Kate Middleton is “incredibly hurt” by Prince Harry’s decision to quit his royal role.

Prince William, Prince Harry and Middleton were very close before the Duke of Sussex met and married Meghan Markle. In fact, Prince Harry was always third wheeling to his brother and sister-in-law. But that changed when Markle joined the picture.

Initially, royal fans were hoping that the royal trio would become the fab four since they were expecting to see Prince William, Middleton, Prince Harry and Markle together. However, the royal couples decided to split. And just recently, Prince Harry and Markle announced that they are quitting their royal roles which left the Duchess of Cambridge very hurt.

“When Harry was feeling low or had problems, William was always there for him, as was Kate,” a source told Us Weekly.

“Kate’s incredibly hurt too. She acted as a mentor to Harry before Meghan came into the picture and hates seeing her husband so upset.”

The insider added that the future heir apparent was also disappointed with his sibling’s decision. Prince William has always been there for his younger brother, but he felt that Prince Harry has forgotten that.

“William’s done everything in his power to help his brother over the years and feels totally let down by his ‘reckless’ and ‘selfish’ actions. The way he sees it, Harry’s thrown all the good advice he gave him back in his face,” the source continued.

Prince William is now reportedly angry at Prince Harry. Meanwhile, according to another source, Prince Harry and Markle were being selfish with their decision to turn their backs from the royal family. Following their resignation, Prince William and Middleton are expected to take more workload.

Prior to Prince William, Middleton and Prince Harry’s falling-out, the latter has nothing but praises for his brother and sister-in-law. In fact, he said that he was delighted when Prince William proposed to Middleton because it would mean he would get a sister since he had always wanted one.

Meanwhile, Markle’s half-sister Samantha felt that she was vindicated. She said that Markle just wrecked the royals the same way she ruined their own family, the Markles.
