Kate Middleton is currently recovering from abdominal surgery and the royal family has been facing significant challenges in recent months. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been living separate lives in the US, and their relationship with Kate Middleton and other members of the royal family has been strained.
Even though their feud has led to a breakdown of communication, Harry and Meghan did reach out to Kate when they heard about her surgery. However, an expert has issued a warning to the couple about the consequences they may face if they continue to speak publicly about Kate.
Strained Relationships within the Royal Family
The relationship between Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle had already taken a turn before Harry and Meghan’s wedding. In the Oprah interview, Meghan claimed that Kate made her cry over the flower-girl dresses on her wedding day, which contradicted earlier claims made by the British tabloids.
After leaving the Royal Family, Harry and Meghan spoke openly about their struggles, further damaging their relationship with the royals. Even in times of mourning, Kate and Meghan were unable to reconcile. It is reported that Kate purposely stayed away from royal engagements after the Queen’s declining health, causing resentment towards Meghan.
Walking Together, but not Reconciled
Following Queen Elizabeth’s death, Harry, Meghan, William, and Kate appeared together in public, putting on a united front. However, according to author Robert Jobson, the joint walkabout was difficult for Kate, who admitted to a senior royal that the ill feeling between the two couples made it one of the hardest things she had ever done.
Harry’s Meeting with King Charles
When the news broke of Kate Middleton’s surgery, it took many by surprise. Harry, who had recently visited King Charles after his cancer treatment, reportedly left Camilla outraged with his behavior and was asked to leave the UK.
Despite their broken relationship, both Harry and Meghan sent their best wishes to Kate and her recovery. Meghan even reached out to Kate directly, hoping to take a step towards reconciliation.
The Consequences of Speaking Out
While Harry and Meghan have been praised for handling the situation privately, PR expert Ryan McCormick warns against speaking publicly about Kate before she returns to royal duty. Speculation about Kate’s health is already rampant, and any public comments from the Sussexes would only add fuel to the fire. McCormick advises that Harry and Meghan follow the instructions given to them by the royal family and not make any public remarks.
Kensington Palace’s Limited Updates
Many royal fans have expressed concern about the limited updates on Kate Middleton’s recovery. The palace has made it clear that significant updates will be provided when necessary. Kate’s desire to maintain privacy and normality for her children has been respected, and the public is asked to understand and respect her wishes.
Will Harry and Meghan reconcile with the royal family? Only time will tell.
