Royal expert Sarah Hewson has revealed that Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle were not the reason for the widely reported rift between Prince William and Prince Harry. Hewson's insights contradict the common narrative that the tension stemmed from a clash between the two royal wives.
Speaking to The Sun, Hewson explained that the issues between William and Harry predated Meghan's arrival. According to Hewson, the perception was that the problem was between Meghan and Catherine, and that they did not get on, and that was where the problems came from. However, Prince Harry's accounts in his Netflix series, memoir "Spare," and various interviews indicate that the issues between the two brothers existed long before Meghan entered the picture. Hewson suggests Meghan might have acted as a catalyst, prompting Harry to take a definitive step.
The ভাই brothers, once inseparable, have reportedly experienced a strained relationship in recent years. While Meghan Markle has often been cited as a major factor, Hewson's analysis suggests the roots of the discord run deeper.
Another royal expert, Katie Nicholl, told The Sun that Prince William had given his brother advice about his marriage to Meghan Markle. Nicholl says that William urged Harry to take his time because they were engaged. She adds that William had taken many years before he proposed to Kate Middleton because he wanted her to be his wife and to be able to know that this was what she wanted for her life too. Nicholl concludes that what was meant to be well-intended brotherly advice landed really badly with Harry, and that it was the start of the real unraveling of their relationship.
The exact nature of the rift remains a subject of speculation, but the move of Harry and Meghan to the United States and their subsequent interviews have reportedly intensified the situation. Claims of racism within the royal family and accusations against Prince William have further strained relations.
Amidst the reported feud, there have been varying perspectives on the possibility of reconciliation. Some experts believe the divide is irreparable, while others suggest that Kate Middleton is trying to encourage peace and forgiveness between the brothers. Despite the differing opinions, Prince William is reportedly still upset with his brother.
Royal experts claim that Princess Catherine was happy when Prince Harry met Meghan. She was thrilled that Prince Harry seemed genuinely happy, and that the three musketeers became the 'Fab Four'. Royal experts have also said William and Harry are not on speaking terms. Sources close to Harry previously told People magazine that King Charles III, their father, won't respond to Harry's phone calls or letters.
