The recently published Dutch biography of the royal family, Endgame**, has once again sparked controversy in the royal family. In the book, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are said to have accused an unnamed senior royalty of questioning the skin color of their then-unborn son, Archie, which is racist.
While the book doesn't say which member of the royal family made the remarks, those who follow the long-simmering tensions within the Windsor royal family might deduce that they were directed at Prince William or his wife, Kate Middleton. Understandably, these claims have caused a great deal of outrage and threaten to further damage already broken family relationships.
King Charles knew it would be toxic and took decisive action. In order to ease tensions and promote reconciliation, he asked his beloved daughter-in-law, Kate Middleton, to extend an olive branch to her estranged concubine, Meghan Markle.
A source close to the Princess of Wales revealed that Kate did not hesitate and she dialed.
Shortly after the book's allegations came out, Kate contacted Megan to clear up the misunderstanding. As a future queen, she knew that maintaining family harmony was essential to the monarchy. If possible, Princess Kate hopes to defuse the worrying situation and repair relations, people familiar with the matter said.
However, getting in touch with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in Los Angeles was not an easy task. Since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are no longer senior members of the royal family, the relationship has become extremely strained. But Kate is undeterred by the task of establishing open lines of communication and resolving the simmering transatlantic family feud.
According to royal insiders, "Kate was professional but enthusiastic, expressing her desire to move forward in a spirit of peace and understanding." She assured Meghan that neither she nor William were the so-called ** of the remarks. While the book doesn't name them directly, Kate wanted to explicitly rule out their possibilities in order to allay any lingering doubts.
Some may question whether reaching out is the right thing to do, given the seriousness of the allegations. But those close to Kate say she feels a sympathetic **can go a long way* to the wound and prevent further estrangement. Kate confronts these issues head-on with her usual grace, but with compassion. Her hope is that, over time, trust can be rebuilt between the once-intimate quartet.
The insider added: "It's humiliating for Kate's family to accuse her of that without hard evidence. But she believes that solving problems privately between parties is the best chance to solve problems. Quarrels on the computer will only breed more resentment. ”
As a consummate peacemaker, Kate took a noble approach by inviting Meghan to a future conversation if she wished to discuss the issue further. According to sources, "The call ended amicably, and both parties saw the value of keeping the lines of communication open as they grappled with complex family dynamics." ”
King Charles, who had hoped that reconciliation efforts would help ease recent tensions, was pleased to learn that there were no further incidents on the call. The monarch made it clear that he wanted all members of the royal family to support each other as the monarchy under his rule entered a new era. With both grandchildren now living abroad, repairing family ties is becoming increasingly important for the new king.
A court aide revealed the king's thoughts: "The feud has become so anachronistic and out of control that it is beginning to cast a shadow over his reign and the monarchy as a whole. If the players involved are willing to work with him, he wants to heal the rift once and for all. "Extending an olive branch through Kate, a trusted intermediary, is Charles's diplomatic attempt to get the parties to reach an understanding.
Only time will tell whether these well-intentioned efforts will ease tensions or lead to more volatile exchanges. Despite once being close, the damaged trust between family branches in California and the United Kingdom takes time and effort to restore. But Kate has shown that she is willing to be a cohesive figure, and she has helped her well with compassion and wisdom over the past tumultuous decade.
With the Christmas holidays approaching, some are hoping it might give Prince William and Princess Kate a chance to talk further privately with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. If that's the case, the kindness shown by Kate Middleton in reaching out might help the family on a path that will eventually rediscover peace and acceptance. For the sake of public responsibility and personal well-being, it is hoped that the parties will be able to reach a settlement.
