Kate Middleton: Harry's 'Big Sister' He Never Had
24 Mar
Summary
- Prince Harry described Kate as carefree, sweet, and kind in his memoir.
- Kate helped Harry and William choose outfits for a 'Natives and Colonials' party.
- Harry felt Kate was a good match for his older brother, William.
In his 2023 memoir, Spare, Prince Harry detailed his early admiration for Kate Middleton, referring to her as 'the big sister he never had.' He first met her when she was dating his brother, Prince William, at the University of St. Andrews in the early 2000s.
Harry described Kate as carefree, sweet, and kind. She notably helped him and William choose outfits for a 'Natives and Colonials' themed fancy-dress party, an event Harry admitted to disliking.
He also wrote about enjoying making Kate laugh and connecting with her 'silly side.' Upon William and Kate's marriage on April 29, 2011, Harry expressed happiness that she would be a permanent part of William's life.
However, circumstances have changed significantly since their wedding. Following Harry and Meghan's departure from royal duties in 2020 and the release of Spare, the future of reconciliation between Harry and the Wales family remains uncertain.
