Prince Harry and Kate Middleton Fling: A Look Back at the Royal Rift
One former royal aide has recently stirred up old rumors by claiming that Prince Harry and Kate Middleton had a “near-fling” in the past, sparking jealousy in Prince William that still lingers today.
According to a source, the tensions created by this alleged fling continue to impact the relationship between the once-close brothers.
The conversation around this topic was reignited when Grant Harrold, a former butler to King Charles, mentioned William and Middleton’s 2007 break-up in his book, The Royal Butler.
Harrold recalled the strong bond between Harry and Middleton, stating, “They got on so well. I remember, when Prince William and Kate separated â you know, Prince Harry and Kate got on so well that I even thought that maybe Harry and she would get together.”
He continued, “They were that close. They were best friends, and I wouldn’t have put it past Harry thinking, ‘Well, she’s a pretty girl, My brother didn’t want her. I’ll have her.'”
“That wouldn’t have surprised me at all. So it could have been Harry and Catherine easily, I would have thought. But, you know, thankfully William got her back. What I’m trying to say is, that is how close they were.”
As the royal family navigates through various challenges and controversies, the past fling rumors add another layer of complexity to the dynamics between the members. Only time will tell if the rift between William and Harry can fully heal, or if the echoes of the past will continue to resonate in their relationship.
