Kate Middleton is taking the high road in her long-standing rift with Meghan Markle, choosing not to dwell on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s latest setback. The feud between the two royal women became widely publicized following Meghan’s 2021 tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey, in which she claimed it was Kate who had made her cry ahead of her 2018 wedding, contradicting previous reports.
Tensions between the sisters-in-law have since been the subject of speculation, but the Princess of Wales is reportedly refusing to engage in any negativity. A new Vanity Fair report has reignited controversy around Meghan, as fresh claims of bullying from former staff have surfaced. While the allegations have stirred conversations within royal circles, Kate remains unfazed, according to a Closer Magazine insider.
“Even though their new life in America doesn’t appear to be going the way they want it to, Kate would never take pleasure out of reveling in that,” the source shared. “She doesn’t wish harm on anyone.” The insider emphasized that Kate had made efforts to build a relationship with Meghan, despite ultimately being blamed for the wedding incident.
“She had tried her very best with Meghan and was blamed for making her cry,” the source stated. “Now it seems a lot of people are coming out of the woodwork, and Kate can’t say that she is surprised by it all – none of the royal family can.” However, despite the ongoing fallout, Kate reportedly holds no bitterness toward Meghan.
“She really has no ill will towards her,” the source continued. “She wishes the best for them both, and hopes that they can find a smoother way of living life outside of the royal family, which is, after all, what they have chosen to do.”
Kate’s stance appears to reflect a shift in her perspective, especially after her own personal challenges, including her cancer battle last year. The experience has reportedly made her more inclined to seek peace and serve as a mediator between her husband, Prince William, and his estranged brother, Prince Harry.
With tensions still running high between the Sussexes and the royal family, there remains speculation that Kate’s diplomatic approach could lead to a potential reconciliation. While no official efforts have been confirmed, her message of goodwill may lay the groundwork for a truce in the future.
For now, the Princess of Wales continues to focus on her family and royal duties, staying above the drama while hoping for a resolution between the feuding factions of the monarchy.
