The Princess of Wales has “already moved on” after being reportedly “stunned” by Prince Harry’s claims in his bombshell memoir Spare.
Kate, who turned 41 this week, has reportedly “dismissed” the Duke of Sussex’s allegations against her in the book, including that she and Prince William “stereotyped” Meghan Markle as a “multiracial American actress”.
Other allegations leveled against the Princess of Wales have included detailed claims about her rift with the Duchess of Sussex, including what Prince Harry said was a text exchange between the few days before Harry and Meghan’s wedding in a now infamous row over bridesmaid dresses .
But the Mirror reports that the Princess of Wales remains “completely absorbed in her royal duties” and is largely unfazed by Harry’s claims in the book.

A source told the newspaper Kate is busy continuing her work to improve early childhood education and experiences for children in the UK.
During her time as a Senior Royal, the mother of three has championed the development of the early years as one of her top priorities.

In 2020 she founded The Royal Foundation Center for Early Childhood.
She wrote in the Telegraph last November: “I am determined to continue to shed light on this issue and to do everything in my power to give the youngest members of our society a much greater focus on these first crucial years – they are, after all our future.’
With the royal family shaken by Prince Harry’s claims in his book, the Princess of Wales is said to be focusing on a new chapter in her projects – including launching a new program that will focus on children between the ages of three and five.
The source said: “Of course there were other distractions but the princess had far more important things on her mind. It is an important and exciting time.”
This week, the Prince and Princess of Wales appeared to shrug off allegations leveled against them in Harry’s memoir as she resumed royal engagements on her first visit in 2023.
The royal couple arrived at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital in Merseyside, which opened its doors to patients in October last year, to meet with staff and patients.
Standing firm and clad in coordinated navy and green outfits, the couple remained professional as they shook hands with the well-wishers.
Kate even posed for a few selfies before joking that she would be “cancelled” by William.
Prince Harry, 38, claimed in his book that the Prince and Princess of Wales did not welcome his wife Meghan Markle to the royal family.
He also claimed that before he met Meghan and lived at Frogmore Cottage, Kate and William hadn’t invited him over for dinner, despite living just a stone’s throw away on the Kensington Palace estate.
The Duke of Sussex also revealed what he believed to be 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 trying it on a house.
He added that Meghan reportedly told her to visit her tailor to have the dress remade before Kate reportedly responded to the request that “all the dresses need to be remade”.
The Duke claims the exchange left Meghan “on the floor sobbing”.
But according to the Duke of Sussex, the rift between the sisters-in-law began well before the wedding, when he revealed an incident involving lip gloss before the so-called “Fab Four”‘s 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, to which Kate obliged.
However, Harry claimed that Kate had a “disgusted” look on her face while Meghan applied the gloss with her finger.
