In 2021, Kate Middleton gracefully handled an awkward question about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s newborn daughter, Lilibet, during an interview. The Princess of Wales, caught off guard, warmly wished her niece “all the very best” but admitted they hadn’t yet met—or even FaceTimed. This came amid ongoing tensions between the couples, with Harry and Meghan having accused William and Kate of bullying before their move to the U.S.
The resurfaced clip, shared around Lilibet’s fourth birthday, drew praise for Kate’s poised response. Fans applauded her for navigating the uncomfortable moment with kindness, despite the strained family dynamics. Many criticized the reporters for putting her on the spot, acknowledging the sensitivity of the situation. The exchange highlighted the lingering rift within the royal family, even as Kate maintained her composure.
