Kate To The Rescue!

As Meghan adjusts to life in the spotlight and as a royal mum-to-be, her sister-in-law is giving her some sound advice

It’s been a whirlwind year for Meghan Markle – she left her TV show Suits after seven years, became engaged to and married Prince Harry, announced her pregnancy and completed her first royal tour.

And Woman’s Day can reveal the Duchess of Sussex couldn’t have done it without her most trusted palace adviser: her sister-in-law Kate!

At the couple’s engagement interview, Harry described his brother William’s wife as a “fantastic” support to his bride.

“Catherine has been absolutely amazing,” the 34-year-old said. And Meghan, 37, agreed, “She’s been wonderful.”

Now, one year on, sources say that bond has only grown. “Kate is one of the only people who can truly understand what Meghan is going through,” a palace source tells Woman’s Day.

“Harry is very protective of her, but he grew up in this world and she didn’t. It’s Kate who she can really rely on during her time of need.”
