The Duchess of Cambridge, aged 37, reportedly reproached her sister-in-law, Meghan Markle, aged 37, following an incident where the Duchess of Sussex was impolite to royal staff.
Allegedly, the Duchess of Cambridge advised Meghan against criticizing members of the staff at Kensington Palace, as per a report by The Sun.
A source cited by the newspaper mentioned, “Her and Kate fell out when she b******ed Kate’s staff.”
In an unusual move, the Palace spoke up to dismiss the allegations, asserting, “This never happened.”
In response to claims of a growing discord, the Palace’s statement came subsequent to Daily Star Online’s coverage of the initial silence from the Palace.
Speculation regarding the tension between the two Duchesses, fueled by Meghan’s purported abrasive demeanor and her high expectations of the staff, is said to have prompted intervention from the Queen.
Reportedly, Kate was emotionally overwhelmed after attending Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress fitting in preparation for Meghan’s wedding in May, shortly after giving birth to Prince Louis.
Sources indicated that the differences between the two women are apparent, noting that while they have not engaged in a dramatic falling out, they do not share a particularly close bond.
Moreover, it is suggested that the brothers, Prince William, aged 37, and Prince Harry, aged 35, are seeking individual paths, which may contribute to the somewhat distant relationship between their respective partners.
Recent reports from a royal insider suggest that Meghan’s presence has strained the relationship between the brothers, with Harry expressing discontent towards William for not being more welcoming to Meghan before their wedding, according to The Telegraph.
Adding to the speculation of a divide, Meghan and Harry have decided against moving into an adjacent apartment to Kate and William, opting instead for Frogmore Cottage in Windsor, which will undergo extensive renovations prior to their relocation.
The royal family, known for maintaining discretion on personal matters, notably refrained from commenting on the prolonged marital issues between Prince Charles and Princess Diana.
However, exceptions to this rule have surfaced twice within the past two years, both instances in response to stories concerning Meghan.
