Since Meghan Markle joined the royal family, a tabloid ignited feud pitting her and Kate Middleton against each other has dictated the dialogue between the two royals. Understandably, the rivalry has had a real effect on the pair, and the Kate vs. Meghan narrative is something the women have struggled with.
But the two are not at war and never have been. Although there is definitely some competitiveness between their husbands Prince William and Prince Harry. Speaking to People magazine, a source close to the family has insisted that there are no issues between Kate and Meghan.
โWhatโs challenging is when they are pitted against each other,โ the outletโs source said.
โThatโs been challenging to both of them. Meghan has her life, Kate has hers.
โMeghan is very aware that Kate will be Queen; their roles are very clear,โ Peopleโs source said, while also noting the two just donโt have that much in common.
โMeghan doesnโt fit the mould, while Kate was groomed for this.โ
The source also noted that Meghan was a โfully formed personโ when she joined the royal family, whereas Kate got involved with William in college.
Kate and Meghanโs last joint appearance together without any other members of the royal family was at Wimbledon in July. The duchesses showed a united front at the famous tennis match and enjoyed watching the final together.
The main priority for both woman at the moment is taking care of their children. Meghan is currently believed to be on a six-week break with Harry and the couple will be spending their Christmas (and baby Archieโs first) away from Sandringham and with Meghanโs mother, Doria Ragland instead. The coupleโs spokesperson noted the Queen approved of the Duke and Duchess of Sussexโs decision and that other royal family members have taken years off from the royal holiday festivities to be with their other sides of the family.
