Princess Catherine's relationship with Prince Harry is so broken that she 'won't hold out an olive branch' in time for Christmas, Jennie Bond claims
Princess Catherine's relationship with Prince Harry is so broken that she won't be the one to 'hold out an olive branch' in time for Christmas, according to a royal expert. There is a strained relationship between Kate and Prince Harry, her brother-in-law. It suggests that they were once very close, with Kate playing a role as a peacemaker within the Royal Family, notably bringing Prince William and Prince Harry together after Prince Philip's funeral in 2021. However, the relationship appears to have deteriorated due to the release of Prince Harry's memoir "Spare," in which he made a number of allegations against members of the Royal Family.
According to Royal commentator Jennie Bond, Kate has been hurt and insulted by the allegations and personal attacks made by Prince Harry in his book. She suggests that Kate has reached a point where she is not willing to be the one to extend an olive branch to mend the relationship. The complexity of the current situation and the impact of the memoir have seemingly made it difficult for her to continue her role as a mediator.
According to Prince Harry, there were signs of discord between Meghan and Kate when Meghan was introduced into royal life, particularly during a bridesmaid dress dispute in 2018, which left both women in tears. In the book, Prince Harry also claimed that Meghan found Kate and Prince William a bit "cold" when they first met.
Royal commentator Jennie Bond suggests that these revelations, along with other details from the memoir, have hurt Kate and made her upset. This is because Kate is known for her warm and approachable public persona, often engaging with the public through hugs and taking selfies during royal engagements. The public discussion of these incidents may have added to the complexity of their relationship and made it difficult for Kate to play her usual peacemaking role within the family.
Jennie Bond also mentioned that she doesn't expect a family reconciliation in time for Christmas, indicating that the strained relationship may persist for a while. Relationships within the Royal Family can be quite intricate, and it's challenging to predict how they will evolve in the future.
According to Harry, Meghan asked to borrow lip gloss from Kate ahead of their appearance at the first Royal Foundation Forum Summit in 2018. Kate apparently obliged by offering her lip gloss. However, Harry claimed that Meghan's manner of applying the gloss and Kate's reaction to it, described as a "disgusted" face, contributed to the tension between the two.

Prince Harry also mentioned other tense situations involving Meghan and Kate, including an incident where Princess Diana, Prince Harry and Prince William's mother, dismissed Meghan's remedies for a common cold at the dinner table. These incidents, as detailed in the memoir, appear to have played a role in exacerbating the strained relationship between the two women.
