Meanwhile, sources have also claimed that Kate is worried Prince Harry may once again risk deepening the divide with his family following his September meeting with King Charles. Speaking to OK! magazine, insiders said: “Kate has been working quietly to calm things down, and she’s hoping Harry will come home for her favorite time of year, Christmas.”

William’s Patience Wearing Thin

Kate is reportedly also concerned that Prince William’s patience has been “thinned to the bone” after years of public criticism from Harry and Meghan toward the Firm, complicating her attempts to play mediator.

A friend of the Princess stressed: “She wants Harry – and particularly his children – to remain part of the family circle. She does not want to be seen as a homewrecker, but there is no love lost between her and Meghan, and Kate is reminding him that he doesn’t need to walk away from where he comes from.”
