KATE MAKES MEGHAN PAY!

How sly princess hit Harry’s fame-hungry wife where it hurts

PROTECTIVE Princess Kate worked feverishly behind the scenes to keep her American sister-in-law, Meghan, from attending King Charles’ coronation — and now she’s angling to have Prince Harry’s haughty wife permanently banished from the U.K., sources tell The National ENQUIRER!

“It’s becoming increasingly apparent Kate was the mastermind behind Harry’s solo appearance at the coronation,” spills a palace courtier. “She made sure Meghan would’ve had a rotten time — with lousy seating arrangements, dinner party snubs and family peace talks — if the Duchess of Sussex actually decided to attend.”

According to another insider, Kate told fatherin-law Charles she wasn’t willing to make nice with the washed-up Suits actress, who she blames for permanently wrecking Harry’s relationship with the royals.

“There’s just too much mud under the bridge for that — now or in the future,” explains the insider. “Kate played Meghan like a fiddle and used her ego against her!”
