Kate Middleton Reportedly Makes Secret Phone Calls To Prince Harry In California
According to Closer, insiders revealed that the Princess of Wales, 41, has been making late night phone calls to her 38-year-old brother-in-law as a "kind gesture" – not just because of his ongoing feud with her husband Prince William 41, and other members of the royal family, including King Charles, 74, but also because of his ongoing legal battles with the press.
"Kate has been in touch with Harry to tell him to keep his chin up and not worry too much about these temporary setbacks," an insider reportedly told Closer. "Harry’s relationship with Kate has remained intact and it means an awful lot to Harry that she continues to show support and especially during desperate times like this when the chips are down." We wonder if he now regrets attacking Kate – who he once called the sister he always wanted – in his bombshell memoir, Spare…
So why is the Princess of Wales keeping the Duke of Sussex in her thoughts? According to the pub, "She feels very sorry for him right now. Seeing him go through all these setbacks is very difficult to witness and it tugs at her heartstrings – especially as his court trial is taking place so close to their home."
As for the ongoing feud within the royal family, the insider said: "It’s obviously an extremely sensitive and delicate situation between many of the other senior royals and especially William, who has made it very clear that he is not yet ready to sit down with Harry for peace talks or any type of open dialogue for that matter."
However, the source went on to say that "Kate wants to keep those lines of communication open and pave the way for long-term peace with the whole family – William included – down the line," adding, "She doesn’t want to meddle with Harry’s life but she wants him to know that there are a lot of people, herself included, who care about him and are rooting for him to be happy."
