The Princess of Wales played a significant role in her brother-in-law's intimate exploration of his life as a member of the royal family, which was released earlier this year. For years, the three of them, along with Prince William, united to champion causes they held dear. However, a natural distance has emerged since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped away from their royal duties. Author Valentine Low contends that Kate was taken aback by comments made in Prince Harry's memoir but remains steadfast in her commitment not to allow his remarks to impact her personal and royal life.
Low suggests that Kate is a person of considerable grace and initially portrays her almost like a sister to Prince Harry. They were very close, and they got along exceptionally well. However, the picture he paints later in the book is one of someone who appears rather distant and cool towards Meghan. Consequently, it's quite understandable that she might feel hurt by this.
In a conversation with Ted for Daily Creator Kinsey Scoffield, Low noted that the couple has chosen to remain silent regarding the allegations made by Prince Harry. Instead, they have chosen to focus on their work. Low adds, "But she and William have both gone out of their way not to react, and they've definitely told their staff not to go around giving briefings about what they feel about the book and about the Netflix series. I'm sure they're smarting on the inside, but they get on with the job, and I think it's paid off."
Prince Harry had once referred to the Princess of Wales as "the sister I never had and always wanted" and earlier chapters of the memoir had described her as a good match for his brother, emphasizing how they made each other visibly happy. However, his tone changed later in the memoir, echoing earlier interviews he and Meghan Markle gave after leaving the royal family. In those interviews, they characterized Kate as a rather rigid figure.
Discussing a dinner with William and his sister-in-law, Prince Harry remarked on the marked difference in how the two women dressed, suggesting it might have caused discord. While The Duchess warmly welcomed them to their Nottingham Cottage home, Kate was dressed to the nines.
