He may not have been able to get a look in with his father, King Charles, or brother, Prince William, but thereโs one person Prince Harry can always rely on โ and thatโs his sister-in-law, Catherine, Princess of Wales.
During his flying visit to London for the WellChild Awards on September 30, Harry is said to have planned to meet up with Kate โ with sources confirming the pair have been in touch in a bid to heal their feud.
โKateโs loyalty will always be to William, and she wouldnโt do that without his approval,โ an insider tells Womanโs Day. โKate has been communicating with Harry, just indirectly, and with Williamโs knowledge.โ
The 42-year-oldโs battle with cancer has given her a whole new perspective on life and whatโs most important, says our source. Holding a grudge and ghosting Harry just isnโt healthy for anyone.
โKate has a new appreciation for life and doesnโt want this feud to continue,โ our insider says. โSheโs been diligently working on โdefrostingโ William for months now. If thereโs one thing they can agree on, itโs that they need to leave the distress and disappointment of the past few years behind.
โKate believes Harry needs their help and that he deeply wants to come home. As the future queen of England, sheโs not going to let Harry and his children be left behind โ certainly not if the situation is turning into something it shouldnโt be.โ
As far as Harry, 40, is concerned, he could use all the support he can get right now. Flying solo without wife Meghan on his third consecutive overseas trip โ to Lesotho, South Africa, straight from the UK โ all signs point to the Duke of Sussex distancing himself professionally from his controversial spouse.
โHarry is in desperate need of allies,โ our insider says. โThings arenโt going well for him in California and now two big media outlets have slammed Meghan directly.
Her reputation is probably unsalvageable at this point, however not so much Harryโs. Heโs taking this chance and running with it. Heโs trying to re-establish himself as โPrince Harryโ not โMeghanโs husbandโ.
โHeโs absolutely overjoyed to know Kateโs not completely given up on him. Itโs been devastating being out in the cold while the family was hit with so many serious crises. But Kateโs diagnosis was a huge wake-up call.
โHe holds great remorse over some of his actions, but he never wanted to hurt his old best mate. They were once so close and he canโt bear that heโs not still by her side, helping her navigate palace perils.โ
With William, 42, still giving him the cold shoulder, Harry is well aware that Kate is his only hope of opening any sort of dialogue with his brother.
โHe knows heโs not out of the woods yet, but heโs determined to not mess up this time,โ the insider says. โIf heโs ever going to save his kids from an extremely disappointing situation, heโs going to need her help.โ
