If there’s one thing the Princess of Wales could always be counted on for, it’s not causing a fuss. Even in the face of stinging attacks from the British press in her early days of dating Prince William, Kate remained cool, calm, collected and silent. Recently, when her brother-in-law Prince Harry humiliated her by leaking private conversations between Kate and his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, she refused to take the bait.
“Kate has always been content to let William and the palace establishment lead the way in a crisis, and it was their decision not to fan the flames by making any comment on Harry’s allegations made in his book [Spare],” a source tells WHO.
“Kate has weathered a lot of nasty attacks in her 20 years of dating Wills, and everyone from the Queen down admired her for it. However, this one from Harry hit differently, and Kate, in her own quiet way, was determined to fight back.” It must be said that Kate’s once-pristine reputation among Brits suffered from the fallout of Harry’s book, with the princess slipping seven points in an Ipsos Mori popularity poll.
“Kate was devastated,” says a source. “She’s done nothing but tirelessly work for the crown and country, and didn’t deserve to be painted like an ice queen who hated Harry’s wife.”
While the palace works on their official strategy about “the Harry problem”, we’re told Kate has hatched her own plan – to win back the hearts and minds of Britain, while striding confidently into a new era at the forefront of the monarchy.
