The duchess dishes out her cruellest blow yet and Kate is left heartbroken beyond belief
It should be a glorious time for the British royal family, with Prince Harry becoming a father for the first time. Instead, the duke and his new wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, are forcing the palace to an ugly crossroads, in which there are genuine fears the couple will raise their baby as a civilian, far away from the influence of his brother Prince William and sister-in-law Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, who are fast cementing their future roles as king and queen.
Now, Meghan has hit the Cambridges with the cruellest betrayal of all. As her feud with Kate continues to rumble, royal insiders tell Woman’s Day the 37-year-old Suits star has said she wants William’s wife to have nothing to do with her new baby.
For Kate, who until Meghan arrived on the scene was incredibly close to her brother-in-law Harry and is also a born mother, the news has come as the most heartbreaking of blows. Sources tell Woman’s Day she’s been in tears for days, wanting only for this drama to subside and the family to be whole once more.
KATE’S BRAVE FACE
After Meghan’s cruel comments about Kate, 37, and following months of rumours that all is far from well between William and Harry, their body language spoke for itself on Easter Sunday during a church service at St George’s Chapel in Windsor, which Meghan did not attend. “Harry and William did not speak, and Harry only offered a brief pleasantry to Kate,” a long-time royal watcher tells Woman’s Day.
“Wills and Kate looked thrilled to be hanging out with the rest of the family. They were laughing with Zara and Mike [Tindall], and even joking around with Beatrice and Eugenie. But Harry looked very out of place. He made all the niceties and bowed to the Queen, but mostly looked as if he’d rather be anywhere else on the planet.
