Kate Middleton reportedly still harbors deep feelings of resentment toward Meghan Markle and Prince Harry following her explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021 New York Post.

“Kate has drawn a hard line in the sand – she won’t change her mind,” a source said.

“They never apologized for their lies. But for William it’s harder because Harry is his brother. It’s a terrible situation all around.”
