Prince Harry and Kate Middleton used to have an extremely close relationship.

The Gist

• The Duke of Sussex once called his sister-in-law "the big sister he never had."

• In his 2023 memoir Spare, Harry described her in three words: carefree, sweet, and kind.

ThoughPrince HarryandPrince William'songoing rifthas no doubt cooled relations between the younger brother and his sister-in-lawKate Middleton, most royals fans can remember a time when the trio were extraordinarily close. Indeed, it was not so long ago that Harry referred to the Princess of Wales as "the big sister he never had."

The duo met back when William and Kate were college sweethearts at the University of St. Andrews in the early 2000s. Harry later recalled the moment he met his brother's future wife in his 2023 memoirSpare, noting that he "liked" her and that she could be described in three simple words: carefree, sweet, and kind.

Elsewhere inSpare, Harry mentioned that Kate had done a gap year in Florence, Italy, "and had an interest in photography, art, and clothes," according toHello!. To that end, the future princess helped William and Harry pick out outfits for a "fancy-dress birthday party" with a "cringy" theme: "Natives and Colonials."

"Harry, who admitted to disliking both fancy-dress parties and themes, was particularly unenthusiastic about this one," according toHello!. "However, William's new girlfriend, Kate, offered to help them find outfits."

Harry also wrote about how he enjoyed making Kate laugh and how he connected with her "heavily disguised silly side." And, when William and Kate (finally)tied the knoton April 29, 2011, the Duke of Sussex was reportedly "pleased that she'd forever be by William's side and how she was a good match for his older brother," according toHello!.

Much has changed in the years since those 2011 nuptials, however. Following Harry and Meghan'sexit from the royal familyin 2020 and the release of his aforementioned bombshell memoirSpare, it remains unclear whether or notreconciliationis in the cards for the Duke of Sussex.

Savannah Guthrieshared a statement on a local Tucson, Arizona, station on Sunday (March 22), making a new public plea for the return of her 84-year-old mother,Nancy Guthrie, who has been missing for over seven weeks.

Former FBI agent Jason Pack spoke toPage Sixabout Savannah's latest plea, noting how it was a "deliberate" tactic to reach the kidnapper following a lack of updates from investigators. "The family chose a local television station, not a national platform. That is not an accident," Pack told the outlet.

Nancy, the mother ofTodayco-hostSavannah, has beenmissing since January 31,when police believe she was abducted from her home in Tucson, Arizona. Since then, investigators have releaseddoorbell camera footageof a masked suspect andshared a descriptionof the potential abductor.

Pack said that NBC and its platforms would likely have aired Savannah's latest plea if she'd asked. Instead, "They targeted their own neighborhood. That tells you they believe someone local has information, or more likely, someone local has not checked their cameras yet because they assumed somebody else already did."

Savannah's plea aired on the local Tucson station KVOA, in which she said, "We are deeply grateful for the outpouring from neighbors, friends and the people of Tucson. We are all family now."

She added, "We continue to believe it is Tucsonans, and the greater southern Arizona community, that hold the key to finding resolution in this case. Someone knows something. It's possible a member of this community has information that they do not even realize is significant."

Savannah urged people to focus on the timelines of "January 31," the early morning of "February 1," as well as "the late evening of January 11."

"We desperately ask this community for renewed attention to our mom's case – please consult camera footage, journal notes, text messages, observations or conversations that in retrospect may hold significance. No detail is too small. It may be the key," she stated.

Pack told Page Six that statements like this are needed to keep the case in the public consciousness, as it is an "uphill fight" to keep the investigation relevant when authorities haven't held a press conference in over a month.

"When investigators go dark, and the media moves on, tip volume likely drops. That is just the nature of it," he explained.

Pack noted that just because the case has seemingly gone quiet, it doesn't mean investigators aren't working around the clock. He noted that tasks such as "warrant returns, subpoena responses, lab work, and digital forensics" take time. However, he urged investigators to go back to Nancy's neighborhood and "collect and review footage themselves."

"Even when a resident says there is nothing on it," Pack stated. "The resident does not know what nothing looks like to a trained investigator. Sometimes the most important frame in an investigation is the one the homeowner already dismissed."

VATICAN CITY, March 24 (Reuters) - The Vatican said on Tuesday that Catholics can receive transplants ‌of animal tissues to address medical conditions, as ‌procedures involving genetically modified pig or cow organs continue to advance.

In an ​88-page document providing ethical guidelines for such transplants, the Vatican reaffirmed an earlier teaching and said the Church has no objection to such treatments, provided they follow best medical practices ‌and do not ⁠treat animals with cruelty.

"Catholic theology does not have preclusions, on a religious or ritual basis, ⁠in using any animal as a source of organs, tissues or cells for transplantation to human beings," the document said.

The ​text addressed ​xenotransplantation, or the transplanting of ​organs or tissues from ‌one species to another. The Vatican first greenlit such procedures in 2001, when they were in very early stages of development.

Animal organ transplants for human use are still rare. The first pig-to-human kidney transplant was carried out in the ‌United States in 2024.

The Vatican ​document, which was drafted with the ​help of doctors from ​Italy, the U.S. and the Netherlands, called ‌on scientists to pursue animal ​transplants in a ​manner that is "purposeful, proportionate and sustainable".

It also called on doctors to disclose the risks of animal transplants, ​including the probability ‌of rejection by a patient's immune system and the ​possibility of causing infection from microorganisms.
