Kate Middleton Calmed Harry And William’s Feud. Here’s How

Even before the funeral began for Prince Philip on Saturday, April 17, there was talk that the tension between Prince Harry and his brother, Prince William, would likely dominate the celebration of their grandfather’s life. While his wife Meghan Markle’s pregnancy prevented her from attending the funeral, Prince Harry made the journey to the United Kingdom to attend his grandfather’s funeral at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor (per the New York Post).

Prince Harry had not stepped foot in Great Britain since leaving his royal duties behind in 2020. Since Harry and Meghan dropped several bombshells about the royal family during a March 7 interview with Oprah Winfrey, the relationship between Prince Harry and Prince William is reportedly tense. During the CBS primetime special, Prince Harry categorized the current relationship with his brother as “space,” according to CBS News. 

Until the last moments of Prince Philip’s funeral, it appeared as though Prince Harry was uncomfortable with the entire situation until Kate Middleton engaged in what seemed like an animated chat with her brother-in-law as they walked back to Windsor Castle. According to The Sunday Times of London, Kate engaged in a bit of conversation with Prince Harry until Prince William joined them. Then, as if sensing that the pair needed a bit of time alone to chat, Kate pulled back from the pair. Judging from this interaction, it appears as though Kate is attempting to help the brothers patch up their complicated relationship.

The brothers have struggled to see eye-to-eye in recent months

After the airing of Prince Harry and Meghan’s tell-all interview, it was reported that Prince William was taken aback over the allegations that he was “trapped” in his royal duties and that the royal institution was following racist practices. Approximately a week after the interview aired, the brothers finally spoke to one another about the allegations made during Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah Winfrey.

However, as Gayle King disclosed on CBS This Morning, the talk was not as productive as the pair had hoped and Prince William was reportedly furious that his brother leaked their private conversation to King. According to Us Weekly, Prince William accused his brother of putting fame over family after the interview aired. Throughout the aftermath of the Oprah interview and even during the funeral, Kate has made it her mission to be a pillar of strength and peace for William and the royal family.

Body language expert Judi James told The Mirror that, based upon the body language of Prince William and Prince Harry during their talk after the funeral, there is a bit of hope for reconciliation in the future. “It was only when the service was over and the royal left that we finally saw Harry eye-check William and then walk up between William and Kate to chat,” James said. “Kate fell back to talk to another party, leaving the two brothers walking alone talking in the moment of possible reconciliation that we had all be hoping for.”
