Kate Middleton is reportedly preparing to extend an olive branch to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle this Christmas, signaling a potential step toward mending the royal divide. Former royal butler Grant Harrold believes the Princess of Wales could make a celebratory FaceTime call to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as a gesture of goodwill.
Talk to GB NewsHarrold emphasized the seasonal spirit of reconciliation, saying, “Christmas is about goodwill toward others, leaving the past behind. If there is a time in the year when families need to communicate or contact each other, it will be at Christmas.
Kate, who recently returned to royal duties after completing her chemotherapy treatment in September, is said to be keen to encourage progress. Harrold expressed optimism, adding: “I like to think deep down that things are moving in the right direction. I really think they are.
Harry and Meghan, who stepped down from royal duties in 2020, have not spent Christmas with the royal family at Sandringham since 2018. The Sussexes are expected to celebrate this year’s festivities at their home in Montecito, California, with their children, Prince Archie and Princess. Lilibet.
Meanwhile, the royal family, led by King Charles, will continue their traditional Christmas celebrations in Norfolk, including the annual church service and family reunion. Whether this symbolic gesture from Kate will lead to significant progress in repairing strained ties remains to be seen, but the holiday season could be a small step toward reconciliation.
