The tide is starting to turn<\/a> in the royal family rift, and Prince Harry is getting support from unexpected places.<\/p>\n

Belgium\u2019s Princess Delphine offered up her thoughts on the situation on the July 15 episode of the It\u2019s Reigning Men<\/a> podcast \u2014 and it sounds like some royals are tired of King Charles III and Prince William icing the Duke of Sussex out.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey lost such an important figure [with Princess Diana\u2019s death], and I feel very sorry for Harry because I think that was traumatic for him,\u201d she shared. \u201cI think Harry suffered so much<\/a>, and I think he was traumatized, and it\u2019s coming out now. I think there is this thing with security, I think it\u2019s to do with what happened to his mother.\u201d<\/p>\n

She wasn\u2019t done, though; Delphine empathizes with how Harry has been left to figure life out on his own.<\/p>\n

\u201cI understand the guy,\u201d the royal added. \u201cHe\u2019s just traumatized. He\u2019s doing these things, and everybody\u2019s bullying him, but not thinking about his trauma, and I just find it terrible because I feel like he\u2019s just been kind of left.\u201d<\/p>\n

There appears to be some movement in the family feud after the Sussexes\u2019 chief communications officer, Meredith Maines, and their PR representative in the U.K., Liam Maguire, met with the monarch\u2019s communications secretary, Tobyn Andreae, last week in London. The royal peace talks come after Harry admitted to the BBC<\/a> in May that he \u201cwould love a reconciliation<\/a>\u201d with his dad and older brother because he did \u201cnot know how much longer [his] father has.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the negotiations appear to be in the early stages of discussion, Delphine understands what it\u2019s like to be a palace outsider. She learned that her father was King Albert II of Belgium at the age of 18, but a lengthy legal battle and a confirmed January 2020 DNA test gave her the right to a royal title. Now, at the age of 57, the Belgian royal family<\/a> regularly includes her in public appearances.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear when the British royal family might be reunited, but a People<\/a> source described it as a \u201cgood first step.\u201d And now that there is some public pressure coming from another royal family, it might push King Charles in the right direction.<\/p>\n
