Princess of Wales hints at reconciliation with quiet gesture during challenging time for Duke
Kate Middleton appears to be extending a cryptic message of support to her estranged brother-in-law, Prince Harry, ahead of his upcoming return to the UK.
The Princess of Wales once shared a close bond with Harry, but their relationship reportedly soured after his marriage to Meghan Markle. Tensions between Kate and Meghan are said to have begun during wedding preparations and grew deeper, culminating in Harry and Meghan stepping back from royal duties.
Insiders suggest that following her cancer diagnosis last year, Kate has taken on the role of a “peacemaker,” reflecting on the rift between Harry and Prince William and attempting to mend their fractured relationship.
During the royal family’s annual Christmas walk at Sandringham, Kate appeared to send a subtle message of goodwill. Princess Charlotte was seen wearing a £1,500 necklace reportedly designed by Chelsy Davy, Harry’s former girlfriend often referred to as “the one that got away.”
Jewellery expert Tobias Kormind, speaking to GB News, explained that the necklace was “most likely a present from the family, and very possibly from her parents, the Prince and Princess of Wales.” The thoughtful choice highlights Kate’s ongoing cordial relationship with Chelsy, despite her 2011 split from Harry.
The timing of this gesture suggests that Kate may be signaling her support for Harry, who is reportedly feeling “sidelined” by Meghan.
As Harry prepares to return to the UK, Kate’s subtle but meaningful act reflects her efforts to ease family tensions and extend an olive branch during what remains a challenging time for the Duke of Sussex.
