The Princess of Wales has ‘already moved on’ after being ‘baffled’ by Prince Harry’s claims in her explosive memoir, Spare, according to reports.
Kate, who turned 41 this week, reportedly ‘rejected’ the Duke of Sussex’s accusations against her in the book, including that she and Prince William ‘stereotyped’ Meghan Markle as a ‘biracial American actress’ .
Other charges against the Princess of Wales included detailed allegations about her split with the Duchess of Sussex, including what Prince Harry said was a text exchange between the days before Harry and Meghan’s wedding in a now infamous row on bridesmaid dresses.
But the Mirror reports that the Princess of Wales remains “totally immersed” in her royal duties and was unimpressed with Harry’s claims in the book.
The Princess of Wales (pictured visiting the Royal Liverpool University Hospital this week) is said to have ‘already moved on’ following claims in Prince Harry’s memoir which have ‘baffled’ her, according to reports
A source told the newspaper that Kate is busy continuing her work to improve the education and experiences of young children in the UK.
During her time as a senior royal, the mother-of-three championed early childhood development as one of her most important priorities.

In 2020 she launched The Royal Foundation Center for Early Childhood.
Writing in the Telegraph last November, she said: ‘I am determined to continue to shed light on this issue and to do all I can to put more emphasis on those crucial early years for the youngest members of our society – they are, after all, our future.
As the Royal Family reel in shock over Prince Harry’s claims in his book, the Princess of Wales is reportedly focusing on a new chapter in her plans – including the launch of a new program which will focus on children aged three at five.
The source said: “Of course there have been other distractions, but the princess has much more important things on her mind.” This is an important and exciting time.
This week, the Prince and Princess of Wales appeared to dismiss the charges against them in Harry’s memoir as they resumed their royal engagements on their first visit in 2023.
The royal couple arrived at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital in Merseyside, which opened to patients in October last year, to meet staff and patients.
Standing tall and dressed in coordinating navy and green outfits, the couple kept it professional as they shook hands with well-wishers.
Kate even posed for a few selfies, before joking she would be “scolded” by William.
Prince Harry, 38, claimed in his book that the Prince and Princess of Wales did not welcome his wife Meghan Markle into the Royal Family.
He also claimed that before meeting Meghan and living at Frogmore Cottage, Kate and William did not invite him to dinner despite living only a stone’s throw from the Kensington Palace estate.
The Duke of Sussex also revealed what he claimed were tense text messages between Kate and Meghan in the days leading up to Harry and Meghan’s wedding in 2018, regarding Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress.
Harry wrote that Kate texted Meghan to say: ‘Charlotte’s dress is too big, too long, too baggy. She cried when she tried it on a house.
He added that Meghan allegedly told him to visit her tailor to have the dress refitted, before Kate allegedly responded to the “all dresses must be remade” request.
The Duke claims the exchange left Meghan “sobbing on the floor”.
But according to the Duke of Sussex, the rift between the sisters-in-law began long before the wedding as he detailed an incident involving lip gloss ahead of the so-called ‘Fab Four’ first appearance at the Royal Foundation Forum Summit in 2018.
According to the Duke of Sussex, Meghan asked Kate if she could borrow some lip gloss before the four took the stage, which Kate obliged.
However, Harry claimed that as Meghan applied the gloss with her finger, Kate had a “disgusted” look on her face.
