The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, has reached out to Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, in order to connect with her and offer support as she recovers from an abdominal surgery and deals with controversy surrounding a recent photoshopping incident.
According to Tom Quinn, the author of Scandals of the Royal Palaces, Meghan Markle has attempted to communicate with Kate Middleton through indirect channels in her attempts to connect with Kensington Palace. This was reported by The Mirror.
According to Quinn, there is a true concern for Kate’s well-being. After Prince Harry and Meghan Markle relocated to Montecito, California in 2020 and left their royal responsibilities, they have not been in communication with Kate Middleton and Prince William.
According to royal expert Jennie Bond, it is improbable that Kate will initiate discussions for reconciliation with Meghan while she is still recovering and may not even be in a state to contemplate taking Meghan’s advice and support.
According to Bond, it is unlikely that Kate would view Meghan Markle, who only had a brief stint in the royal family, as a suitable or capable individual to provide her with guidance or assistance.
According to Bond, it is now the right moment for Kate to concentrate on rebuilding her physical and mental resilience. Bond also mentioned that Kate may not be ready to address the family estrangement at this time.
According to her, in case Markle chooses to offer “flowers” or “goodies” to the princess as a way to “brighten her mood”, the kind gesture will be graciously received.
According to Quinn, Kate would not reject the “olive branches” offered by her sister-in-law and would avoid appearing hostile towards these gestures.
Despite Quinn’s belief, it was unlikely that the conflict between the two brothers would be resolved through this.
According to Quinn, there is a belief within Kensington Palace that accepting Meghan’s efforts to reconcile will only bring up past issues.
It has been observed that Kate Middleton has not made any public appearances since Christmas 2023. However, she has been seen while travelling, always accompanied by strict security measures.
