While the Royal family was obligated to publicly wish Prince Harry a happy 40th birthday, insiders reveal that it was Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Sussex, who took the initiative to bridge the gap between Harry and his family. According to sources cited by The Express, Kate personally called Harry on his birthday and played a key role in ensuring a public birthday message was posted on the royal social media accounts.
This gesture marked the first publicly acknowledged birthday message for Harry since 2021, signifying a potential shift in the dynamic between him and the rest of the royal family. The source claims that Kate felt strongly about demonstrating unity and love, especially during this time of reported tension. “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 front and center of their values, but more importantly she wanted Harry to have this message on his big day,” the source shared.
Kate’s efforts go beyond a mere birthday message. The insider reveals that she sent a personal gift to Harry, further demonstrating her commitment to mending the rift between him and the rest of the royals. “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 source emphasized.
While the birthday wishes were initially perceived as a peace offering from King Charles III and Prince William, some observers have suggested that underlying tensions may persist. Notably, Harry’s upcoming visit to the UK on September 30th to attend the WellChild Awards will not involve any meetings with senior royals.
This latest development suggests that despite the challenges, Kate Middleton is actively working to rebuild bridges between Harry and the rest of the royal family. Her actions offer a glimmer of hope for reconciliation, even as the broader dynamics remain complex and uncertain.
