Prince Harry ‘concerned’ about Kate Middleton’s stories: Source
Prince Harry is concerned about the press surrounding his sister-in-law, a source tells Page Six, but that hasn’t stopped him from hitting the slopes on a luxury ski holiday.
Our insider says the red-headed princess who fled to California from Buckingham Palace was “distracted” with anxiety by the headlines surrounding Kate Middleton and her mysterious retreat from public life.
But the source also tells us that Harry believes “any hint of scandal is untrue.”
The prince, whose mother was Princess Diana, detailed his painful and rocky history with the press.
Middleton – who had not been seen since December until his appearance at a farmhouse this week – had been the subject of speculation after having what Kensington Palace said was “planned abdominal surgery” in January.
Prince Harry’s relationship with Prince William has become strained, which was detailed in his January 2022 book, Spare Parts.
Meanwhile, Harry was spotted walking the slopes in ritzy Aspen, Colorado last week.
The Duke of Suss*x was seen having breakfast at Bonnie’s, a popular lodge located on Snowma*s Mountain, last week.
We’re told his wife Meghan Markle, who has just launched the American Riviera Orchard lifestyle brand, was not with him.
According to a report in the Daily Mail, Harry was in town with Kris Jenner’s friend Corey Gamble, as well as Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe and her husband, Texas oil heir Michael Hurd.
A source told Page Six that Harry was also seen shopping at the celebrity spot Kimo Sub.
The Western store is already a favorite of Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Rihanna, Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry.
Jeff Bezos is a big fan of the store. In 2018, Page Six reported that the billionaire turned cowboy and rode his horse to the store.
Aside from Aspen, rumors grew last week over a doctored photo of Middleton and her children.
Several of Kate Middleton’s senior staff have reportedly not been in contact with her amid growing concern about the Princess of Wales’s health.
Rumors have also resurfaced about an alleged affair between Prince William and a high society friend, Lady Rose Hanbury.
But conspiracy theories have peaked, with the married Marchioness of Cholmondeley telling Business Insider – through her lawyer – that rumors she had an affair with William are “completely false”.
Over the weekend, the Princess of Wales was spotted on a rare outing with Prince William on a farm, following her recent photo scandal. (Although some internet trolls, and Bravo host Andy Cohen, pointed out that this wasn’t the real Kate at the farm stand.)
Kensington Palace originally announced that Middleton would resume public duties after Easter.
Prince Harry’s representative did not immediately respond to us.
