Kate Middleton quits playing Prince Harry peacemaker, ‘finally threw up her hands in disgust’: expert
Sources have long insisted that Kate Middleton wanted to play the role of peacemaker between feuding Prince William and Prince Harry. But after her battle with cancer, the Princess of Wales seems to have different priorities.
Christopher Andersen, author of “The King,” told Fox News Digital that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are not on Kate’s radar these days. Instead, the 42-year-old is solely focused on preserving the future of the monarchy alongside William and her father-in-law, King Charles III.
“The idea that Kate somehow still has the time and energy to continue playing peacemaker is rubbish,” Andersen claimed. “She did try over a period of years and finally threw up her hands in disgust. She did her bit, but it wasn’t enough to build a bridge between William and Charles on the one side and Harry on the other.”
A spokesperson for Kensington Palace didn’t immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams claimed to Fox News Digital that Kate “is totally at one” with William, 42, over the handling of the royal rift, and with good reason.
“Harry portrayed her as cold and unwelcoming to [his wife] Meghan Markle in [his memoir] ‘Spare,’ when he painted an extremely damaging picture of the royal family,” Fitzwilliams explained.
“The memoir is soon to be released in paperback and his allegations will surface again, though fortunately, he will not be adding to the volume or promoting it. He knows perfectly well how damaging it has been.”
Fitzwilliams noted that Kate will focus on slowly returning to royal duties on her terms while prioritizing her health.
“We have recently seen encouraging signs of Catherine’s recovery,” he explained. “Her focus, as she has said, is being ‘cancer free.’ The Wales family has had a tremendously difficult year. She has finished her course of preventative chemotherapy.
William, while carrying out some royal engagements, has been tremendously supportive… [But] Catherine will wish to avoid anything that promotes negative energy.”
