Kate Middleton appears to have separated herself, and is refusing to offer King Charles any help in helping Prince Harry and Meghan Markle re-enter the royal fold.

The reason for this has been revealed by a well placed source who is aware of the Princess’ woes throughout cancer and Megxit.

According to a report by Woman’s Day the source admitted right off the bat that Kate’s reasons for going against any reconciliation drive is because she feels “the royal family is being hijacked.”

The source also said, “she and William don’t want to see Meghan and Harry welcomed back into the fold. They see them as troublemakers and people who can’t be trusted. Kate’s worked incredibly hard to rebuild a sense of calm around her family over the past few years.”

Another thing the insider revealed regarding the Princess of Wales is that “the thought of reopening old chapters is naturally emotional. She just wants this firmly behind her.”

On the flip side, it is King Charles who is attempting to reconnect with his wayward son, and grandchildren who have largely grown up in the US.

Before signing off the source also explained a bit about King Charles’ reasons for choosing to forgive and forget. In their own words they said, “Charles is trying to keep the lines of communication open with Harry and Meghan, but Kate is far more cautious.”
