Kate Middleton was ‘bridge’ between Harry and William before feud – Celebrity News – Entertainment

Although Prince William and Prince Harry have been feuding for several years now, the siblings didn’t always share such a troubled relationship.

Indeed, before their falling out, it wasn’t only William and Harry who were remarkably close; Harry and his sister-in-law Kate Middleton also shared an extraordinary connection.

Now, former royal butler Grant Harrold has revealed his own insights into just how tight-knit the pair were before Harry grew estranged from his family after marrying Meghan Markle.

In his book, The Royal Butler: My Remarkable Life of Royal Service, Grant offered his behind-the-scenes perspective on what Harry and Kate’s friendship looked like before his bond with brother William deteriorated.

He revealed, “They involved him. He used to go out with Kate. William would be away, and Kate and Harry would be off doing stuff together.”

In her 2017 book Harry: Life, Loss, and Love, royal expert and biographer Katie Nicholl detailed the emotional impact of Harry’s speech.

She penned, “It was affectionate, warm and funny and touched William deeply. When he said the couple’s decade-long romance was his inspiration, there was a shy smile from Chelsy, while Kate shed a tear.”

Despite the ongoing tensions between Harry and his family, reports suggest that he has managed to maintain a connection with Kate due to their past close relationship.

In 2021, an insider at the palace claimed that Harry had texted Kate to inform her and the rest of the family about the birth of his daughter, Lilibet, with wife Meghan.

According to a report by The Mail on Sunday, a palace source revealed that Harry had sent the text and suggested that including Kate in the announcement was his way of “cementing her role as a bridge between him and his brother.”
