Kate Middleton was more than just her brother's girlfriend to Harry of Sussex, Harry considered his sister-in-law a sister (until Meghan Markle arrived).
Of everything that has been told about the story that Enrique de Sussex gives of his life in his memoirs one of the most shocking episodes has been the story he gives of the wedding of Kate Middleton with her brother, Prince William.
The heir to the throne is portrayed by Harry as a groom who arrives at the altar smelling of rum and the Duke of Sussex himself defines his role as best man at that wedding as a paripé: neither the groom nor the bride wants to give him that role. This a strange anecdote if we take into account that at that time Harry still considered his sister-in-law as a "second sister", a good harmony that remained until Meghan Markle came into his life.
