Insiders are quite adamant that Catherine, Princess of Wales, better known as Kate Middleton, has been the force trying to make Prince William and King Charles III open Prince Harry back to the family. Over the years, we’ve heard time and time again that Kate has been trying hard to help, and now, it seems there’s a potential reason behind amping up the reconciliation now.
In case you missed it, the royal family actually wished Harry a happy 40th birthday, making it the first birthday shoutout since 2021. And a royal source claimed that Kate is the reason that happened.

“She told William in no uncertain terms that this was not the time for resentment; they needed to show the world that love and family are front and center of their values, but more importantly, she wanted Harry to have this message on his big day,” the source said to In Touch Weekly. “It meant the world to [Harry] that the royals,, as well as the Waleses’, sent this olive branch on social media, and Kate made a point to call him and send a thoughtful gift his way as well.”
So it seems that now, more than ever, Kate is seemingly want family values to be at the forefront of the new royal family; starting with this unexpected birthday shoutout.
“William’s stance has not changed: He loves his brother and always will, but it’s too early for him to sit down for any type of dialogue with his brother. Still, Kate aims to change this over time,” the source added.
Sources have claimed that Kate and Harry are still close, with them allegedly making secret phone calls and Harry extending love to her during her cancer battle.
A royal source told Life and Style Mag earlier this year that Kate sometimes calls Harry during an unprecedented time.
“Everyone assumes Kate doesn’t like Harry, but they have a special bond that not many people really understand,” the source said. “She and Harry were extremely close at one time. She’s confided in him during some of her darkest moments, and now that includes her cancer battle.”
