Kate Middleton Reportedly “Had Less Interest” Than Prince William in Prince Harry Remaining a Working Royal

Princess Catherine foresaw the family rift due to Meghan's reported staff treatment, media scrutiny, and structural tensions, with the Sussexes leaving royal duties by January 2020, Myers wrote.

  • Serialized extracts in The Mirror reveal Myers' new biography shows relations between William, Catherine, Harry, and Meghan disintegrated amid staff complaints and media pressure, due out on March 10, 2026.
  • Media coverage and public scrutiny, including a 2018 email, alleged Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, bullied staff; she denies this, while Oprah Winfrey reported concerns about her child's skin tone, later framed as unconscious bias by Harry.
  • Princess Catherine, Princess of Wales, came to regard Meghan as `abrasive` and warned the Sussexes were untrustworthy; she quietly stopped bridging the brothers as William felt he lost Harry and was deeply saddened.
  • Following their move, the family experienced a deepened rift as Harry and Meghan left their shared office in 2019 and quit royal duties by January 2020, leaving William convinced there was no turning back.
  • Myers frames the split as rooted in the heir-and-spare dynamic, with William pushing the monarchy to evolve beyond `tried and trusted methods`.
