Kate and Meghan are missing the weekly royal FaceTime to give husbands space to heal the divide

After years of feuding between the two princes and their respective wives, Harry and William have closed the rift by reconnecting online. Harry will be flying back to England for the Queen’s Jubilee

Royal wives Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle have missed the weekly FaceTime between Harry and William to “give their husbands space” to heal the longstanding rift between them.

Prince William and Harry are healing their feud with weekly online messages and face-to-face chats ahead of their Queen’s Jubilee meeting.

But Kate and Meghan, both 40, have held back from the weekly calls, giving their husbands time to mend their relationship one-on-one.

Harry, Meghan and their two children will be flying back to the UK from their California home to attend the anniversary celebrations marking the 70th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign.

It will be the first time the 96-year-old Queen has met her granddaughter, 11-month-old Lilibet, and hasn’t seen Archie, three, since he was a baby.

Harry and Meghan stepped down from royal duties in 2020 and relocated to the United States.

Her interview with Oprah Winfrey about her time in the royal family rocked the monarchy with widespread reports of tensions between William and Harry.

But it seems the brothers are taking big steps to repair their relationship.

A source told the Sunday Mirror: “They have also had FaceTime calls with their children, which has allowed them to reconnect.

“William sees that Meghan is a good mother and a devoted wife and he’s really happy for his brother.

“It seems the two have healed the rift and gone back to their old pal terms.

“Meghan’s distance from Kate also helped heal the friction between the two men.”

The family rift once extended to Kate and Meghan’s relationship with Meghan, who previously claimed Kate made her cry during a bridesmaid dress fit for her 2018 wedding.

The Duchess of Cambridge and Duchess of Sussex’s decision to step away from family calls has seemingly helped the two brothers mend their own relationship.

It comes as Harry and Meghan are expected to throw a small party – just a short one – at their home in Windsor, Frogmore Cottage, for Lilibet’s first birthday, who turns one on Saturday 4 June drive from the Queen’s Castle Apartments.

William and Kate are unlikely to attend due to previous commitments, but Harry and Meghan will be hosting Lilibet’s godparents and close friends.
