But Kate Middleton, being close to her own siblings, wants peace to reign between both brothers and their families so that her kids and Meghan’s kids can have a close relationship.
Duchess Kate Seeks Reconciliation with Meghan Markle
Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle have not been particularly close, but Kate’s efforts might lead to future reconciliation.
“Kate has been reaching out to Meghan a lot more since [Lilibet] was born, she’s sending [notes and] gifts and trying to build up a relationship,” a source exclusively shared with Us Weekly. “The firm has been instructing staffers to reach out more to Harry and Meghan to get them to soften a bit.”
Even before the Sussex couple permanently resigned from their roles as senior royals and moved across the ocean to base in Montecito, California, tensions have existed between Kate, 39, and Meghan, 39.
After their move, the Sussexes seemingly widened the rift when they sat down with Oprah for a tell-all interview that aired on CBS. In the interview, Meghan Markle and Harry told their story of what life was like for them within the firm and made a number of accusations against the royal family.

While talking about her experience with the royal family, Meghan blamed the press for complicating her relationship with her sister-in-law Kate. “If you love me, you don’t have to hate her. And if you love her, you don’t have to hate me,” she explained at the time.
Meghan also went on to allegedly set the record straight on the narrative that she made Kate cry a few days before her May 2018 wedding, claiming that the reverse actually happened.
“The reverse happened. … A few days before the wedding she was upset about flower girl dresses and it made me cry. It really hurt my feelings,” the former actress explained. “It was a really hard week of the wedding. And she was upset about something, but she owned it, and she apologized. And she brought me flowers and a note, apologizing.”
After the pre-recorded interview aired, a source told Us Weekly that Kate “feels that there was a misunderstanding” between her and the “Suits” alum.

The Beginning Of The Rift Between Kate Middleton And Meghan Markle
Meghan Markle distanced herself from Kate Middleton when their husbands started arguing. William reportedly tried to talk to Harry about Meghan bullying their staff and Harry flared up in defense of his wife, causing William to split their households.
“They were never that close, but the reason they’re not speaking is because of the rift between Prince Harry and Prince William,” the insider told Us. “Harry and William have communicated sparingly over the last year, but none of their communications have been friendly in quite some time. There is real animosity that the brothers have toward one another, and that has spilled over to Meghan and Kate’s relationship, making it very hard for them to be friends or even friendly.”
Even though the tension has been going on for a while, more of an effort has been made in recent times to fix the rift than ever before.
“We are all delighted by the happy news of the arrival of baby Lili,” William and Kate, who share Prince George, 7, Princess Charlotte, 6, and Prince Louis, 3, wrote via Instagram in a joint statement. “Congratulations to Harry, Meghan and Archie.”
During Kate’s royal outing on June 11 with first lady Dr. Jill Biden, she enthusiastically revealed that she can’t wait to meet Lilibet when an interviewer asked her if she had seen the newborn via FaceTime.
“We haven’t met her yet. I hope that will be soon,” she said.

Surprised the Princess would try to pet a snake.
If there is any truth to this, I strongly advise The Duchess of Cambridge, to tread very carefully where MM is concerned. Best to stay away from her altogether.
I feel for Catherine, of course she wanted to
Go to the unavailing of the statue. However saying she was dumped is rude.everyone knows she stayed away so M didn’t have anything to b***h about poor little M, they could have waited another six months until she felt ok to travel. ., like she couldn’t fly over for the funeral however there was no problem with her flying to New York ( when she was a week further along) for a baby shower that she canceled . It goes on & on.
