LONDON — Kate Middleton reportedly experienced a major shift in her feelings toward Prince Harry following his controversial 2025 BBC interview, according to claims from a royal expert.
The comments come amid ongoing tensions within the royal family involving King Charles III and continued strain between Harry and Prince William.
Harry’s BBC interview sparks royal concern
In the interview, Prince Harry spoke about King Charles’ health following his cancer diagnosis, stating: “I don’t know how much longer my father has,” while also expressing a desire for reconciliation with the royal family.
Royal commentator Christopher Andersen, author of Kate! The Courage, Grace, and Power of the Woman Who Will Be Queen, claimed the remarks had a significant emotional impact within royal circles.
According to excerpts, the comments reportedly intensified concerns about the public handling of the King’s health and the wider implications for the monarchy.
Kate Middleton’s reported reaction
Andersen suggests that Kate, who once shared a close bond with Harry, was left deeply disappointed by the interview.
Insiders claim the Princess of Wales told Prince William she was “done” with Harry following the broadcast, describing her reaction as more disappointment than anger.
The report also alleges that Kate had previously worked hard to help repair the relationship between the brothers, but the interview marked a breaking point.
Growing divide between the brothers
Relations between Prince William and Harry have remained strained since Harry’s memoir Spare, with the BBC interview reportedly deepening the divide.
Sources suggest that Kate ultimately aligned with William’s position, stepping back from efforts to mediate between the brothers.
Personal sensitivity over King Charles’ health
The report also highlights Kate’s personal connection with King Charles, particularly as both have faced cancer-related health challenges.
According to the expert, this shared experience has made her especially sensitive to public remarks about the King’s wellbeing, particularly when they are perceived as speculative or distressing.
A royal rift that remains unresolved
Despite ongoing public speculation, Buckingham Palace has not commented on the claims.
The situation underscores how deeply personal relationships within the royal family continue to intersect with public statements—keeping tensions between the Waleses and the Sussexes firmly in the spotlight.
