Prince Harry, once sharing an unbreakable bond with his sister-in-law Princess Kate, now faces an opportunity to rekindle their relationship on the occasion of her birthday.
The Duke of Sussex, who previously enjoyed a close connection with Princess Kate and attended royal events together, has a chance to thaw the frost in his relationship with the future Queen. Taking a wise step could bridge the gap that emerged with Meghan's entry into Harry's life.
Wishing Kate a joyous birthday could be a positive move for Harry, as she has always treated him like a younger brother, fostering a close bond before the complexities of Meghan's involvement. Kate has been known to play a peacemaking role between the royal brothers.
However, this positive gesture might not be in the cards for Harry, as it could potentially incur Meghan Markle's disapproval, given the alleged tension between Meghan and Kate.
Despite the reluctance to make a public birthday wish, some royal fans and experts believe that Harry might still extend private birthday wishes to Kate. The fear of upsetting Meghan appears to be a factor in keeping such gestures low-key.
Kate and Harry's bond, once deemed unbreakable, has reportedly strained over time, according to sources in Omid Scobie's new book "Endgame." Nonetheless, many hope that on this special day, Prince Harry might take a mature step to mend the rift and revive the camaraderie they once shared at various royal occasions.
