Kate Middleton’s likely ‘accepted’ there will be no ‘hugely warm relationship’ with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
“I think Kate has done too many overkill rituals with Harry and, in particular, Meghan,” James told GB News via Daily Star. She continued, noting multiple instances of “overkill” on Kate’s part during appearances with her sister-in-law.
James mentioned “smiling on Christmas day,” referring to royal family holiday visits to Sandringham where, in years past, Kate and Meghan have arrived at church with William and Harry. The body language expert also recalled “‘we’re best friends’” moments the sisters-in-law had at Wimbledon in 2018 and 2019.
James explained that “overkill rituals” are likely a thing of the past for the Princess of Wales regarding the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. “I think now she’s probably accepted that there won’t be a hugely warm relationship there,” she said.
Now, James remarked, Kate’s “probably just being very professional.”
Kate Middleton stayed ‘out of the way’ during Windsor Castle appearance with Harry and Meghan, according to a body language expert
Prince William, Kate, and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex came together after Queen Elizabeth’s death on Sept. 8. The foursome, previously dubbed the “Fab Four” by the media, greeted crowds outside Windsor Castle.
Considered by some to be a pivotal royal family moment, William extended an olive branch to Harry and Meghan. Meanwhile, James pointed out Kate’s “out of the way” movements.
“She kept very much out of the way,” James said of Kate’s Windsor Castle appearance. “She came out of the car, she slammed the car door, she moved away quite quickly. It was William that actually extended his arm and invited Meghan to join in the conversation.”
Kate Middleton previously orchestrated getting Prince William and Prince Harry ‘in the same place’ at Prince Philip’s Windsor Castle funeral
Kate’s “out of the way” body language stood out to James in contrast to her movements at Windsor Castle only a year earlier. At Prince Philip’s 2021 funeral, Kate planned a reunion of sorts between William and Harry.
“The last time, or one of the biggest times, that we saw the brothers get together, which was at Philip’s funeral, it was very much Kate behind the scenes,” James said. “She was choreographing, nudging them, getting them in the same place, both men looked reluctant.”
