Since her marriage to Prince William in 2011, Kate Middleton has shared a very good relationship with her brother-in-law, Prince Harry. The two would often appear as real siblings who shared a genuine bond. However, all of this was before Prince Harry had his feud with the Royal Family and exited with his wife, Meghan Markle.
Apparently, Kate Middleton always served as the driving force behind keeping the family together, and she often worked as the mediator between the two brothers when they had some issues. It now appears that Kate is ready to take up that role again, as he reportedly tried to arrange a meeting between Prince Harry and Prince William so that the brothers can sort things out between them.
As reported by Closer, sources close to Kate mentioned that she set up a surprise meeting between the brothers on their trip to Mustique. This extremely private Caribbean island seemed to be the perfect place for the estranged brother to meet, as it offers privacy from the ever-prying eyes of the media and others.
As revealed by the source, “Kate reached out to Harry a couple of months ago when they were discussing his upcoming trip to the UK, and told him their plans to go to Mustique over half term,” one source told the outlet. “She said it might be a good opportunity for him to see her, William and the children and have some privacy away from prying eyes every time he’s in the U.K.”

Prince Harry apparently agreed but “didn’t confirm he was flying out until he was in Canada for the Invictus Games, so it was all very last minute. He flew in for a hurried visit and stayed at a friend’s villa close to where Kate and William were staying.”
The source also mentioned that while Kate was extremely warm with Prince Harry, her husband, Prince William, did not seem to share the same emotions and appeared to be rather cold throughout the meeting.
It was also revealed, “Kate invited him over for lunch the day after he arrived and while he seemed very on-edge at first, he loosened up after playing around with the children and he ended up staying into the evening. Kate hoped that this would be an opportunity for them all to really talk and try to get some resolve after years of fighting. William was frosty the entire time and didn’t really engage.”
The way things went, it seems like Kate’s dreams of a fairy tale reconciliation between the brothers turned into a rather awkward and unfortunate affair. However, this meeting allowed Kate to reconnect with her brother-in-law, with whom she was so close. Post her cancer diagnosis last year, Kate seems to have understood how fleeting and unpredictable life is, and this realization can be the motivating factor behind her attempts to make things okay inside the family.
However, surprisingly enough, when comments were asked from Prince Harry’s side, it was said that the reunion never happened. His sources mentioned that he never went to Mustique, and no meeting between him, Kate, and Prince William occurred. With two sides giving two completely different versions, it now remains to be seen what further incidents unfold and who is telling the truth.
