A close friend of the Princess of Wales has disclosed her genuine sentiments towards Prince Harry, indicating that the relationship remains strained. Despite Harry's efforts to mend ties with King Charles, relations with Kate and Prince William appear frosty, with the couple focusing on their family.
The source told The Times that after repeated criticisms from Harry, it is unsurprising that William and Kate prefer to concentrate on raising their children. The friend noted a sense of weary inevitability in William's camp when Harry announced a trip to Canada coinciding with William's official visit to Brazil.
Royal expert Duncan Larcombe commented that Kate's silence on Harry's 41st birthday spoke volumes. He explained that due to royal protocol, the couple cannot speak publicly, so they use subtle signals. Their lack of birthday wishes was a clear message that the ball is in Harry's court.
Kate has been steadily including her children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, in official events to prepare them for future royal duties. Author Katie Nicholl noted that Kate and William's greatest challenge is balancing hands-on parenting with setting the tone for the monarchy's future.
