BREAKING : “Tensions and rifts: Prince Harry and Kate Middleton’s relationship strained by conflict and betrayal…more details
Prince Harry once had a very close bond with his sister-in-law Princess Kate – but their relationship has been left in tatters following the Sussexes’ criticisms of the future Queen
Prince Harry and Kate Middleton once shared a close bond. Harry often spent time with his brother William and Kate, forging a heartfelt connection with the future Queen, even describing her as “the sister I’ve never had and always wanted.”
However, their relationship took a dramatic turn following the release of Harry’s candid memoir Spare, which deeply strained their once-strong connection. In the book, Harry made several pointed accusations against the Royal Family — and Kate was not exempt
He partly blamed both William and Kate for encouraging him to wear a Nazi costume to a party; suggested that Kate felt “on edge” due to inevitable comparisons with Meghan, and claimed a disagreement over bridesmaids’ dresses left Meghan “sobbing on the floor.”
The revelations reportedly hurt William and Kate deeply and Harry faced criticism for airing his grievances so publicly, particularly knowing the Royal Family’s tradition of not responding.
In his retelling of the infamous disagreement over Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress, Harry seemed to suggest that Kate was unwilling to compromise, despite Meghan’s obvious distress. An insider said that the memoir “paints Kate as rigid and overly formal, contrasting Meghan’s laid-back Californian approach”.
However, many were quick to stand by Princess Kate. Royal photographer Arthur Edwards was among those to speak out. “Harry has publicly targeted his sister-in-law in a way that’s not just damaging to her but to the entire family dynamic,” he said.
