Having gone through cancer herself has given King Charles III.
The mom-of-three opened up about her cancer diagnosis in March 2024 and then in September, she penned an emotional message as she announced the end of her treatment and the good news about being cancer-free. In her message, which accompanied a touching video of her family of five, she spoke about the fragility of life and wrote, “Life as you know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown.”
Kate itted that her cancer journey has been a humbling experience, one that taught her “to be grateful for the simple yet important things in life, which so many of us often take for granted. Of simply loving and being loved.” She said it has given her “a new perspective on everything” and according to a source, that includes a new outlook on the deep rift between Harry and his family.
The Princess of Wales has long been touted as the peacemaker in the family — she once gave Prince William and the Duke of Sussex a chance to talk to each other after more than a year following Prince Philip’s funeral in 2021 — and so it’s no surprise that she would do it again, this time for the sake of their ailing father.
As such, it’s said that she’s very keen to play mediator because she “wants the family to reconcile.” The insider told Life & Style exclusively that “with the king’s health continuing to decline, there’s only so much time for that to happen” and so “Kate is on a mission to bring Harry home.”
She doesn’t want to wait and waste time knowing the unpredictability of the King’s cancer. Charles himself talked about the “uncertainties and anxieties of illness” in his Christmas speech when he shared his “heartfelt thanks to the selfless doctors and nurses” who took care of him and Kate, as well as other Royal Family this year.
“Kate doesn’t like waiting around for things to happen anymore. She’s learned life is too precious. She fears time is running out,” the source explained and claimed that “she’s already reached out to Harry, who was receptive.” The insider added that her prime agenda is to bring the younger Royal back to Britain and resolve the bad blood between father and son.
Coincidentally, the 42-year-old urged guests at this year’s “Together At Christmas” concert to live their lives “with an open heart, with love, kindness and forgiveness.” While she is yet to take Harry’s name in public, her heart-touching definition of love that is both “understanding” and “forgiving” has convinced many that she was talking about Harry and is already on her way to mend the broken Royal bridge.
Royal fans took Kate’s Christmas message as some kind of olive branch to Harry, who shared in an interview in 2023 that “the door’s always open” for a reconciliation with his family, but “the ball is in their court.” The last time the Duke saw Charles in person was in February 2024, when he flew to London shortly after learning of his cancer diagnosis. Here’s hoping that it won’t take another bad news to convince him to pack up and return to the U.K.
