Kate Middleton has reportedly refused a reunion with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and ended her ties with the prince [1, 2].
This shift marks a significant deepening of the rift within the British royal family, suggesting that previous attempts at reconciliation may have failed. The move isolates the Sussexes further from the core working monarchy in London [1, 2].
Reports indicate the breakdown in the relationship followed a BBC interview Prince Harry gave in May 2025 [2]. During that appearance, Harry made controversial comments regarding the health of King Charles, which reportedly strained relations and left the Princess of Wales feeling stung [2, 3].
Christopher Andersen said that Kate was "done" with Prince Harry [2]. He said the Princess likely felt a strong emotional impact from the comments made during the broadcast [3].
The tension stems from the perceived breach of trust regarding the King's private medical information. The fallout has led to a reported stalemate, with the Princess of Wales signaling she does not want a reunion with the couple [1].
While the royal household often maintains a public front of unity, these reports highlight the internal friction that persists. The decision to end ties reflects a personal boundary set by the Princess of Wales following the events of last year [2, 3].

The reported severance of ties indicates that the damage caused by Prince Harry's May 2025 interview extends beyond the King and into his relationship with his sister-in-law. By refusing a reunion, the Princess of Wales is effectively closing a key diplomatic channel that could have facilitated a return to royal duties or a public reconciliation for the Sussexes.
