Before the well-publicized royal family feud, Prince Harry shared a close and supportive relationship with his sister-in-law, Princess Kate. The trio of Prince Harry, Prince William, and Kate Middleton were frequently seen together, embodying a united front. However, the growing tension within the royal family has notably strained Harry’s connection with William and Kate. Despite this, a recent report suggests that Princess Kate hasn’t forgotten the deep bond she once shared with Harry.

According to Closer (via GB News), a royal expert claims that Kate “can’t simply forget” the “kindness” Prince Harry has shown her over the years. The Duke of Sussex was reportedly a pillar of support for Princess Kate, often offering comfort and assistance during challenging times. “Harry used to help Kate when she was feeling down,” the source revealed, highlighting the strong friendship they once enjoyed.

The source further explained that Kate’s compassionate nature has only deepened during her recent health struggles. “Kate has never been someone who could just turn off her feelings with a switch, and going through cancer has only made her more sensitive and caring,” the insider noted.

Despite the apparent fallout between Prince Harry and many members of the royal family, Princess Kate has not entirely given up on him. The source emphasized the special bond they once shared, describing Harry as “very much a brother figure in the true sense of the word.” This close connection was evident from the early days of Kate’s relationship with Prince William, as Harry reportedly went out of his way to make her feel welcome within the royal family.

“Back when she first started dating William, it was Harry who went the most out of his way to make her feel welcome in the family and put her at ease,” the source claimed. Kate, according to the insider, has not forgotten these acts of kindness despite the ongoing rift.

The source also suggested that Kate holds no ill will towards Prince Harry or his wife, Meghan Markle. In fact, the Princess of Wales is said to understand Harry’s loyalty to Meghan. “[S]he doesn’t blame him for taking his wife’s side because she would expect William to do exactly the same thing if the roles were reversed,” the source alleged.

Looking to the future, the insider hinted at Kate’s potential role in mending the fractured relationships within the royal family. “There’s a feeling that if anyone will be able to put this right, it’s Kate,” the source concluded.

As the royal family continues to navigate these challenging times, Princess Kate’s enduring empathy and her unwavering bond with Prince Harry could play a pivotal role in healing the wounds that have divided them.
