It is believed that Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, traveled to London earlier this month with the best intentions in mind.
The California residents wanted to be present for Queen Elizabeth II, who was celebrating her 70th year on the throne, also known as the Platinum Jubilee.
Prince Harry and his spouse were also elated for the Monarch to meet their baby girl, Lilibet, and bond with their son, Archie.
However, one of the former soldier’s and the activist’s main goals was to make amends with Prince William and Kate Middleton.
That plan failed — the heir to the throne and Middleton did not publicly acknowledge or speak to Markle and Prince Harry during the Service of Thanksgiving at St. Paul’s Cathedral or while on the Buckingham Palace balcony to watch the Trooping The Colour.
Prince William and his family also declined his niece’s birthday party invitation.
Days after, the power couple jetted back to their mansion in Montecito — Prince William celebrated a major milestone, he turned 40.
A source revealed to Us Weekly that Middleton still hopes the relationship between Prince Charles‘s sons can be repaired.
The Duchess of Cambridge, who felt that Prince William was missing his brother during such an important day, decided to take action.
The royal source stated: “There’s a small glimpse of hope of saving the brothers from never speaking again: Kate. She can sense that despite everything that has happened, William still feels the loss of Harry.”
The insider revealed that Kate Middleton had a few words with Prince Harry and Prince William to make them understand that they needed to work things out.
In a private telephone call with Prince Harry, his sister-in-law told him it was the best time to reach out to Prince William.
The person claimed: “[She] had a quiet word with the boys separately, even going as far as calling Harry in Montecito and suggesting that he reach out to William on his birthday. The issue is William and Harry are both overly stubborn, so there’s not much hope.”
However, it seems that all of Kate Middleton’s efforts, suggestions, and words of wisdom were in vain.
The source concluded by: “Kate, for her part, is frantically trying to play peacemaker, but so far her efforts have proved unsuccessful.”
Before Prince William celebrated his 40th birthday, he gave many of his close friends the permission to sit down with Rebecca English for a thoughtful piece in The Daily Mail.
Those friends revealed where the relationship between Prince Harry and Prince William stands today by saying things are not looking good and added: “He alternates between grieving for what he has lost and feeling really, really angry about what his brother has done. He truly loves Harry and feels he has lost the only person, aside from his wife, who understood this strange life of theirs. But he believes there are things you just don’t do. And Harry has 100 percent crossed that line.”
Another close pal shared: “William is absolutely allergic to drama, but Harry has ensured that the family laundry is being aired on a global scale. I think they will find themselves in a better position in the future, but not now. And too much water has gone under the bridge for things to ever go back to the way they were. Truthfully, William thinks Harry has been sucked into an alien world, and there’s f*** all he can do about it. But he does want Harry to be happy, and if he stops throwing dust in their faces, then maybe he will find a way to forgive and forget.”
The Duke of Cambridge and his younger brother have been at odds since he and his wife, Meghan Markle, stepped down from their royal duties in early 2020 and later took part in a series of scandalous interviews that rocked the royal family.
