A source close to Meghan Markle has revealed that the Duchess of Sussex has reached out to Kate Middleton in an attempt to mend their strained relationship. According to Closer magazine, Meghan is reportedly “desperate” to end the feud between the Sussexes and the Royal Family, aiming to come across as the “bigger person” and foster healing for all involved. The source suggests that Meghan’s motivation stems from empathy for Kate, understanding the difficult situation she faces, particularly with her recent cancer battle.
Meghan has reportedly expressed a strong desire to move past the “nonsense” and animosity, focusing on achieving reconciliation for everyone’s sake. While the source acknowledges that ultimately it’s not entirely up to Meghan and Harry, they are actively reaching out and offering olive branches.
Meghan and Kate’s relationship has been strained since Harry introduced Meghan to the Royal Family, as reported by the Daily Express. A disagreement over Princess Charlotte’s flower girl dress before Harry and Meghan’s wedding in 2018 led to a heated text exchange, leaving Meghan in tears. Kate subsequently sent Meghan flowers and a card to apologize for the incident. Despite this gesture, the relationship between the two couples continued to deteriorate.
Following their departure from royal duties in 2020 and subsequent move to the United States, Meghan and Harry have publicly criticized William and Kate on multiple occasions. Their most notable criticisms came in a 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey and in Harry’s 2023 autobiography, “Spare”. In contrast, Prince William and the Princess of Wales have maintained a dignified silence in response to these accusations.
