(NewsNation) — Reports swirled last week that Princess Catherine — otherwise known as Kate Middleton — had reached out to Prince Harry on his 40th birthday, and some even suggested Kate would meet him in private during Harry’s quick trip to London this week.

Kate Middleton and King Charles ‘not doing very well’: Sources
A lovely thought — but I’m told it’s all fantasy.

Kate Middleton no longer playing peacemaker: source
My impeccable palace source told me, “It’s simply not true. While Kate has played peacemaker with Harry and William in the past but not now (that was before Harry spilled tea on Kate alleging she incited him to wear a Nazi costume and was rude to his wife, Meghan Markle. Middleton was also furious when it was later alleged she and King Charles were the royal racists mentioned in Harry and Meghan’s Oprah Winfrey interview — allegations that only came out after his pal, Omid Scobie, released his book ‘Endgame’ which wasn’t edited properly in the Netherlands and revealed their names).”

Prince Harry’s 40th birthday
While the Palace issued a statement on Harry’s birthday, my source said, “They often do this for major birthdays — for everyone. You’ll notice it wasn’t signed by Catherine, William, the King or the Queen (Camila). It was generic.”

I’m also told that the late Queen Elizabeth — who laid out instructions for Harry’s split with the royal family — would be “very disappointed in (her grandson)… he has disrespected her wishes over and over since she died and refuses to accept that he can’t have round the clock, immediate police protection paid for by the taxpayers any time he wants.”

The problem is Meghan’ Markle
But while Harry definitely wants to repair relations with his family, my source said, “The problem is Meghan. Her motivation is money and prestige. Look how she insists on using her Duchess title on her stationery — and insisted on Prince and Princess for her children. It’s complete hypocrisy. To say you want out of the family but insist on keeping your titles? It’s all about commercialism and money for her.”

Other members of the royal family — like Princess Anne’s daughter Zara refused titles for themselves and their children… and still work for “The Firm.”

“It’s all preposterous. Some day Harry may wake up and come around — but he’s not at that point yet.”
