Prince Harry and Meghan Markle abandoned their royal position and flew to the US to seek business endeavors and life away from the ‘racism’ in Buckingham palace. As soon as they left the United Kingdom, they started pursuing publicity and scheduled a tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey. Well, despite their fleeing and their comments on racism, Kate Middleton was not thrilled to see them go.
An inside source from Buckingham palace told People magazine that Kate Middleton is ‘really, really upset about the whole situation’. However, according to the source, all of this has one positive side. It strengthened Kate Middleton and Prince William’s relationship even more.
Kate Middleton Didn’t Want For Prince Harry And Meghan Markle To be Estranged From the Royal Family
“Everything with Harry and Meghan has been hugely stressful, but if anything, it’s pulled her and William closer together.” – the inside source told the outlet. “She was upset about it because William was so upset. Seeing her husband so distraught was tough.”
Another thing that speaks about Kate Middleton’s nobility is the fact that she remained silent through all the years. The newsletters finger-pointed and spitted on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. However, Kate Middleton didn’t do anything wrong during the whole time.
To be honest, it was never like Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle were close. They never grew fond of each other. However, they never exchanged bad words as well. According to critics, this is because of Kate Middleton’s character. It simply doesn’t allow her to fall on that level and release a controversial statement.
“Meghan would agree with the assessment that the duchesses were not the best of friends.” – Omid Scobie wrote. He is a Royal reporter who wrote 2020 Finding Freedom Royal biography. “Their relationship hadn’t progressed much since she was Harry’s girlfriend.”
During the Oprah Winfrey interview, Meghan Markle reflected on a story about her and Kate Middleton. The story was about how Meghan Markle made Kate Middleton cry ahead of her wedding.
“The narrative with Kate, which didn’t happen, was really, really difficult. Something I think, that’s when everything changed, really.” – Meghan Markle said. “No. I didn’t make Kate cry. No, no, the reverse happened. And I don’t say that to be disparaging to anyone. Because the week of the wedding was really hard. Something upset Kate. But she owned it, and she apologized, and she brought me flowers and a note apologizing and she did what I would do if I knew that I hurt someone. To just take accountability for it.”
Reports covering the relationship between the Duchesses claim that they were never close. However, Kate Middleton tried to reach out to Meghan on several occasions.
“Kate has been reaching out to Meghan a lot more since Lilibet is born. She’s sending notes and gifts and trying to build up a relationship.” – Us weekly reports. “The firm has been instructing staffers to reach out more to Harry and Meghan. To get them to soften a bit.” – the report adds.
