Prince Harry returned to England a few days ago to visit his father, Prince Charles, after his cancer diagnosis.
However, his stay was very short and he did not take the opportunity to reconnect with his brother, Prince William, with whom he has had a distant relationship for years.
The reason for this tension between the children of Diana of Wales may be deeper than previously thought.
Is Prince Harry in love with Kate Middleton?
According to a new theory, Prince Harry may have been in love with his sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, when he was single and sharing an office and schedule with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
This is according to Ingrid Seward, a renowned journalist and writer on the British monarchy who has published 17 books on the royal family.
In an interview, Seward assured that Harry is “a little bit in love” with Kate and that he feels a “real connection” with her.
The royal author goes on to explain that Harry adored his sister-in-law mentally, rather than physically, and was always hanging around the couple.
Seward said: “No, no, no – I don’t mean physically but mentally. Remember when it was just the three of them? He always longed for a sister, he told Diana that.
“Psychologically I think he just adored her and he was always there, at Kensington Palace, in their fridge, you know, ‘What’s for supper?’.”
The journalist also highlights the role that Meghan has played in the estrangement between the siblings and the jealousy that she may have had for Kate Middleton.
According to The Telegraph, the author goes on to explain how Meghan may have been jealous of her home compared to where the Prince and Princess of Wales lived.
She explains: “I think that Meghan must have been incredibly envious and then jealous of Kate. I heard Meghan actually thought she was going to be a princess and live in Windsor Castle.
Seward’s theory has caused a stir in the British press, which wonders if Harry was really in love with Kate and if that influenced his estrangement from his brother.
The truth is that Harry and Kate had a very special relationship before Meghan came along, and they were seen as very complicit and fun in their public appearances.
Now that complicity has been lost, and Harry has returned to California with his wife and their two children, Archie and Lilibet, without seeing his brother and sister-in-law, who is recovering from abdominal surgery.
Prince Harry seems to have closed the door on reconciliation with his family, while Prince William remains the heir to the throne and the support of his father.
