PRINCESS Kate may be edging towards "peace" with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, a royal expert has claimed.

The Princess of Wales, 42, wrote the letter to guests set to attend her Christmas carol concert at Westminster Abbey on Friday.

In it, she reflected on the true meaning of the festive period and called for "love, not fear" as well as kindness and empathy.

On the latest episode of The Sun's Royal Exclusive Show, royal reporter Bronte Coy suggested Kate's words could be a sign that she's willing to forgive Harry and Meghan.

She said: "There's a real emphasis on empathy, understanding and forgiveness.

"There has been some suggestion that this could be a subtle edging towards peace.

"Potentially towards two members of the family [who are] US-based."

Royal reporter Richard Palmer, who accompanied Bronte on the show, echoed her thoughts - but struggled to get confirmation from inside sources.

He added: "I did think that when I saw 'forgiveness'...

"I tried to sound out people close to [Kate] but they were adamant that they weren't offering any guidance on what was the message behind the message."

Kate has been taking time off from her royal duties while she bravely underwent cancer treatment.

But she revealed last month she was well enough to host her annual festive extravaganza.

This year’s concert — to be screened on Christmas Eve — will have added poignancy after both Kate and King Charles, 75, have been treated for cancer.

Suitably, the show at London’s Westminster Abbey will include 1,600 unsung heroes who have helped their family and friends or have given up their time to ­volunteer.

Palace aides have said the service will “provide a moment to reflect upon the importance of love and empathy, and how much we need each other, especially in the most difficult times of our lives”.

It comes after Prince William recently described the past year as “dreadful”.

This will be the fourth year Kate has hosted Together at Christmas.

Rugby player Rob Burrow’s widow Lindsey and former Olympic champion cyclist Sir Chris Hoy — who has terminal cancer — will light candles at the service in on Friday.

Families and survivors of the Southport attack will also attend.

Kate tells them: “The Christmas story encourages us to consider the experiences and feelings of others.

"It encourages us to turn to love.

"It is this love which is the greatest gift we can receive.

"Love is the light that can shine bright, even in our darkest times."

Kate said in September she had completed chemotherapy.
