Harry stated his father and brother were stuck in the firm during a shocking appearance with Oprah earlier this year. Meanwhile, the couple claimed that one of the Royal Family members had questioned Harry about their unborn child's skin colour. Prince William is believed to be still furious about the televised interview, which was watched by nearly 17 million people.

Distress and some more

One of the close sources of the couple revealed that Kate has been ‘really, really upset about it all.’ Apparently, the alleged rift and the tension that Prince William has with Harry still bothers him a lot. A close friend of Duchess claimed,

Everything with Harry and Meghan has been hugely stressful. But if anything, it's pulled [her and William] closer together.

According to the source, the mother of three has suffered to watch her husband so upset over this supposed feud with his brother. They further added,

She was upset about it because [William] was so upset. Seeing her husband so distraught was tough.

Cambridge's stick to tradition

While the rift between the brothers goes on, the Cambridges have ensured not to drag their kids in between. Reportedly, the couple will still send Christmas presents to both Archie and newborn Lilibet. In recent years, Harry and William's connection has been increasingly strained, resulting in a frosty relationship between the brothers. However, Kate assumes the role of the homemaker. As Kate deals with cruel situations with grace, a source close to her commented,

She's no pushover. She has an inner strength for sure.
