Kate Middleton is reportedly growing increasingly concerned for Prince Harry following the downward spiral he and his wife Meghan Markle seem to have found themselves in amid claims Harry is looking to return to the UK.
It comes after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's $20 million Spotify deal was axed and their Netflix documentary was snubbed from being awarded an Emmy nomination despite being an overall success with the streaming giant upon its release.
And it's claimed that Kate feels 'terrible about the ex-working royal couple's downward spiral of rejection as sources who spoke to Heat Magazine say: "Kate feels terrible that the royals and Harry are at this current impasse with so little contact between them".
"She blames Meghan for it almost entirely and the longer it goes on the more it upsets and frustrates her," the insider continued.
The magazine's source claimed the future queen has been following her in-laws and "can see it written all over Harry's face that, deep down, he can't really be happy."
Mum-of-three Kate allegedly believes that Prince Harry has been "backed into a corner and she just can't see the old carefree brother in-law she knew and loved". However, Kate is now reportedly "turning up the heat".
The source added: "Kate's let it be known to the palace aides who still speak to the Sussexes that she thinks it's an extremely poor show the way Harry's being treated. But Meghan is furious and thinks Kate has no right getting involved in her marriage- she would never dream of interfering between her and William."
Speaking of Meghan, the source says: "Just because she's burnt all her bridges with the palace why does she have to bring Harry down with her? The whole thing stinks and Kate is turning up the heat, hoping it spurs Harry into sticking up for himself and snapping back to normal at long last".
Prince Harry is currently in the US with his wife Meghan and their two children - Princess Lillibet and Prince Archie - although it appears their Californian dream hasn't quite panned out as planned.
"Everybody misses the old happy Harry," says the insider. "Kate and William have lost count of the number of friends who have remarked about how sad the situation is."
"It's also a bewildering topic for their kids who thought the world of their Uncle Harry. This summer would have been a perfect time for family bonding- Birthdays are coming up and there are all kinds of things Harry is missing out on.
"Kate's assumed that is because he is effectively banned from spending quality time in England by Meghan, or that he doesn't dare to leave for more than a few days at a time"
