The Princess of Wales Kate Middleton proved her good nature by ignoring her grievances with the Sussexes and moving to reconcile Prince Harry and his royal family. On September 15, the royal family made the unexpected move of extending a birthday tribute to Harry. The palace shared the tribute on the gram, alongside a photo of the Duke smiling at a dinner table. Prince Wiliam and Kate Middleton followed suit, posting a birthday tribute to Harry on X. The message has widely been interpreted as an olive branch to Prince Harry, sparking reconciliation speculations.
A source recently revealed to Bella magazine that Kate Middleton played an important role in bringing the royals to this positive point in their reconciliatory journey, per The Mirror. According to the source, the Princess of Wales had the genius idea to reach out to Harry on his birthday because she suspected he felt homesick back in the US. The source described this as part of Kate’s bigger plan to fulfill her vow of restoring peace among the royals. They divulged,
“She slowly makes good on her vow to restore some kind of peace and forgiveness between the estranged royal and his family before it’s too late.”
The source claimed Kate Middleton especially wanted to reach Prince Harry on his milestone birthday to better drive home her message of peace. Taking the first step towards mending fences, the Princess reportedly made a point of calling the estranged Prince. She followed up with a “thoughtful gift” to her brother-in-law, just like old times. Her effort paid off as gaining the recognition of his family on his 40th birthday meant a lot to Harry. The source divulged,
“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.”

The gesture came in the Wake of the 42-year-old’s revelation that she successfully completed chemotherapy. Having spent the better part of her year battling health woes, Kate understood more than anyone the value of cherishing every moment with family and storing up those happy memories. According to the insider, Kate first approached William with her noble intentions ahead of the big day, letting him know the importance of putting family love above all else. Per the source,
“She told William in no uncertain terms that this is not the time for resentment. They needed to show the world that love and family are the front and center of their values.”
The source cited Kate Middleton’s previously close ties with Prince Harry, noting that she finally “found it in her heart” to forgive him despite the hurtful things said about her. She quietly convinced her husband to let his anger go as well rather than write off his brother completely. The source added,
“She doesn’t believe it’s right to just give up on Harry. She’s worried for him because she sees all the signs of how homesick and vulnerable he is. Her view is that no matter what, family is family.”
Insiders previously claimed Kate Middleton and Prince William have tried to avoid matters pertaining to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle amid the princess’ cancer battle. By avoiding such stressful interactions, the palace could successfully ensure the mom-of-three avoids getting sucked into the Sussexes drama. More importantly, it helped ensure Kate remained focused on her health and recovery without risking potential complications.
