Why Kate Middleton 'raised her hands in disgust' at Prince Harry: Expert

After her battle with cancer, the last thing on Kate Middleton's mind is to play the role of peacekeeper between Prince William and Prince Harry.

Christopher Andersen, author of The King, spoke to Fox News about the relationship between the Princess and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, saying the couple is not on Kate's radar.

“The idea that Kate still has the time and energy to continue playing the role of peacemaker is nonsense.” Andersen told Fox News. “She tried for years and finally threw up her hands in disgust. She did what she could, but it was not enough to build a bridge between William and Charles on the one hand and Harry on the other.

Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams said Kate, 42, is “completely united” with her husband Prince William, 42, and is done dealing with the sibling rift.

“Harry portrayed her as cold and unwelcoming [his wife] Meghan Markle in [his memoir] “Spare” when he painted a very damaging picture of the royal family. Fitzwilliams told Fox News. “The memoir will soon be released in paperback and his allegations will resurface, although fortunately, he will not add to the volume or promote them. He knows full well how damaging it has been.”

Instead of focusing her time on the royal siblings, Kate will focus her time returning to royal duties as she prioritizes her health.

“We have recently seen encouraging signs of Catherine’s recovery,” he explained. “Her focus, she said, is ‘freedom from cancer.’” The Wills family has had a very difficult year. She has finished a course of preventative chemotherapy. William, while juggling some royal engagements, has been very supportive… [But] Catherine will want to avoid anything that reinforces negative energy.

In early September, Kate announced that she had finished chemotherapy and was now “cancer-free.”

“I can’t tell you what a relief it is to finally complete my chemotherapy,” the Princess of Wales wrote in a statement on X, formerly Twitter, at the time.

“Doing everything I can to stay cancer-free is my focus now. Although I have finished chemotherapy, my road to recovery and full recovery is long and I must continue to take each day as it comes.

After stepping down as an active royal and leaving the United Kingdom in 2020, Harry's relationship with his family has been strained.

Since his departure, Harry, 40, has sat down for a slew of interviews, revealing how unstable his family relationships were.

Many of the details come from his 2023 memoir, “Spare,” in which Harry was particularly candid about his arguments with his brother and father, King Charles.

Last June, Harry and Meghan Markle, 43, reached out to Kate before she made a rare appearance at the Trooping the Color gala, according to reports.

“Both Harry and Meghan have been following Kate’s recovery with great interest, but unfortunately this has had to be done remotely as their lines of communication with the Palace and the Wales family, in particular, are slim, to say the least.” He said closer.

“They have mutually reached out to send their well wishes, but they and Kate are still not in a position to warrant much of a response,” the source said, adding that this “has not stopped them from trying to connect.” “

The source continued, saying that Meghan made it clear that she was ready to “get past all this bullshit and find a way toward healing for everyone.”

“She's ready to let go of the anger and bitterness,” the insider added.

Meanwhile, the Duke of Sussex visited London in May to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games.

Harry has not met this estranged family due to his father's “busy schedule,” although some say any kind of reconciliation won't be coming anytime soon.

“I always said I thought there was a possibility, but as time goes on and the more we hear and see, I think a reunion becomes more and more unlikely,” former royal butler Grant Harrold told The Washington Post. in May. “I always thought Kate was the one who was going to break it because she had such a good relationship with Harry.”

“However, over time, I think this is becoming less likely,” Harold continued.

Andersen also claimed that William would not allow Harry “anywhere near his sick wife.”

Harry and Meghan have no relationship with the future king and queen, with Kate putting her energy “on her health and her family,” To Di For Daily host Kinsey Schofield told Fox News.

“Even with Catherine currently in a critical situation… the fact is that cancer has taken a toll on King Charles,” Schofield said, referring to the 75-year-old monarch who is also battling cancer.

Although Buckingham Palace has not specified what type of cancer the king has been diagnosed with, he will reportedly pause his treatment for 11 days for his Australian royal tour next week.

King Charles, accompanied by his wife Queen Camilla and a traveling doctor, is scheduled to depart for the tour on October 18. They are expected to arrive in Sydney and Canberra, then travel to Samoa, where the King will attend the first Commonwealth heads of government. CHOGM meeting.
