A comment made by Prince Harry about Kate Middleton in his Netflix docuseries with Meghan Markle is said to have been the ‘lowest of the low’ for Prince William

Prince Harry made an awkward comment about Kate Middleton

Prince Harry’s dig at Kate Middleton was the “lowest of the low” for Prince William, according to a friend.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex released a six-part docuseries on Netflix, which made several shocking claims about life behind the Palace walls. Both William and King Charles were targeted in the show, with the former accused of “screaming and shouting” and the latter accused of “lying” during a high-profile summit.

However, it was the accusations seemingly aimed at Kate that were the “lowest of the low” for William. In the first episode, Harry suggested there was a temptation within the Royal Family to marry someone who “fits the mould”.

Harry said: “I think for so many people in the family, especially obviously the men, there can be a temptation or an urge to marry someone who would fit the mould as opposed to somebody who you perhaps are destined to be with.”

This comment, according to the book ‘Charles III New King. New Court. The Inside Story’ by Robert Hardman, was perceived by friends of the Royal Family as a clear reference to William and Kate. A friend told the author: “On top of all the other breaches of trust, here was Harry making a blatant attack on Catherine. For William, this was the lowest of the low.”

Harry continued his criticisms in his memoir, Spare. The Duke of Sussex revealed details of a rift between Kate and Meghan, revealing how Meghan’s alleged “baby brain” comment about Kate after she gave birth to Prince Louis have deepened the divide.

Harry also claimed Kate “grimaced” when Meghan asked to borrow her lip-gloss. Royal expert Jennie Bond told OK! magazine: “When you come from a happy, united family – as Catherine does – it’s incredibly hard to understand how people can become estranged.”

She added: “I think she believed the rift could be fixed and, after Prince Philip ‘s funeral, we saw her talking with Harry and obviously encouraging William to do the same. But we now know that it didn’t work.

“In fact, William and Harry had a blazing row right after the funeral. There comes a point when you just have to accept that happy families are not a game that.”

She continued: “Catherine has been hurt and insulted by things that Harry and Meghan have said, but she and William are a very strong team, and I suspect that, together, they’ve come to the conclusion that the rift with Harry cannot be fixed in the foreseeable future. They’ve closed their minds to that possibility and decided to get on with their lives.”
