Duchess Vs Duchess: The Rift That Could Ruin Christmas

Fresh-faced and cheery, it was a scene that’s become typical of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge.

Playfully throwing fake snowballs at her husband Prince William and the 200 assembled guests at Kensington Palace during an event honouring the families of those serving in the military, Kate radiated happiness and contentment as she carried out her royal duty − an art she’s been practising for 17 years.

Despite the continued reports of a feud between herself and new sister-in-law Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, it was Kate the consummate professional who turned out to celebrate Christmas at the grotto that was especially erected for the military families. However, just metres away in Nottingham Cottage, Meghan and husband Prince Harry’s current home in the grounds of the palace, there was a very different story − and a very unhappy new duchess.

It’s supposed to be the season to be jolly. But for Meghan, Christmas could see her reach crisis point following the rumoured fallout between herself and Kate − two extremely different women whose main similarity was they both happened to fall in love with princes.

Just a few weeks ago, Meghan was looking forward to a relaxing holiday with her new in-laws at Sandringham, and the chance to have a well-earned rest after a huge year during which she married into Britain’s first family, became pregnant and took on an arduous first overseas tour that included coming to New Zealand.

But now she is thought to be feeling under siege, amid reports that her relationship with Kate is so hostile the feisty American has had the mum-of-three in tears.

The floodgates opened two weeks ago when it was revealed that Meghan and Harry wouldn’t be moving to a Kensington Palace apartment next door to the one occupied by Kate, William and their children Prince George (5), Princess Charlotte (3) and Prince Louis (eight months).
