Royal author shares surprising insight behind Prince Harry and Princess Catherine's relationship
The British Royal Family has always been a source of fascination, with their lives playing out like a real-life soap opera.
The latest revelation to rock the monarchy involves Prince Harry and his sister-in-law, Catherine ‘Kate’ Middleton, Princess of Wales.
A veteran royal expert has recently shed light on the complex dynamics within the couples in the family, suggesting that Prince Harry may have harboured feelings for Kate.
Ingrid Seward, a longtime Editor of Majesty magazine and a renowned Royal Commentator, has made a startling claim in a recent interview.
‘Maybe Harry was a little in love with Kate,’ she said.
Before you jump to conclusions, Ms Seward clarified that she didn't mean Harry was physically attracted to Kate. Instead, she suggested that Harry, who had always longed for a sister, found a sisterly figure in Kate.
'Remember when it was just the three of them? He always longed for a sister, he told Diana that. Psychologically, I think he just adored her and he was always there, at Kensington Palace, in their fridge, you know, “What’s for supper?”' she explained.
Commenting on that suggestion, another Royal Commentator, Daniela Elser, said: ‘She has a point. For a long time there, Kate seemed to fulfil a specific and needed role in Harry’s hurly-burly life and inner world.’
‘Harry had finally acquired a warm, emotionally literate maternal figure willing to dish out hugs and large helpings of shepherd’s pies,’ she added.
However, Ms Elser stated that the dynamic was bound to change when Harry started building his family.
In 2016, Prince Harry met Meghan Markle, and the course of royal history took an unexpected turn. The couple's whirlwind romance and subsequent marriage changed the dynamics within the royal family.
Ms Seward also suggested that Meghan might have been envious of Kate's position within the royal family.
'I think that Meghan must have been incredibly envious and then jealous of Kate,' she said.
‘I heard Meghan actually thought she was going to be a princess and live in Windsor Castle. Instead, there’s William and Kate with this beautiful house while they are stuck in Nottingham Cottage, which Harry used to call “my hovel”,’ Ms Seward added.
This comes after Ms Elser speculated that there is an anticipation and perhaps a necessity for Kate to return to her royal duties as soon as she is able. You can read more about that here.
The Princess of Wales is currently recovering from abdominal surgery at home and has not been seen in public since Christmas Day as of writing.
Meanwhile, King Charles has been diagnosed with cancer and is receiving treatment that has postponed his public duties.
