindered by Prince William’s position on the matter.Heatworld reported that a source close to the royal family indicated that Kate was asked not to contact Prince Harry. “Kate can’t help but feel incredibly worried for Harry. She sees a man who is broken and angry, and carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders,” the source told the outlet. “So, of course, a big part of him felt called to come and offer him support. And the fact that he couldn’t offer any words of wisdom was very difficult.“

Kate Middleton’s loyalty to Prince William comes first
According to the publication, Kate’s restraint stems directly from her “loyalty” to her husband, the Prince of Wales. The source explained that William has made his position clear on any attempt by Kate to bridge the gap between the siblings.

“Prince William has made it very clear that under no circumstances will he accept his offering of any kind of olive branch to his brother,” the reporter said. “The Princess of Wales must think of her husband first.”
Prince William’s concerns about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
The source explained the reasoning behind William’s strong stance. The Prince of Wales feels “convinced” that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will exploit any reconciliation move for their own ends. “Furthermore, it would completely undermine his position,” the insider added, suggesting that William is eyeing any olive branch from Kate as potentially damaging to his own authority and position in the family hierarchy.

The situation highlights the unresolved rivalry between the brothers who have fought publicly in the past and have been alone in private for years. Kate remains emotionally concerned about Harry, but her marriage to William prevents her from giving him help, as she is limited by the standards of their marriage. The Princess is torn between her feelings of sympathy for her brother-in-law and her duty to follow her husband’s strong opinion on the subject.
