Kate Middleton is standing firmly by Prince William\u2019s side as tensions with Prince Harry continue to grow, royal experts say.<\/p>\n

Despite their once-close bond, the Princess of Wales reportedly has no intention of reaching out to her brother-in-law, choosing instead to support her husband through what insiders describe as a painful family rift.<\/p>\n

Kate Middleton stands by Prince William as royal rift with Prince Harry grows deeper<\/p>\n

Speaking to Fox News Digital, royal commentator Kinsey Schofield said Catherine has remained loyal to William and feels deeply hurt by Harry\u2019s behaviour since stepping back from royal duties.<\/p>\n

Schofield said, \u201cCatherine has been nothing but supportive of her husband \u2013 and that\u2019s exactly why Prince William is so deeply hurt. But what cuts the deepest is Harry\u2019s treatment of Catherine. She\u2019s always loved him, always treated him like a little brother. That\u2019s the betrayal William won\u2019t forget.\u201d<\/p>\n

The once-warm relationship between Kate<\/a> and Harry is said to have soured following his public criticism of the royal family. \u201cCatherine and Harry shared a fun humour and were often seen giggling together at events,\u201d said British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut she was dragged into the negative narrative, which was a real smack round the face for a kind sister-in-law who tried to be the peacemaker,\u201d Helena added.<\/p>\n

Chard added that Kate was genuinely pleased when Harry found love with Meghan Markle<\/a>, and embraced the new dynamic. \u201cShe was thrilled that Prince Harry seemed genuinely happy,\u201d Chard noted. \u201cBut now, she [silently] cannot understand why he still won\u2019t bite his tongue.\u201d<\/p>\n

Royal experts also claim that Prince William and Prince Harry are not currently in contact. King Charles III, their father, reportedly isn\u2019t responding to Harry\u2019s calls or letters either, as the royal divide appears more settled than ever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kate Middleton is standing firmly by Prince William\u2019s side as tensions with Prince Harry continue to grow, royal…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":171472,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[7709,7721,7719,7718,533,7720,1281,447,532,7710,519,71351,7711],"class_list":{"0":"post-171471","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-british-royal-family","9":"tag-duchess-of-sussex","10":"tag-duke-of-sussex","11":"tag-harry","12":"tag-kate-middleton","13":"tag-meghan","14":"tag-meghan-markle","15":"tag-prince-harry","16":"tag-prince-william","17":"tag-royal-families","18":"tag-royal-family","19":"tag-royal-family-new","20":"tag-uk-royal-family"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114655970441506137","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171471","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=171471"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/171471\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/171472"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=171471"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=171471"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=171471"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
