Princess of Wales quietly mediates between King Charles and Harry to help heal family rift
Catherine has reportedly taken a quiet but determined step in easing tensions between King Charles and Harry, with the wellbeing of Archie and Lilibet at heart.
According to Closer magazine, the Princess of Wales has encouraged both the monarch and the Duke of Sussex to reconnect via video calls, as Charles continues to feel deeply saddened by the emotional and physical distance from his grandchildren.
“It breaks Charles’ heart that he hasn’t been able to build a relationship with Archie and Lilibet,” a source revealed, adding that the King is painfully aware of the milestones he’s missed. Despite this, Harry has yet to show signs of bridging the divide, prompting Catherine to seek a practical solution.
Amid Charles’ ongoing cancer battle, Catherine is said to feel that time is too precious to waste on lingering resentment. She reportedly believes regular virtual contact could be a small yet meaningful step towards healing.
“Kate is trying to make that happen and has spoken to both Charles and Harry about the possibility of setting up regular chats,” the insider said, noting that she fears Harry might one day regret the disconnect.
Catherine’s efforts may represent a subtle path forward, one grounded in compassion and a desire to prioritise family ties above royal rifts.
