Catherine ‘Kate’ Middleton, the Princess of Wales, has long been the unofficial mediator within the royal family, particularly when it comes to her relationship with Prince Harry. Despite Harry’s recent distancing from his royal roots, including the release of his 2023 memoir Spare which cast some family members in an unflattering light, Kate has maintained what insiders call a “soft spot” for her brother-in-law. She’s reportedly now hoping to bridge the gap between Harry and his older brother, Prince William.
According to close sources, Kate is especially optimistic about Harry’s recent “professional split” from Meghan Markle, suggesting it might open a door for him to visit Britain for Christmas and possibly reconnect with the family. “Kate’s got her finger on the pulse of the royal family, and she feels strongly this is Harry’s last chance to make amends,” shared an insider.

Though it’s a challenging task, she’s reportedly committed to “staying true to her word” and gently encouraging Harry toward reconciliation. “She’s making it clear he needs to make more of a concerted effort,” the source added, seeing this as the “perfect opportunity for him to strike while the iron’s hot.”
Kate’s dedication to mending these strained ties is notable, given the strain Harry’s memoir put on his relationship with her. Despite the tension, she reached out to Harry on his 40th birthday in September, offering a heartfelt phone call to remind him that he’s still family. According to sources, she played a key role in ensuring that Harry received formal palace congratulations, showing that “despite all his faults, she still sees him as a little brother and she’s willing to forgive him.”

Kate aims to restore harmony in Royal Family
Catherine’s dedication to smoothing family relationships hasn’t always been easy. Convincing William to support public messages to his estranged brother took effort. “She told William in no uncertain terms that this is not the time for resentment,” noted another source. She wanted to emphasize to Harry, and the world, that love and family remain central to their values.
While reports of tension persist, with some noting Kate’s frustration with Meghan Markle’s “hypnotic hold” on Harry, she’s remained steadfast. One insider noted her quiet determination: “She’s slowly making good on her vow to restore some kind of peace between the estranged royal and his family.” For Kate, it’s about family first, making it clear that, though difficult, her efforts to bring Harry back into the fold are still going strong.
