Princess of Wales Kate Middleton has made a sweet plea to her husband Prince William regarding brother-in-law Prince Harry after the Duke and Meghan Markle announced their plan to return to Britain.

The future queen’s plea has been revealed by royal expert Rob Shuter in his latest piece for Naughty But Nice substack.

He revealed, “Kate Middleton is encouraging Prince William to make peace with Prince Harry”, however, this isn’t about rebuilding a brotherly relationship. “It’s about protecting the monarchy”.

The insider told the expert, “Kate is the voice of reason. She knows William and Harry may never be brothers in the way they once were. But they can be civil, they can cooperate, and they can stop feeding the story that the royal family is permanently divided.”

She also understands something bigger: "every public clash gives Harry and Meghan more oxygen".

“This isn’t about forgiveness. It’s about strategy,” the source says. “Kate is thinking about the institution and the future, when William is King and she is Queen.”

The fresh claims came amid reports Meghan and Harry plans to return to Britain, and a source close to the couple have said they would move from California to somewhere outside London for an extended period with their children, Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5, who will go to school in Britain.
