When Meghan, Duchess of Sussex first joined the royal family, there were a lot of talks about how she and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge did not get along. After Meghan became a mother for the first time, it was reported that she and Kate began bonding over being a parent.
However, Meghan’s recent departure from the royal family might have put a stop to the relationship that she and Kate managed to build. Now fans are wondering if the two sister-in-laws could ever be friends again.
Kate Middleton allegedly acted cold towards Meghan Markle at a recent event
Kate and Meghan came face to face at a service for Commonwealth Day a few weeks ago. Meghan and Prince Harry arrived at their seats first. When Kate and Prince William came, the Sussexes both smiled and said simple greetings. However, it did not seem like the Cambridges reciprocated their friendliness.
Body language expert Judi James noted that, unfortunately, it was clear that there was tension in the air. She said: “It wasn’t the warm reunion that we were all hoping for.”
She also pointed out that Meghan and Prince Harry seemed quite tense when Kate and Prince William were around, but they looked a lot more relaxed when interacting with other people.
Kate Middleton is said to be taking Meghan Markle’s departure ‘badly’
While it is well known that Prince Harry and Prince William do not have the best relationship right now, it is not clear why there is coldness between Kate and Meghan. Some sources believe that Kate is simply upset about everything that has happened in the past few months.
Royal correspondent Katie Nicholl told Vanity Fair that Middleton “has taken [Markle’s departure] all badly.”
Meanwhile, an insider told Us Weekly that Kate’s schedule is now more hectic with the Sussexes no longer around, which has not helped her mental health. The source said: “Kate’s in a panic and has been having bouts of anxiety. She barely has time to rest, and when she does try to sleep, her mind is constantly racing.”
