Although Prince William and Prince Harry have been feuding for several years now, the siblings didn’t always share such a troubled relationship.<\/a><\/p>\n Indeed, before their falling out, it wasn’t only William and Harry who were remarkably close; Harry and his sister-in-law Kate Middleton<\/a> also shared an extraordinary connection.<\/p>\n 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<\/a> after marrying Meghan Markle<\/a>.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n In her 2017 book Harry: Life, Loss, and Love, royal expert and biographer Katie Nicholl detailed the emotional impact of Harry’s speech.<\/p>\n 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.”<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.the-express.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Although Prince William and Prince Harry have been feuding for several years now, the siblings didn’t always share such a troubled relationship.
