Sources claim Meghan Markle is privately disappointed that Kate Middleton hasn’t played a more active role in mending Prince Harry and Prince William’s strained relationship

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is reportedly disheartened over Kate Middleton’s perceived lack of effort in resolving the ongoing rift between Prince Harry, Prince William, and the rest of the Royal Family. According to insiders, Meghan believes that Kate, often heralded as the Royal Family’s “peacemaker,” holds the key to softening William’s stance towards Harry and facilitating a reconciliation.

Speaking to Heat Magazine, a source revealed that Meghan feels Kate is in a unique position to encourage William to take steps towards rebuilding his relationship with Harry. However, the Duchess of Sussex is said to be disappointed that Kate has not taken a more proactive role in bridging the divide.

“Meghan is well aware that William has major reservations about making peace with Harry, let alone inviting him back into the fold,” the insider shared. “But she believes William might be more inclined to reconsider if Kate offered her encouragement or support in the matter.”

The report also suggests that while Meghan is keen not to appear publicly critical of Kate, especially after the Princess of Wales’s challenging year battling cancer, she privately finds the situation frustrating. Meghan reportedly views Kate as someone with the ability to influence William positively, yet feels that potential remains untapped.

“Meghan is very anxious not to appear critical of Kate, particularly given everything Kate has endured this year,” the source added. “But she does feel frustrated that Kate isn’t stepping up more to help Harry, especially as she’s often portrayed as the family’s peacemaker.”

The relationship between Harry and William has been fraught with tension in recent years, with public comments, memoir revelations, and a growing sense of estrangement dominating headlines. Meghan, for her part, has reportedly held out hope for a thaw in the icy relations, especially given the close bond Harry and William once shared.

The ongoing feud between the brothers has been a focal point of royal watchers, with many speculating on what it would take to repair the damage. Meghan, according to sources, sees Kate as a pivotal figure who could ease tensions if she chose to take a more active role in fostering dialogue between the siblings.

Kate, however, may have her own reasons for maintaining a measured distance from the conflict. Over the past year, the Princess of Wales has faced personal challenges, including her health battle, which may have impacted her ability to mediate between her husband and his estranged brother.

While Meghan’s reported frustration underscores the emotional toll the rift has taken on all involved, it also highlights the high expectations placed on Kate as a member of the Royal Family. Whether the Princess of Wales will intervene to facilitate a reconciliation remains uncertain, but for now, the tensions between the Sussexes and the rest of the Royal Family appear far from resolved.
