Kate Middleton reportedly reached out to Meghan Markle following explosive claims about alleged ‘racist royals’ in his book Endgame.
A source told In Touch that the Princess of Wales felt ‘humiliated’ after being accused as one of the senior royal members to have raised concerns about Meghan and Prince Harry’s son, Prince Archie’s skin color in the royal book released last month.
However, succumbing to King Charles’ persistence, Kate rang the Duchess of Sussex to iron out their differences spanning nearly four years.
“Their talk was four years in the making, and obviously it wasn’t easy, because who knows what could end up being leaked from their private conversations?” the insider noted.
“But Kate has apologized to Meghan before, and she knew what to say. Her kind words had an impact, and they both got pretty emotional.”
Feud between Meghan and Kate spans even before the former’s wedding to Prince Harry in 2018.
In an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, the Suits alum revealed the future Queen made her cry over Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress only days before her wedding.
The Duke of Sussex also expanded on his wife’s claims in his book, Spare, and detailed several other instances which shed light on the clashing personalities of the sisters-in-law.
The insider revealed that the pair have, however, agreed to a ‘reluctant truce’ for the sake of their husbands.
“They’ll never truly see eye-to-eye, and nothing will change how Meghan feels about the way she has been treated by Kate and the rest of the royals,” they shared, “but Meghan is estranged from her own father, so she knows how tough it’s been on Harry to feel abandoned by his family.”
Added the insider: “She’s vowed to do what she can to help. Both she and Kate want to start over.”
