The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are set to miss yet another year of Christmas festivities in the UK amid an ongoing rift within the royal family. But as an year fraught with hardship comes to an end, royal insiders suggest that Kate Middleton has ‘gone to war’ with her husband in order to overturn the feud.
According to a Radar report, the Princess of Wales is currently at loggerheads with her husband over the Meghan-Harry situation. Prince William reportedly remains “very angry” at his younger brother — leaving it up to Middleton to turn things around.
“Kate has been thrown under the bus by Harry. He's said hurtful things about her…he's brought the children into the narrative. I think the Prince of Wales remains very, very angry and upset and feels very betrayed,” royal correspondent Katie Nicholl told RadarOnline.com.
The Princess has made a gradual return to her royal duties in recent weeks after combating cancer for much of the year. Nicholl opined that the turbulent experience may have played a role in ensuring that she was “still open to a reconciliation in some form”.
“I still feel it's quite early…But I do think when you go through something like a cancer diagnosis and you go through the sort of journey that she has done, and you confront your own mortality, you realize life is short. It's far too short for rifts and family feuds. And perhaps that will be a role that she will play at some point in healing that rift…” she added.
The Princess took another step towards her public duties on Friday while hosting her annual Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey. She is also scheduled to participate in a series of Christmas events over the next few weeks. Meanwhile Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are scheduled to remain in the US for the holiday season — reportedly failing to secure an invite to the upcoming royal festivities.
