“Kate Middleton feels William is pushing Harry too far now and the last thing she wants is more drama or emotional upheaval.”

Prince William and his estranged brother Harry, who were once close, are no longer on speaking terms and they have not spoken since their grandmother late Queen Elizabeth’s funeral in 2022.

Amid William and Harry’s rift, the insiders have told the Closer while Kate Middleton is very protective now of the stability around William and the children, “she also would love William and Harry to build bridges and reconcile in some way.”

The close insiders have claimed the Princess of Wales has warned that “she feels William is pushing Harry too far now and the last thing she wants is more drama or emotional upheaval.”

Kate Middleton’s warning to William over Harry came after the Duke was removed from the guest list of their cousin Peter Phillips wedding next month.

The source says, “The wedding situation has left Harry increasingly uncertain about where he truly stands with the family. It’s shaken him. He thought there might finally be small signs of softening.”

“Instead, this feels like another door closing,” the source says and adds “He desperately wants his children to experience parts of royal life and family traditions.”

Moreover, being frozen out of Peter Phillips’ wedding has delivered one of the deepest blows yet to Harry, the insider went on saying.

Balmoral has huge emotional meaning for Harry, the source said and added “But there’s now a lot more nervousness around any family gathering involving Harry.”
