In a recent development, Peter Phillips, the son of Princess Anne and the Queen’s eldest grandson, has praised Kate Middleton as “remarkable” and highlighted her ability to make a “fantastic team” with Prince William. This statement comes amidst reports of strained relationships within the royal family, particularly between Prince William and Prince Harry.
According to royal expert Tom Quinn, the Sussexes reached out to the Prince and Princess of Wales following Kate’s cancer diagnosis, but the message did not include any suggestion of reconciliation between the brothers. Quinn noted that the response from Prince William was “engineered by the palace” and lacked the warmth expected between siblings.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were reportedly not informed about Kate’s diagnosis in advance due to a lack of trust within the family. Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams suggested that Harry and Meghan’s past actions have caused “endless problems” for the Royal Family, leading to a breakdown in communication.
The strained relationship between the two royal couples has been ongoing since Harry and Meghan announced their decision to step back as senior working royals in 2020. Subsequent revelations made by the Sussexes in interviews and autobiographies have further strained relations with the rest of the family.
Following Kate’s public announcement of her cancer diagnosis, the Sussexes expressed their well wishes for her recovery, emphasizing the importance of privacy and peace for the family during this difficult time.
As the royal family navigates these challenging dynamics, the public continues to watch closely for any signs of reconciliation or further discord within the monarchy. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
