Prince Harry, Meghan Markle ‘reached out’ to Kate Middleton, ‘desperate’ to mend feud

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly reached out to Kate Middleton before her defiant return to the spotlight last week.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had reached out to Kate Middleton before her defiant return to the spotlight at last week’s Trooping the Colour ceremony, according to a report.

Middleton, 42, delighted fans on Saturday by joining the royal family for King Charles’ birthday celebrations on the Buckingham Palace balcony.

Despite not having seen the Princess of Wales since news of her cancer diagnosis came to light, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have reportedly extended an olive branch to the royal, New York Post reports.

“Both Harry and Meghan have been following Kate’s recovery with huge interest, but sadly it’s had to be more from afar because their lines of communication with the palace and the Waleses, in particular, are very limited, to say the least,” a source told Closer.

“They have had enough information to know that people are excited about the idea of a comeback for Kate and they’re both relieved and happy to hear that she’s on the mend and may soon be well enough to return to her duties.”

“They’ve jointly reached out to send well wishes, but they’re still not really in a place with Kate to warrant much of a response,” the insider said, adding that this “hasn’t stopped them from trying to connect.”

“When Kate gets back into action, their hope is that it might take some of the heat off them and possibly trigger a truce with her and William, and with the King, too,” the source claimed.

While Harry has been on home soil twice this year, he has not met up with his estranged brother Prince William and his wife.

Instead, the Duke only saw his estranged father, King Charles, in February. He did not meet with any family members during his three-day trip to London in May.

Markle, for her part, did not accompany her husband for either of the trips.

Instead, she flew to London to meet her husband at Heathrow Airport before the pair immediately jetted off to Nigeria together.

“Meghan’s desperate to come across as the bigger person and end this feud between them — appearing like some sort of royal saviour could only do her image good,” a source told the outlet.

“And, despite all their bad blood, her heart does go out to Kate — she can only imagine how hard this situation must be for her.”

“Meghan has made it clear she’d love nothing more than to move past all the nonsense and find a way towards healing for everyone’s sake. She’s ready to let the anger and bitterness go,” the insider added.

The Suits star, 42, “hopes her feelings are being communicated to Kate through their mutual friends,” according to the source.

“There’s no doubt making peace with William and Kate would be a huge relief for Meghan on many levels, not least because it would also improve her reputation and, in turn, the new brand she’s cultivating,” they added.

While it’s unclear if the Waleses are open to a reconciliation, former royal butler Grant Harrold exclusively told The Post that he believes it’s “too late” for the two camps to bury the hatchet.
