Who’s calling the shots?
Prince Harry speaking with sister-in-law Kate Middleton behind wife Meghan Markle’s back is allegedly a royal no-no.
Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield refuted The Mirror’s recent report that Middleton, 41, “feels sorry” for Harry, 38, and supports him through secret, late-night phone calls.
The connection between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the Prince and Princess of Wales has been strained for years — especially since Harry and Markle stepped down as senior members of the royal family in 2020.
On her podcast “To Di For Day by day,” Schofield alleged that Harry is attempting to act “defiant” amid the continued family drama.
“I personally don’t consider that Harry would speak to Catherine privately without Meghan’s blessing,” she added.
She also claimed that William, 41, and Middleton are too “laser-focused on their goals” to fret about Harry and Markle’s hoopla and have “made it a degree to distance themselves.”
“A major amount of William’s unhappiness toward Harry revolves around Harry and Meghan discussing Catherine so openly to Oprah and inside ‘Spare,’” Schofield told Fox News on Monday, referencing Harry’s bombshell tell-all memoir.
“Catherine could be very respectful of Prince William’s feelings and wouldn’t go behind his back,” she added.
The Post has contacted reps for Harry, Markle, and Kensington Palace for comment.
The remarks got here after an unidentified source told OK! Magazine that Middleton won’t ever have the opportunity to forgive Markle for the “damage” she attributable to speaking in regards to the royal family in a jaw-dropping sit-down with Oprah Winfrey in 2021.
“Kate has drawn a tough line within the sand — she’s not changing her mind about them,” the insider claimed.
“They never apologized for his or her lies. But it surely’s harder for William because Harry is his brother. It’s a horrible situation throughout.”
Adding insult to the Winfrey wound, Harry branded William his “arch-nemesis” in “Spare.”
“There has at all times been this competition between us, weirdly,” Harry told Michael Strahan on “Good Morning America” while promoting the book’s publication in January. “I believe it really plays into — or is played by — the ‘heir, spare.’”
