The unofficial biography, Finding Freedom, talks about the tension between Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton. Tension that was felt from the first meeting of the duchesses.
The royal journalists, Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand, talk about a strained friendship between Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, and Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex. In fact, the tension between the two duchesses would have been born from their first meeting, according to their unofficial biography Finding Freedom. The reason for this tension would simply be due to the fact that the two Royals are “very different” from each other. The biography also claims that being married to brothers didn’t make things any easier. Not to mention the fact that the Duchess of Sussex, 40, and the Duchess of Cambridge, 40, have never been very close.
Recall that Prince Harry, 37, had introduced Meghan Markle, his girlfriend at the time, to Prince William and Kate Middleton at Kensington Palace. This a few months after the beginning of their relationship. Only, Meghan Markle was reportedly disappointed when she realized that Kate Middleton was “an extremely cautious person with a tight-knit group of friends – which kept the two women from getting closer,” according to the book’s claims. The authors also claim that although disappointed by this aspect of George, Charlotte and Louis’ mother, Meghan Markle was not losing sleep over it.
Princess Charlotte of Cambridge has eased the tension between Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle
The book written by Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand highlights the role of 6-year-old Princess Charlotte of Cambridge in this conflict between the two duchesses. Indeed, Meghan Markle’s adoration for Charlotte of Cambridge would have made the tensions disappear. Note that at the beginning of their relationship, the Sussexes lived at Kensington Palace right next to the Cambridge mansion. This allowed the mother of Archie, 2, and Lilibet, 7, to spend much time with Princess Charlotte, Prince George, 8, and Prince Louis, 3.
This closeness to the children has been a huge motivator for both parties to put their differences aside. Especially when the children were present. The fact that Prince Harry’s wife gave Prince William‘s wife a soft leather Smythson notebook also helped bring the two women together. Only, the book highlights the fact that Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton have never been close. It also highlights the tensions between Prince William and Prince Harry.
