Prince William is reportedly taking advice from his wife, Kate Middleton, in an effort to improve his relationship with Prince Harry. The Prince of Wales recently sent a surprise birthday message to his brother on the occasion of Harry’s 40th birthday, a gesture believed to be influenced by Kate’s advice.
Royal expert Jennie Bond shared her thoughts As for William’s possible change of heart, she explains: “Important birthdays are usually a time to take a look at your life. This time it seems that it is William who has been doing a re-evaluation.”
Writing for The mirrorBond expressed his belief that Kate has played a key role in this development. “My intuition tells me that Catherine influenced this slight softening of her husband’s unforgiving stance,” he said. Kate, who has recently completed chemotherapy, shared in a film her experience and how her experience with cancer has given her a new perspective on life and family.
“What she clearly cares about most now is family, loving and being loved. Perhaps she has convinced William that life is too short to hold grudges,” Bond continued, hinting that Kate’s experience may have inspired William to reconsider his past rift with Harry.
The birthday greetings posted on the Royal Family’s main website were also seen as a possible sign of a thaw in relations between Harry and his father, King Charles. This recent development suggests there may be a growing chance for reconciliation within the royal family, with Kate’s influence playing a major role in bridging the rift.
