Princess Catherine (Kate Middleton) plans to privately extend an olive branch to Meghan Markle: Last resort.
Recent reports, primarily from tabloid sources like RadarOnline (picked up by outlets such as The News International), claim that Princess Catherine (Kate Middleton) is considering privately reaching out to Meghan Markle to extend an “olive branch.” The motivation appears tied to a desire to facilitate a reconciliation between Prince William and Prince Harry, especially given concerns about King Charles III’s health.
Key details from the January/February 2026 coverage:
- A source told RadarOnline that Kate views Meghan as a potential “ally” in reuniting the brothers while their father is still around.
- She’s reportedly willing to open dialogue despite past tensions and even against William’s opposition to reconciling with the Sussexes.
- The phrase “last resort” is used in headlines, implying this outreach is a reluctant or final option after years of estrangement and “silent treatment.”
- Kate is described as entering 2026 with “peace and love in her heart,” prioritizing family harmony after her own health challenges.
This story echoes similar past rumors (e.g., olive branch attempts linked to events like US trips in 2022 or Christmas 2025), but the latest iteration frames it as a fresh development for 2026.
Other recent royal reconciliation narratives include:
- King Charles reportedly pushing for 2026 as a “year of reconciliation,” with suggestions that Kate help get William on board ahead of potential Sussex visits to the UK.
- Speculation around Meghan’s actions (like wearing a friendship bracelet at Sundance 2026) interpreted by some as subtle olive branches from her side.
- Counter-reports of ongoing tensions, such as Meghan feeling “overshadowed” by William and Kate’s possible US engagements, or William signaling no interest in mending fences during Harry’s recent UK court appearances.
These stories largely stem from anonymous “insiders” in tabloid and entertainment media, which often amplify royal drama without official confirmation from Kensington Palace or the Sussexes. No public statements or verified actions have substantiated active peace talks or outreach as of early February 2026.
The royal rift remains complex, with little evidence of major progress beyond speculative reports. If true, any private contact would likely stay discreet.
