Prince Harry publicly mentioned Kate Middleton for the first time as he discussed the rift between him and the royal family in an interview with Australia’s Channel 10. Speaking about his relationship with his brother, Prince William, and the dynamic with Kate and Meghan Markle, Harry reflected on how tensions between the couples played out in the public eye.
“I always thought the four of us would get along,” Harry explained, “but very quickly it became Kate versus Meghan, and when it plays out so publicly, you can’t hide from it.” He also noted that the royal family had made no effort to reconcile with him and Meghan since their departure as senior royals, adding: “The ball is in their court.”
Harry’s remarks come after years of speculation about strained relationships within the family. While he and Meghan avoided targeting Kate during their 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey and their Netflix documentary Meghan and Harryrumors of tensions between Meghan and Kate persisted.
The Duke of Sussex has reaffirmed his love for his father, King Charles, and his brother William, despite unresolved issues. “I love my father, I love my brother. The ball is in their court,” Harry concluded, leaving the next step of reconciliation to the royal family.
