Prince William and Kate Middleton haven’t had a good relationship with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for years. Harry and Meghan gave up their royal duties in 2020, but the tension between the couples started earlier. Since then, Harry and Meghan have shared their side of the story, which has only made things worse. Kate went through cancer treatment in 2024, and William is said to be “fed up” with the stress the ongoing feud has caused her.
When the couples first met, there seemed to be hope. Although Meghan and Kate had very different backgrounds, they both appeared as strong, determined women adjusting to royal life. However, when William and Harry had a disagreement between 2018 and 2019, things between Meghan and Kate also got worse.
Now, the tension has grown so much that sources say the brothers don’t talk anymore. Someone close to William and Kate says that Kate gets “nervous” whenever Harry and Meghan make a move, and William has had enough.
“William was tired of seeing Kate get anxious every time Meghan and Harry did something that upset them, even in small ways. He suggested they stop talking about them altogether, and Kate agreed,” a source told Heatworld, as reported by Marie Claire. William and Kate are currently on vacation with their family at Balmoral, and they’ve reportedly decided not to talk about Harry and Meghan at all.
Kate has been staying out of the public eye this year due to health reasons, but now the couple is enjoying some quiet time with their family, as they do every summer at Balmoral. This break allows the royals to relax and spend time together without public appearances.
William and Kate are focused on their family, making sure their three children — Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis — have as normal a life as possible. Their priority is their kids and Kate’s health, and they seem to be putting thoughts of Harry and Meghan behind them.
