In March 2021, Observer reported that Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton hadn’t talked in over a year. However, now we know that’s not the case. Middleton celebrated her 40th birthday this month, and she spoke privately with Markle and Prince Harry on a video call on her special day. This appears to be a step in the right direction for the pair, though it’s hard to tell what this means for Middleton and Markle’s future.
According to TikTok user @matta_of_fact, the royal family rarely releases statements, so when they do, it’s often over something important. However, statements about Middleton have been lax in recent years, including one from Kensington Palace clarified rumors about Middleton getting botox, whereas Markle has not received the same level of support. Additionally, the TikTok user’s video explains how it’s contradictory for Middleton and Prince William to “paint themselves” as advocates for mental health while knowing the often racist articles written about Markle affected her mental health, as well as her relationship with Harry.
If Middleton is as “deeply upset” over Markle and Harry leaving the royal family as insiders have said, she may not be ready to discuss matters openly. Moreover, insiders have said that Markle rejected Middleton after baby Lilibet’s birth, so it’s unclear to the public just how strained the relationship between these two is. The lack of communication could fall under the guise of not wanting to release excessive statements, but no one knows for sure.
So, what do you think about Markle and Middleton’s relationship?
