Prince William and Prince Harry's feud to continue over Christmas as Princess Kate steps back

The relationship between the couple and Harry has deteriorated over recent years as the Sussexes have taken several public digs at the Royal Family.

In January, Prince Harry released his autobiography Spare which contained multiple attacks on William and his brother's wife.

Royal commentator Jennie Bond claimed the Princess of Wales will not play peacemaker in the ongoing feud and that it will not be resolved in the coming months.

Bond Fabulous: "Catherine was deeply hurt by some of the things Harry said about her, particularly in his book, and unfortunately because of these entrenched positions where neither side seems to want to make contact or the first move, I can’t see this rift healing any time soon.

"Catherine has played the peacemaker in the past and has brought William and Harry together, and I think that comes from her own family, and their values.

"But I think she has got to a stage whereby she has had to take a step back, things have gone too far, and she feels upset and, quite frankly, hurt and insulted."

Earlier this month, an insider told Closer Magazine that William and Kate "resent" the Sussexes over the extra workload they have had to take on as a result of Megxit.

The source said: "Prince William and Kate are feeling incredibly resentful towards Meghan and Harry for leaving them to pick up the work they dropped when they moved to the States.

"The extra workload that's been handed to them is huge.

"It's given them even more responsibility, but also had a huge impact on their marriage and family life, and at times it can feel like they are cracking under this relentless pressure.

"With less time at home together and having to spend more time apart, they feel constantly torn apart in different directions and they insist that wouldn't be happening if Harry and Meghan hadn't abandoned their royal duties."
