Insiders say Prince Harry and Kate Middleton have reconnected – and their reconciliation could lead to a much-awaited royal reunion
Kate Middleton and Prince Harry were on opposite sides of the world last week as he spoke at a mental health conference in San Francisco, while the Princess privately enjoyed the Easter holidays with her family at their Norfolk home of Anmer Hall.
But even though their worlds are poles apart as Harry, 39, pursues his American dream – including an announcement just a few days ago that he’s working on a new Netflix series lifting the lid on the world of polo, as Meghan will “celebrate the jobs of cooking and gardening, entertaining and friendship” – while Kate, 42, bravely continues her fight with cancer in the UK, a source tells Closer that they’ve been exchanging secret messages and calls.

Earlier this month, royal expert Tessa Dunlop also revealed how Harry had been in a “painful place” after his attack on Kate in his memoir, Spare, after her announcement in March that she is undergoing chemotherapy following planned abdominal surgery in January.
In the bombshell book, Harry described Kate as “on edge” about being compared to actress Meghan, 42, and accused her of “grimacing” after being forced to lend Meghan her lipgloss.
Kate and Harry have now not officially spoken in public to each other since the late Queen’s death in September 2022, with
