Royal ‘caught in middle’ of family feud as expert deems ‘still a chance’ of healing rift

The has been deemed as the royal “caught in the middle” of and ‘s ongoing rift.

Despite this, and the fact that the rift has been ongoing for a number of years, ‘s Edward Coram-James claims there is “still a chance” that the brothers will settle their differences and reconcile.

Mr Coram-James told : “There’s still a chance for reconciliation, but the rift between Harry and William runs deeper than many people realise.

“The fallout from Harry’s criticisms, especially in Spare and the docuseries, has left some serious wounds.

“William, in particular, might feel too tied to his future role as king to risk his reputation by rushing into a reconciliation. Trust is also a big issue — Harry’s public sharing of royal family secrets can’t be undone.”

Speaking of Princess Kate, he added: “But we also have to consider Kate, who’s caught in the middle.

“She’s juggling her royal duties, family life, and personal well-being, all while dealing with intense media scrutiny. Harry’s revelations only add pressure, and that can’t be easy on her.’

The PR expert also added: “This puts William in a tough position. As protective as he is of his family, it’s likely he’s torn between wanting to repair his relationship with Harry and protecting Kate from more stress. If Harry genuinely wants to rebuild bridges, he’ll have to recognise the emotional impact his actions have had on the whole family.”

As well as being “caught in the middle”, Princess Kate has previously been described as a peacemaker in not only William’s feud with his brother, but also in his relationship with his father.

Previously noting in his biography ‘Catherine, The Princess of Wales’, author Robert Jobson wrote: “An instinctive peace-maker, she has smoothed the way for William and his father to have a better relationship than they had in the past.”
