Kate & Meghan - Reunited For Our Kids

The duchesses put their differences aside for a very important reason

Since joining the British royal family, Meghan Markle has had a complex relationship with her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, that’s best described as frosty. But the devoted mums have finally shelved their differences as they turn their focus to the one thing that unites them – their love for their children.

“Meghan and Kate are actually getting along really well and have been in touch more often,” a royal insider told Us Weekly magazine. “Meghan and Kate’s relationship was never that close. But now they’re closer than ever and working on their relationship for the sake of the family.”

Meghan, 40, has made it no secret that she felt slighted by the Duchess of Cambridge, 39, whom she expected would help show her the ropes after marrying Prince Harry, 36, in 2018. But the pair were reported to “not have much in common” and were rarely seen together before the Sussexes left the UK in early 2020.

While Kate and Meghan were often pitted against each other in British tabloids, the Duchess of Sussex decided to use her greater freedom in the US to tell her side of the story.

Speaking out on a report that the former Suits star had made Kate cry during a dress fitting for Princess Charlotte, 6, in the lead-up to her wedding, Meghan flipped the story on its head during her bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey. “The reverse happened,” Meghan told the talk show host in March.
