A royal expert has suggested that, despite Princess Kate being “thrown under the bus” by Prince Harry, she may still hold the key to mending the fractured relationship between the Sussexes and the rest of the royal family.

The tensions between Prince Harry and senior members of the royal family have been evident for years. However, one royal commentator believes Kate could be pivotal in bridging the gap and bringing reconciliation to the divided family.

For years, Kate and Harry shared a close bond, with Harry once describing Kate in his memoir, Spare, as “the sister I’ve never had and always wanted.” Unfortunately, their relationship has grown strained over time. Harry and Meghan’s dramatic decision to step away from royal duties in 2020, coupled with their public criticisms of the monarchy, has deeply impacted their ties with the House of Windsor.

While Harry returned to the UK earlier this year to support King Charles during his cancer diagnosis and attended the coronation, his relationship with Prince William has reportedly remained frosty. The two brothers are still far from resolving their differences.

Yet royal author and journalist Katie Nicholl believes that if anyone can facilitate a reconciliation, it’s Kate. After facing her own health challenges, including a battle with cancer, the Princess of Wales may now have a renewed perspective and be more inclined to encourage peace between William and Harry.

Speaking on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show, Nicholl highlighted how Kate might feel betrayed by Harry, given his hurtful remarks about her and their family in recent years. Nevertheless, her health journey could inspire her to prioritize mending relationships.
