While Harry made a public appearance at the World Child Awards, sources reveal that behind closed doors, Princess Kate is seething over Harry's recent admission that he had no one to turn to following the tragic loss of his mother, Princess Diana. Catherine feels hurt and betrayed on behalf of her husband, Prince William.
During the preview for his Netflix documentary, "Heart of Invictus," Harry expressed how the lack of support structure left him struggling to cope. The Insider reports that Catherine, who Harry previously referred to as the sister he never had, feels particularly stabbed in the back by Harry's recent claims.
In 2017, Catherine, alongside Prince William and Harry, spoke openly about mental health as part of their Heads Together initiative aimed at encouraging young people to discuss their struggles. At the time, Catherine commended Harry's strength and coping abilities. The source adds that while Catherine is deeply upset, she wasn't entirely surprised by Harry's latest bombshell. Now, she is taking a firm stance and urging William and Charles to speak out.
Kate believes they need to release a joint statement to counter both Meghan and Harry's claims, safeguarding their own reputation, dignity, and mental health. Over the years, William and Kate have tirelessly encouraged Harry to seek help. Meanwhile, Meghan's focus appears to be on building the Sussex brand in the United States, as she was recently seen socializing with Beyoncé's close friend, Kelly Rowland, at a Beyoncé concert.
Although Harry has reached out to his father and brother, it's evident that both William and Charles have been avoiding him. During his visit to London in March, King Charles purportedly claimed to be too busy to meet with his son. The Insider confirms that the royal family is sending a clear message to the estranged couple, and it may only be a matter of weeks before they publicly address the situation.
After years of maintaining dignified silence, William and Kate have already drafted numerous responses that were never released. Palace insiders suggest that breaking the silence could provide them with some relief. While addressing a single grievance and moving on is one thing, Meghan and Harry have continuously made snide remarks since leaving royal life, which has strained the relationship between Kate, William, and the Sussexes.
Kate holds great respect for the monarchy, and she and William are looking toward the future when they will assume the role of king and queen. They don't want their history to be marked by Harry's toxic words and the silence that followed. In July, it was revealed that Kate played a major role in crafting the iconic "Recollections may vary" statement issued after Harry and Meghan's interview with Oprah.
As William and Catherine continue to mourn the loss of the Queen, privately commemorating the first anniversary of her passing, they believe it's time to respectfully pave their own path forward. They are stepping into a new era of royalty and have asked Charles to reconsider the golden rule of "never complain, never explain." Kate wants the family to adhere to the rules and feels it's necessary to take action now and put the heart calls of the Sussexes in their place.
