Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle once had a promising relationship, but they don’t speak today. Initially, Meghan, a former Suits star, was warmly welcomed into the royal family. However, tensions grew, leading to a strained relationship.

When Meghan started her royal duties, the public reacted positively, which reportedly upset William and Kate. Authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand, in their book “Finding Freedom,” noted that while the two duchesses were not at odds initially, they never became close friends. Meghan hoped for Kate’s guidance, but that did not happen, leading to disappointment.

In a Netflix show, Meghan recalled an awkward first meeting with Kate, highlighting cultural differences. Before Meghan and Harry’s wedding, tensions flared over flower girl dresses, with Meghan saying Kate made her cry. Kate later apologized with flowers and a note.

Post-wedding, Harry and Meghan lived in Nottingham Cottage, which was modest compared to William and Kate’s residence. This disparity surprised Meghan, contributing to the couple’s growing tensions.

Royal expert Robert Jobson suggests Meghan’s initial popularity may have caused jealousy within the family. Despite past conflicts, Meghan is reportedly ready to reconcile, seeking apologies from the royal family. Whether this will happen remains uncertain.
