He may not have been able to get  a look in with his father, King Charles, or brother, Prince William, but thereโ€™s one person Prince Harry can always rely on โ€“ and thatโ€™s 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.

โ€œKateโ€™s loyalty will always be to William, and she wouldnโ€™t do that without his approval,โ€ an insider tells Womanโ€™s Day. โ€œKate has been communicating with Harry, just indirectly, and with Williamโ€™s knowledge.โ€

The 42-year-oldโ€™s battle with cancer has given her a whole new perspective on life and whatโ€™s most important, says our source. Holding a grudge and ghosting Harry just isnโ€™t healthy for anyone.

โ€œKate has a new appreciation for life and doesnโ€™t want this feud to continue,โ€ our insider says. โ€œSheโ€™s been diligently working on โ€˜defrostingโ€™ William for months now. If thereโ€™s one thing they can agree on, itโ€™s that they need to leave the distress and disappointment of the past few years behind.

โ€œKate believes Harry needs their help and that he deeply wants to come home. As the future queen of England, sheโ€™s not going  to let Harry and his children be left behind โ€“ certainly not if the situation is turning  into something it shouldnโ€™t 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.

โ€œHarry is in desperate need of allies,โ€ our insider says. โ€œThings arenโ€™t 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 Harryโ€™s. Heโ€™s taking this chance and running with  it. Heโ€™s trying to re-establish himself as โ€˜Prince Harryโ€™ not โ€˜Meghanโ€™s husbandโ€™.

โ€œHeโ€™s absolutely overjoyed to know Kateโ€™s not completely given up on him. Itโ€™s been devastating being out in the cold while the family was hit with so many serious crises. But Kateโ€™s diagnosis was a huge wake-up call.

โ€œHe 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 canโ€™t bear that heโ€™s 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.

โ€œHe knows heโ€™s not out of the woods yet, but heโ€™s determined to not mess up this time,โ€ the insider says. โ€œIf heโ€™s ever going to save his kids from an extremely disappointing situation, heโ€™s going to need her help.โ€
