Prince Harry 'concerned' about family member after major 'betrayal' sees them turn their back

Prince Harry is said to be "concerned" over his relationship with one member of the Royal Family he was previously close with, who now "wants nothing to do with him".

Harry and his sister-in-law Princess Kate were once a close-knit pair, and the Duke was often seen in a trio alongside his older brother Prince William and Princess Kate. However, in recent years it appears the relationship between the brothers has become difficult and tense, causing a knock on effect to Harry and Kate's friendship.

A royal expert has now revealed that the Duke is "concerned" about Kate, but reluctant to reach out as "he's been given the cold shoulder" and worries he'd be met with the same again.

Royal expert Christopher Anderson told Us Weekly: "I think there was once a relationship, a friendship, a very close one between Harry and Kate. I'm sure he’s concerned about her as well, but I know that she wants to have nothing to do with them."

Describing the relationship between the two couples as "stalemate", with neither side willing to make the first move to try and heal their relationship, Anderson added: "Every time he’s gone there, he’s been given the cold shoulder and he’s aware of that, I think he fears it’ll just be the same situation all over."

Outside of their family drama, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex signed an exclusive £80million contract with Netflix after stepping down from the Royal Family as they worked on becoming financially independent. However, the deal was only supposed to last for five years, meaning it's due to expire next year and the future of their relationship with Netflix has been hanging in the balance.

Netflix co-chief Ted Sarandos has now broken his silence and admitted he wants the Sussexes to keep creating content for Netflix. Ted said he's happy with how viewers seem to "devour" content the Duke and Duchess create. He told Forbes: "The documentary we did on them is still one of our most-watched documentaries of all time on Netflix and huge, particularly in the UK, where people just devour everything about them. They’re controversial, but that's usually a good thing."

Ted also praised Harry and Meghan for being "great at getting attention" as he called them "very strong storytellers". He added: "You may love them or hate them, but you're watching."

Netflix Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria also teased there are a few more things to come from Meghan and Harry before they part ways with the company. She said: "Oh, what are they working on. They actually have a bunch in development. They have a couple of unscripted things they're working on with Brandon [Reigg]. And they actually have like a bunch of development, they have a movie in development, a [scripted] series that they're working on."
