Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are ‘desperate’ to reconnect with Kate Middleton: report

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are trying to reconnect with Kate Middleton in hopes of burying the hatchet once and for all, according to a report.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex haven’t met up with the Princess of Wales in years — with Harry only briefly seeing her last at King Charles’ coronation in May 2023.

However, after Middleton, 42, revealed her cancer diagnosis to the world in March, the Sussexes have reportedly been itching to get in touch.

“Meghan’s desperate to come across as the bigger person and end this feud between them — appearing like some sort of royal savior could only do her image good,” a source told OK! magazine.

“When Kate gets back into action, their hope is that it might take some of the heat off them and possibly trigger a truce with her and William, and with the king, too.”

While the father of two, 39, has been on home soil twice this year, he has not met up with his estranged brother, Prince William, and his wife.

Instead, Harry only saw his father, King Charles, in February. He did not meet with any family members during his three-day trip to London in May.

The “Suits” alum, for her part, did not accompany her husband for either of the trips.

Instead, Markle flew to London to meet her husband at Heathrow Airport before the pair immediately jetted off to Nigeria together.

Harry and Markle, 42, have been shut out by the royals ever since they sensationally stepped down as senior members of the Firm and moved to the US.

Soon after settling down in Montecito, California, the duo signed on the dotted line for a series of tell-all projects, each of which revealed bombshell details about the ongoing rift between the two camps.

After sitting down for an interview with Oprah Winfrey, the Sussexes went on to release their six-part Netflix documentary, as well as Harry’s protocol-shattering memoir, “Spare.”

Unsurprisingly, their revelations widened the rift, which has yet to be fixed.

Earlier this month, it was reported that King Charles had “directly” asked his estranged son to stop leaking personal details about the royal family’s private life.
