Kate Middleton, Prince William Focusing On Supporting Queen, Not Thinking About Harry, Meghan: Report

Kate Middleton and Prince William are prioritizing their royal duties and their children rather than the royal family's drama with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, a royal expert says.

A number of royal experts and insiders claimed that the Duke of Sussex and the Duke of Cambridge have yet to patch things up despite having reunited twice this year. Amid the alleged tension, Prince William and Middleton are focusing their energy on important matters rather than the reported feud with Prince Harry and Markle, according to royal expert and True Royalty TV founder Nick Bullen.

"I think the depths of the sadness and split between the two brothers is incredibly deep and incredibly raw, and I think it’s going to take a lot to get the two of them back together," Bullen told Us Weekly Tuesday.

He continued, "I think at the moment William and Kate are focusing on their work, focusing on the children, focusing on supporting [Queen Elizabeth II]. I don’t know, but I don’t think they spend a lot of time thinking about the Harry and Meghan situation."

According to Bullen, Prince William and Middleton want to divert attention back to the royal family's work in the Commonwealth by acting as ambassadors for the monarch.

"I think [over] the next 12 months, the Cambridges will be very much about supporting the queen. Next year is the queen’s Platinum Jubilee year," Bullen explained. "All the members of the royal family are very aware of the fact that it’s her year. They’re going to support her, you know, the headlines shouldn’t be about them. The headlines next year should be about the queen in her 70th year [of ruling]. So I think you will see Kate and William really stepping up to support the queen over the next 12 months."

The royal expert pointed out that Prince Harry and Markle have already made a "new life" for themselves in California separate from Prince William and Middleton. While the two princes will always be brothers, their relationship is currently distant, Bullen claimed.

"Harry really doesn’t seem to be spending a lot of time thinking about his impact on the family in the U.K.," Bullen added. "So I think they’re both, as Harry put it, on their own paths. They’ll always be brothers that always want to have some level of contact, but I think it’s pretty distanced at the moment from what I’m told by those close to them."

Royal correspondent Omid Scobie, co-author of the Sussex biography "Finding Freedom," had a similar take on the brothers' rift. He said in a recent interview that he believes Prince William and Prince Harry's relationship is "still very much one of distance."

"I don't just mean physical [distance], across the Atlantic, but they are not talking that much, and that is exactly how sources close to William have put it," Scobie told Entertainment Tonight.

The royal biographer claimed that there are "still feelings of anger" among the royal family toward Prince Harry and Markle over "the way the couple carried out their departure from their royal lives." According to Scobie, the experience is something Prince William "has not been able to come to terms with yet."
