Will the sisters-in-law bury the hatchets? Kate Middleton handed Meghan Markle an olive branch!
Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle were never friends, but at first, they at least tried to maintain the semblance of a friendly relationship. A quarrel between their husbands, brothers William and Harry, caused a rift in the family, and the role of peacemaker has now been taken over by Kate Middleton, who is trying to 'soften' her sister-in-law with small gestures.
Sisters-in-law who can't stand each other are found in many families, and the most famous royal family in the world is no exception. The entry of American Meghan Markle into the Windsor-Mountbatten family created tectonic disturbances, similar to those committed by her compatriot, the twice-divorced Wallis Simpson, because of whom Queen Elizabeth II's uncle, King Edward VII, abdicated. Although Meghan Markle and Prince Harry left the British Isles and moved permanently to California, family tensions did not subside at all, especially after their explosive interviews, and that things are not getting better as evidenced by the fact that immediately after the unveiling of the statue of Princess Diana, Prince Harry left the UK and headed to the US.
It was leaked that the quarreling brothers did not even talk in private because Prince William justifiably fears that everything they say in confidence will leak to the public in a few days through the American media, as has been the case so far.
But on the other hand, Kate Middleton seems to be working diligently on reconciliation, allegedly giving an olive branch to her sister-in-law in hopes of at least a little approval and stopping the attacks on the family. Ever since the birth of little Lilibet Diane, Kate Middleton has been trying to strengthen family ties with the 'American part of the family', writes Us Weekly, citing well-informed sources: "Kate has been contacting Meghan since Lilibet was born, sending messages and gifts and trying to establish a bond. In addition, the 'Company' (as they call the royal family) has ordered employees to turn more to Harry and Meghan to soften them up a bit."
Relationships between the sisters-in-law have been strained since the engagement, and Meghan said in a conversation with Oprah Winfrey that the British media are partly to blame for that. "If you love me, you don’t have to hate her. And if you love her, you don't have to hate me ", she said then, complaining that the narrative about how Kate cried before the wedding in 2018 was changed and that it was actually the other way around.
"A few days before the wedding she was upset about the dresses for the girls wearing the flowers and it made me cry. It really hurt my feelings. It was a really busy wedding week. And she was upset about something, but she took responsibility for it and apologized. And she brought me flowers and a message of apology. "
But according to another source, the lack of connection between the two actually has less to do with these types of misunderstandings, and much more to do with their husbands ’ quarrels. "The two have never been very close, but the reason they don’t talk is the rift between Prince Harry and Prince William. Harry and William had communicated infrequently over the past year, with none of their communication being friendly for some time. There is a real enmity that the brothers have towards each other, and this has spilled over into the relationship between Meghan and Kate, which further worsens the relationship in the family, " the sources claim.
But with the arrival of little Lilibet, there is hope that this could change, too, and during a meeting with US First Lady Jill Biden, Kate said of her newborn niece: "We haven't met her yet. I hope we will soon ."
