Behind-the-scenes efforts to mend fences as Meghan and Harry navigate strained relations with the royal family
Meghan Markle has reportedly reached out to Kate Middleton and Prince Charles in a bid to mend the rift that has strained their relationships since 2020. The Duchess of Sussex and the Princess of Wales have faced challenges in recent years, with tensions escalating following the Sussexes’ explosive revelations in their Netflix docuseries and Prince Harry’s memoir, Spare. Meghan is also rumoured to be preparing to share her side of the story in a forthcoming memoir.
One of the key incidents that fueled the rift was a disagreement over bridesmaid dresses, with conflicting accounts from both sides. While Meghan claimed in an interview with Oprah Winfrey that Kate made her cry, Harry revealed in his memoir that he found Meghan in tears after an argument with Kate.
