No bad blood: Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle are closer than ever

Kat O'Connor

Markle and Middleton are growing closer after a rocky few months.

Despite the never-ending reports about royal feuds and constant comparisons by the media, it looks like Meghan Markle and The Duchess of Cambridge are getting along just perfectly.

A source close to the royals has confirmed that both Kate and Meghan have grown closer in recent times.

They told Us Weekly that both the Cambridges and Sussexes have been talking constantly.

“I know that the four are talking with one another and they’re talking by Zoom [and by] FaceTime. They’re very close with one another.”

The couples may have completely different views, especially when it comes to royal duties, but it is believed they’re moving past that.

“Their lens on the world is highly individualized. And what’s remarkable is that they all totally respect [each other], but this lens is different.”

Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle have grown so close that they’re even considering working on a Netflix project together. The source said the duchesses are “getting along really well”.

The royals’ turbulent relationship has been under scrutiny since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down from their senior royal duties in 2020.

The couple’s interview with Oprah also reportedly tarnished Prince William’s relationship with his brother, especially when Prince Harry spoke so openly about how his brother and father are “trapped” in the monarchy.

He also revealed how the royals failed to protect Markle’s mental health and said members of the family were racist.

Despite the rocky few months, the brothers are taking “baby steps” to repair their damaged bond.

It is understood that Prince William is focusing on his future, but hopes to mend his relationship with his younger brother.

The Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry were last seen together at the unveiling of Princess Diana’s statue in Kensington Gardens earlier in the summer.
