Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton are not necessarily feuding with each other, but they cannot also be considered best friends. After all, the in-laws are very different from one another. But when the Duchess of Sussex first joined the royal family, she was hoping that Middleton would help her learn the ropes.
Meghan Markle Told Her Friends That She Hopes Kate Middleton Would Help Her Learn The Royal Ropes
According to royal commentator Emily Andrews, Meghan Markle even talked about Kate Middleton during her conversations with her friends.
“Here were two women, both outsiders, marrying into the Royal Family, living on the same complex at Kensington Palace — of course, they'd be besties. And actually, that's what Meghan felt. She confided in a number of her friends that she hoped Kate would help her adjust to royal life, but the cracks started to show pretty early on. Behind the scenes, Meghan was feeling a bit rebuffed. I'm not sure whether Kate ever realized. William had said to Harry before they got engaged: 'No need to rush this. You've got all the time in the world. You don't know her that well,' and I think that set the seeds,” she said (via Express).
Indeed, multiple royal experts previously revealed that Prince William had some concerns regarding how fast Prince Harry and Markle wanted to settle down. But when he told Prince Harry how he felt, the dad of two became upset and thought that his older brother just didn’t want him to be happy.

Meghan Markle And Kate Middleton’s Relationship Started Out Fine But Did Not Progress
Meanwhile, royal author Tom Quinn also weighed in on Markle and Middleton’s relationship. He said that the sisters-in-law initially got along well with each other. But they quickly realized that they were very different, so their relationship no longer progressed.
“Kate wants to do things quietly, she wants to obey the rules, she takes advice — Meghan is a much more strident character who wanted to do things her way, so this caused a rift,” Quinn said.
Meghan Markle, Kate Middleton Are Very Different From Each Other
Markle and Middleton’s differences were highlighted ahead of the former’s royal wedding to Prince Harry in 2018. At the time, reports swirled that the sisters-in-law had a misunderstanding over Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress, and one of them made the other cry.
Years later, more details regarding the alleged misunderstanding were unveiled. And sources claimed that Middleton had reservations regarding the length of the bridesmaids’ dresses because she was more traditional and wanted to make sure Markle would follow suit.
However, the Duchess of Sussex wanted to do things her way, so they ended up having a misunderstanding. According to Prince Harry’s wife, Middleton was the one who made her cry, but she apologized and sent her flowers.
But according to royal author Tom Bower, it was the other way around. Middleton was the one who got upset because Markle refused to follow the royal rules.
Despite everything that’s been said about her, Middleton has not responded to the claims that she and Markle got into a fight four years ago. After all, she’s a senior working royal, and they are not usually allowed to talk about their personal lives or respond to personal matters.
