Kate Middleton’s relationship with her sister-in-law, Meghan Markle, is rocky, to put it lightly. Even though they never had a public fallout, news of the discord between them often made its way to the public. Moreover, the ripples of the aftermatch could be felt by everyone within the Royal Family, and it became the subject of speculation among the public.
The feud between the Princess of Wales and the Duchess of Sussex has been scrutinized to an extreme degree. Regardless, many feel that they should bury the hatchet, and turn over a new leaf. However, a source revealed that Markle allegedly feels that she is owed an apology by Middleton, whereas the Princess of Wales feels very differently about it.
New details emerge about the turbulent relationship between Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle
Both Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle married into the British Royal Family, and it caused a huge sensation at the time. Middleton came from an upper-middle-class family, with no aristocratic background, and she was called a ‘commoner’. Markle’s marriage to Prince Harry caused an even bigger wave since she was a person of black descent and a divorcee, who pursued a career in acting.
The trajectory of their lives could not be more different, though. Prince William is in line to become the future King of England, with Middleton by his side as the Queen. Markle and Prince Harry stepped down as senior members of the Royal Family in 2020.
Middleton and Markle’s strenuous relationship played a big part in it. Harry spilled the beans in his memoir, Spare, which came out in 2023. He documented an instance where the Princess of Wales left his wife crying on the floor after allegedly arguing over bridesmaids’ dresses.
Middleton became a princess when she married William in 2011. Markle married Prince Harry in 2018, but the relationship between the women has always been fraught with tension. Now, given the circumstances, Tom Quinn, the royal expert, opened up to The Mirror and gave an insight into their thought processes.
“Kate definitely doesn’t want an apology, but Meghan definitely does. William just thinks the whole thing is a storm in a teacup and can’t understand why his brother can’t get over the sort of spat that many brothers have to go through. Meghan and Harry feel hurt by the way they were treated when they were working members of the royal family and William and Kate feel they were treated poorly once Harry and Meghan left and Harry published Spare,” he said.
Prince William and Princess Kate are trying to put their differences behind them and start over. They have even extended an olive branch, and it remains to be seen if the Duke and Duchess of Sussex accept.
Can the feud between Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle end?
The Princess has been in the news a lot of late. There were rumors about her alleged disappearance, leading to the spread of conspiracy theories like wildfire on social media. The Royal family was plunged deeper into the controversy when an allegedly edited photo of the Princess was shared by Kensington Palace.
The truth came out finally, and unfortunately, Middleton was diagnosed with cancer, a few weeks after King Charles’ own diagnosis. These are trying times for her and the family, and she needs all the help and support she can get. Middleton’s mother is helping her out of course, even if it comes with a price.
Middleton would appreciate Markle’s support too. The Prince and Princess have reached out to Markle and Prince Harry so they can bring their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, to the UK. However, the Mirror reported that Markle refused.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are not close to the Royal Family anymore. But can they put their differences aside and reconcile?
