Kate Middleton has reportedly found finds Prince Harry’s bitter setbacks “very difficult to watch”, and has reached out to offer her support to the Duke.

The Duke of Sussex is thought not to have spoken to his brother following the damning accusations he made against him in his January memoir Spare.

However, a source now reveals how Kate Middleton has reached out to Harry to offer her support during what has been a really difficult time for him.

The insider told Closer that Kate has been in touch with Harry to tell him to keep his chin up and not worry too much about these temporary setbacks.

“Harry’s relationship with Kate has remained intact and it means an awful lot to Harry that she continues to show support and especially during desperate times like this when the chips are down.

“She feels very sorry for him right now. Seeing him go through all these setbacks is very difficult to witness and it tugs at her heartstrings – especially as his court trial is taking place so close to their home.”

Harry was last seen with the Royal Family in May at the Coronation of his father, King Charles, but was not seen to speak with William, Kate, his father or Camilla, before he jetted back to his Montecito family home later that afternoon to celebrate his son Archie’s fourth birthday.
