Why a friendship Kate Middleton-Meghan Middleton-Meghan "was never going to happen"

"They did what they had to do to follow appearances," says an initiate. "There was nothing else beyond that."


WhenPrince Harry andMeghan Markle connectedPrince William andKate Middleton As well as the rest of the royal family in March at the Westminster Abbey for their latest official Royal Second Engagement, there seems to be a lost love between the siblings Gendres. Harry had anything butadmitted his relationship with his brother was tense during hisTRISTLY FAMILLE INTERVIEW ITV Several months ago. During this time, persistent rumors on aDiscussion between Kate and Meghan At a bridesmaid dress fitting, causing a permanent cooling, had been swirling around since the wedding of Sussexes in 2018. But, according to a royal initiate, it has always been clear that Kate and Meghan would never be friends.

"A close friendship between the Duchess of Cambridge and the Duchess of Sussex has never been going to happen," my source. "These are two very different women who have always been on two totally different paths. It is now quite clear that they did what they had to do to keep appearances, but there was nothing else beyond them. »

For Harry, Kate was the sister he never had. She has often cooked roasted chicken dinners for him, while still single and living right next to Cambridges in Nottingham Cottage. Harry and Kate still seemed very comfortable in the other company especially when they were joking at William's fees.

When Harry and Meghan announced their commitment in November 2017, the trio became familiar and a four party were quickly nicknamed"Fab Four" by the British tabloids. "There was this incredible pressure on Catherine and Meghan to become the best friends," my initiate says. "They are good enough, but this fantasy of them closer to the confidants because they were both foreigners who had married in the royal family was nothing more than a creation of the media and public relations dream. »

Now thatHarry and Meghan moved to Los Angeles andKate and William are more popular than ever In R., it seems that child gloves have detached. The Friends of the Two Couples are suddenly revealing how stretched things between women before the sussexes decided to resign as high royals.

In a new explosive profile of KateTattler July / August number, anonymous sources claim thatdeep gel between women Put at the beginning. Kate, always attentive to adhere to the Royal Protocol, and Meghan, determined to shake the status quo, were opposite poles in their approaches to royal life. A source cited in history says, "I do not think [Kate] never shot Meghan under his wing and said to him," I'm going to show you the strings of the job. Catherine and William werevery circumspect from the start about Meghan, Who wounded and rebel Harry. William rightly warned Harry to slow down the decline in the relationship. That's why they all fell on ".

In the same story, a friend of William and Kate refuted that she was not welcomed for Meghan, saying, "Help can not be provided if it is accepted voluntarily. »

With regard to the incident a lot speculated between Kate and Meghan involving bridesmaid dress, a source close to the Cambridges saysTatler"It was a hot day and apparently there was a row of knowing if the bridesmaids must wear tights or not. Kate,Next protocol, Felt they should. Meghan did not want them to ".

On the basis of the wedding photos, he appeared Meghan won this tour, but he would have not endear at the palace initiates. The magazine reports that Kate "sought the opportunity to put Meghan in his place, the Sermonne to speak imperiously to his staff of Kensington Palace. »

In response to theTatler history, which also said Kate was "furious" about hisIncreased workload since the output of the sussex And contained less shining comments about the Middleton Palace family published a rare comment. A spokesman for the Kensington Palace said: "This story contains a band of inaccuracies andFake false statements which have not been set to Kensington Palace before publication. We do not know what part or part of the history of the palace refuted.Tatler chief editorRichard Dennen said the publication by its history is.

harder feelings between women have been discovered recently when theDaily mail reported in April a friend from Meghan says thatMeghan believed if Kate had suffered the same constant criticism Whether it faces, "no one would have put it in place with it, and the broken and obsolete system would have been revised. These points of sale responsible for their vicious attacks would have been excluded. »

ReportsMeghan had been nicknamed "difficult duchess"By Staffers, serve the duchess of Sussex from the beginning. "The Stories on the High Saintes of Meghan with the staff started as soon as she moved in Nottingham Cottage and worsened after the wedding. It did not help that his office was a rotating door. Many people came enough Quickly, "says my source. "There was never a word about Catherine crossing with anyone at the palace. I think it disturbed Meghan that she was painted in a very unfavorable light and Catherine was considered the future queen without defect. "

Another source saidThe temperaturerecentlyMeghan "was convinced that there was a plot against her And so she landed essentially when they moved to Frogmore. "

In the backdrop of all this plot palace, a STARKContrast between Kate and Meghan who has shaped the emergence. "Catherine has always been extremely cautious, kept head down and never tried to be a royal star," my source said. "She is very aware that she is the Queen Consort one day and it's the director behind all she does. Meghan, on the other hand, had all these projects with Harry to" modernize "the monarchy and became quite frustrated when it became clear that they had a lot less power in the family and expected. Obviously, it was disappointed by the reality of royal life. In the end, the two women could not understand the point from the other. "

All hope of a thaw between Kate and Meghan seems unlikely that the lives of both couples becomes more and more distant. While William and Kate haveassumed the share of the lion of the official royal duties During the Pandemic of Covid-19 and seems everywhere these days by video cats with NHS schoolchildren and workers, Harry and Meghan were screaming in Los Angeles $ 18 million of $ 18 million in Tyler Perry since the exit of the states - emerging only atdeliver meals to those who need During the pandemic on behalf of the food of the angels of the project.

According to my source, William and Kate - with several other members of the royal family - were stunned when, just likeQueen Elizabeth took the waves to exhort the public to self-isolate (and the Prime Minister's Prime Minister evenBoris Johnson was hospitalized with coronavirus),Harry and Meghan announced the name of their new charitable entity, Archewell. "It was a bad mood," said a royal initiate. "And it was something most certainly could wait given the circumstances." The source adds that William and Catherine were tracked from what they saw as an "insensitive" movement of Harry and Meghan.

A TELL-ALL BOOK,Find freedom: Harry and Meghan and the manufacture of a modern royal family,Given that in August and written with the full cooperation of Harry and Meghan, should add fuel to fire. At the beginning of May, my sources said thatThe book of Harry and Meghan could have been fueled by "their anger for having to play the second violin at Duke and Duchess de Cambridge". The side rocks in history will come in September whenKensington Palace: an intimate memory of Queen Marie in Meghan Markle throughTom Quinn is published, which describes Kate as "one of the nicest royals" and Meghan unable to agree to be runner.

"Given everything in the world right now, there will probably be long until Catherine and Meghan are at the same time at the same time," said my source. "But when and if that time comes, do not expect a joyful meeting. It is no longer possible to put a good face on things now that many have been revealed from the true nature of their relationship. They got married In the same family but beyond that, Catherine and Meghan are two women who could not be more different and certainly not what anyone would consider "friends".
