The relationship between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and the rest of the royal family has been strained since their departure from royal duties. However, when news broke about Kate Middleton’s surgery, the couple reached out to her. But an expert has issued a crucial warning to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, urging them to be cautious about speaking publicly about Kate Middleton.
The Feud Between Kate and Meghan
Even before Harry and Meghan’s wedding, there was tension between Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle. In the Oprah interview, Meghan claimed that Kate made her cry on her wedding day, which contradicted earlier claims made by British tabloids. These revelations and claims by Harry and Meghan did nothing to improve the relationship between the two women.
Kate’s Absence during Queen’s Illness
When news of Queen Elizabeth’s declining health reached the public, Kate Middleton stayed away from the rest of the senior royals during their visit to Balmoral. According to royal expert Robert Jobson, Prince Charles asked both Harry and William not to bring their wives along. This decision caused resentment from Kate towards Meghan, as she desperately wanted to be there with the queen during her last moments.
A Challenging Joint Walkabout
After Queen Elizabeth’s death, Harry, Meghan, William, and Kate appeared together during a public outing at Windsor. This joint walkabout was meant to show a united front, but author Robert Jobson revealed that for Kate, it was one of the hardest things she had ever had to do. The ill-feeling between the two couples made the display of unity seem like an illusion.
Harry’s Meeting with King Charles
When news of Kate Middleton’s surgery broke, Harry flew in from the US to be by his father’s side during his cancer treatment. The meeting between Harry and Charles reportedly left Camilla outraged. She was unhappy with Harry’s attitude and criticized his use of his father’s illness as a PR stunt. Camilla made it clear that Harry was not wanted back.
Meghan’s Attempts at Reconciliation
Despite their strained relationship with Kate Middleton, both Harry and Meghan sent their best wishes to her and King Charles after the surgery. Meghan even reached out to Kate privately, hoping to take the first step towards reconciliation. Meghan has been supportive of Harry’s attempts to reconcile with his family and wishes the royals, including Kate, the best.
The Risk of Speaking Publicly about Kate
Harry and Meghan have been open about their experiences within the royal family, which has attracted both criticism and support. However, PR expert Ryan McCormick warns against speaking publicly about Kate Middleton, especially before her return to royal duties. Any public comments about Kate could lead to speculation and further strain their relationship with the royal family.
Kensington Palace’s Lack of Updates
Since Kate Middleton’s surgery, Kensington Palace has provided few updates on her recovery. While many royal fans are eager for more information, the palace has made it clear that they will only share significant updates when necessary. This lack of updates has led to speculation and demands for more transparency.
In conclusion, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been urged to be careful about speaking publicly about Kate Middleton. The strained relationship between the Sussexes and the royal family can further deteriorate if they do not heed this warning. Let’s hope that reconciliation becomes possible in the future.
