Kate Middleton is reportedly finding it increasingly difficult to cope behind palace walls, as the ongoing rift between Prince Harry and Prince William appears to be having an emotional impact on their children.

The report cited royal insiders saying that Kate is upset that disputes among the adults have led to a lack of relationship between the young cousins. Reportedly, they have barely spent any time together since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped back from royal duties and moved to California.

According to another report by Geo TV News, Kate finds the situation 'unfair,' especially for the younger generation. In spite of the differences between the adults, she reportedly believes children should not bear the burden of family tensions. This separation has been a source of sadness for Kate, who had hoped her children would grow up with a close-knit extended family.
Both reports stated that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's strained relationship with the monarchy lies at the heart of the personal and public challenges the royals are facing. The couple's children, Archie and Lilibet, have had limited interaction with the wider royal family, including their grandfather, King Charles III.
