Are Meghan and Kate friends?

There have been constant rumours of a falling out between Meghan and Kate since the ex Suits actress married into the Royal Family.

Rift rumours started when Harry and Meg left their home within the Kensington Palace estate where they were living in close proximity to Kate and Wills before they gave birth to baby Archie.

But the two brothers reportedly fell out after Prince William’s concerns over Meghan reportedly “went down quite badly” his brother.

Speaking to Fox News, royal author Katie Nicholl said: “William was concerned about how quickly the relationship had moved and wanted to make sure that Harry was making the right decision.”

Last November, The Sun exclusively revealed that Meghan Markle “left Kate Middleton in tears” over her strict demands for Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress.

Meanwhile, one of Prince Harry’s former friends Lizzie Cundy claimed earlier this year that Meghan Markle has pushed Prince Harry’s friends outsince their move to Frogmore Cottage.

And in June it was confirmed that Kate and William and Meg and Harry had split from their joint charity.
