‘Betrayed’ Prince William is still ‘very, very angry’ over royal rift: expert
Royally rough.
Prince William is still extremely angry over the ongoing rift between the royal family and his younger brother Prince Harry, according to a royal commentator.
The Prince of Wales, 42, reportedly still feels “betrayed” over his brother’s eyebrow-raising actions since quitting royal life in 2020. However, it appears as though his wife, Kate Middleton, has a differing opinion.
“I think the Prince of Wales remains very, very angry and upset and feels very betrayed,” Vanity Fair’s royal correspondent Katie Nicholl told the Sun.
Despite the future king’s resolute stance, the Princess of Wales, 42, is more inclined toward a reconciliation between both camps, Nicholl adds.
“Possibly the Princess of Wales is still open to a reconciliation in some form,” she said. “I still feel it’s quite early.”
“But I do think when you go through something like a cancer diagnosis and you go through the sort of journey that she has done, and you confront your own mortality, you realize life is short,” she said, adding that life is “far too short for rifts and family feuds.”
Elsewhere, Nicholl highlighted the importance of overcoming the royal rift in the public eye, saying it was crucial for the royals to go about things the correct way to maintain a good public image.
“And perhaps that will be a role that [Middleton] will play at some point in healing that rift, because I think we look to the royal family as a symbol of unity,” she said of the princess.
Looking ahead to the festive season, Nicholl notes that the Windsor clan will focus on healing when they get together at Sandringham later this month.
“We will want to see them together at Christmas, this will be the sixth Christmas that Harry won’t have been a part of,” she told the outlet.
“I do think it’s important. It may be that people are making these comments on social media where you’re talking about togetherness, talking about empathy, what’s going on in your own family, and they are at risk of that happening.”
“I was talking to sources close to the princess and to William, who said, ‘Never give up hope, there’s always a chance,’ but of course it’s always in the timing,” Nicholl added.
The Post has reached out to Kensington Palace for comment.
The Prince and Princess of Wales are gearing up to journey to Sandringham in Norfolk to spend Christmas with the rest of the royals.
There, they will gather with King Charles, Queen Camilla and the rest of the senior royals to celebrate the holiday.
However, the Sussexes, as well as their two children Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3, will be absent from this year’s royal festivities.
Instead, the couple will spend the holiday at their Montecito, Calif., with their kids and Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland.
