Kate, 40, has reportedly been trying to salvage what’s left of her husband William and Harry’s relationship. The Duchess recently called her brother-in-law Harry, who lives with Meghan in California, a royal insider claimed. Kate offered the olive branch to ease tensions between the Cambridges and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who dramatically announced more than two years ago that they would be relinquishing their royal role.
The insider said: “There is a small glimmer of hope to save the brothers from never speaking again: Kate.
“She feels that despite everything that has happened, William still feels the loss of Harry.”
Speaking to US Weekly last week, the insider claimed Kate is “franticly trying to play peacemaker” between William and Harry, and has spoken to both of them.
As Kate tries to mend ties between Sussex and Cambridge, an unearthed interview reveals William’s alleged role in the feud between the two royal couples.
A longtime former royal staffer of Harry and William’s father, Prince Charles, claimed in 2019 that the Duke of Cambridge has lost the “control” he once had over his fellow royals after Meghan married into the royal family.

Speaking to the Sunday Times, they said: “William is quite controlling, and he was in control when the three of them were just three, but now he’s not.
“Personally, I wouldn’t exaggerate Meghan’s role in all of this because it’s unfair, but she knows what she’s doing as a Hollywood actress anyway.
“She knows all the tricks, she understands the power of social media, and Harry gets into all of those because he’s not into traditional media either.
“So, they maximize their standalone brand. William will have to get used to it.”
In her analysis of the divide, Sophia Money-Coutts, author of the piece, described Kate and Meghan as “very different people.”
However, they sat separately from William and Kate and were never seen with the Cambridges at any time.
Last week, another royal insider also hinted at ongoing disharmony between the Cambridges and the Sussexes.
The source claimed that Harry and William’s fraternal bond “has bottomed out” after the Sussex’s infamous sit-down interview with Oprah Winfrey for CBS last year.
Speaking to US Weekly, they claimed William “don’t know who” [Harry] is no more and the trust between them is tense.”
Harry and Meghan opened up to Oprah about the pressures of life as a senior royal in the glare of the media spotlight.
However, the Duke of Sussex also claimed that his brother still had a special place in his heart.
During the interview he said: “I love William dearly. We’ve been through hell together and we have a shared experience, but we’re on different paths.”
