Make peace with Harry now

Insiders say Kate Middleton’s surgery has made her more determined than ever to put family first, and she’s urging Prince William to extend an olive branch to his brother Harry

The Royal Family were hit by yet another crisis last month when both Kate Middleton and King Charles were admitted to hospital for routine, but serious, medical operations

And while the senior royals are now back at home, mum-of-three Kate, 42, is expected to be in recovery from her abdominal surgery at the family’s Windsor home for at least three months until Easter, while she builds up her strength.

Now insiders tell Closer how Kate’s health battle has only strengthened her resolve that family comes first – and she’s more determined than ever to make peace with Prince Harry.

A source says, “Kate is slowly on the mend, but this experience has put a whole lot of things in perspective, including the ongoing feud with Harry.

“She was already pushing William to make peace before she ended up in hospital, but her operation has made her more determined that they need to find a way to put this behind them.

“Life is too short to hold on to grudges. She’s not expecting them to all become best friends again like they were, but she wants all the ugliness and rows to stop.”

REUNION

Despite the four-year royal feud reaching fever pitch over Christmas – when an editing error ahead of the release of Omid Scobie’s new book, Endgame, saw Kate and Charles “outed” as the senior royals that Harry and Meghan Markle previously accused of racist remarks – the New Year has brought unexpected hope of a reunion.

Last week a source revealed how Meghan, 42, and Harry, 39, had sent their “concerns and well-wishes” to both Kate and Charles, 75, who underwent surgery for an enlarged prostate just days after Kate’s own operation.

The insider says Kate was “touched” that the couple, who now live in Montecito with their children – Archie, four, and two-year-old Lilibet – had reached out an olive branch. And now she wants William, 41, to do the same.

They say, “She was very touched that he reached out to her to send his well-wishes and Kate is more than ready to move on. Now she just wants William to do the same for all their sakes.

“She still has a soft spot for Harry and considers him her little brother.”

However, the source says there is one hatchet the Cambridges aren’t quite ready to bury – their ongoing rift with Meghan, with several royal experts revealing that they see her as the cause behind all of the heartbreak their family have experienced.

While Harry has opened up about the underlying tensions he suffered behind palace walls, including his accusations in his book, Spare,
