Kate Middleton has been busy behind the scenes, even though she wasn’t in the spotlight much this year.
She spent time focusing on early childhood and her kids, but some say she also tried to mend the rift between Prince William and Prince Harry. A royal expert pointed out that when Kate shared news about finishing her preventative chemotherapy, her words about seeing things differently hinted at something deeper.
“I think Catherine played a part in softening William’s tough stance,” said Jennie Bond of the BBC to Mirror. In Kate’s video discussing her chemotherapy journey, she mentioned how cancer had changed her outlook on life.
The “new perspective” might have included nudging William to move past old grudges and maybe even suggesting he repair his relationship with Harry. When William made a birthday statement for Harry, it caught many fans by surprise.
“Family and love seem to matter more to her now,” Bond added. “Maybe she’s shown William that life is too short to hold onto grudges.”
King Charles and Queen Camilla also sent warm birthday wishes online.

“Birthday greetings on the royal website could hint at a reconciliation between Harry and his father,” noted Bond. But she cautioned not to expect too much too soon, saying, “This is just a small step in a complicated situation. The brothers’ bond may be nearly impossible to fix.”
We all hope for peace in families because it’s important.
Though William is busy with his duties, he knows what Kate hopes for. While he’s got lots going on and probably can’t focus on the feud right now, those first steps still count.
Bond explained that while the brothers might never be as close as before, it doesn’t mean their future has to be full of conflict. ❤️
Kate believes family should always come first.
