Meghan Markle Reportedly Offers Kate Middleton ‘Olive Branch’ to End Feud, but Source Says ‘It’s Not Up to Her’
Sometimes going through hardships can bring people with strained relationships together. That is exactly what many thought was going to happen with the royal family and the Sussexes after the Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton) revealed her cancer diagnosis. However, in the months since the princess’s admission, there have been no signs of improvement in her and Prince William’s relationship with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
In fact, one of the Prince of Wales’ friends told the Daily Beast William and Kate have not talked to the Sussexes and are focusing their energy on the princess’s recovery, not speaking to Harry and Meghan.
Now though, a source claims the Duchess of Sussex is making an effort to try and put an end to her feud with the Princess of Wales. But not everyone is buying that story.
Insider explains how Meghan offered an ‘olive branch’ to Kate
A source has said the former Suits star is “desperate to end the feud” and has tried to make amends by reaching out to Kate.
“Meghan’s desperate to come across as the bigger person and end this feud between them — appearing like some sort of royal savior could only do her image good,” the insider told Closer per Express. “And, despite all their bad blood, her heart does go out to Kate — she can only imagine how hard this situation must be for her.
“Meghan has made it clear she’d love nothing more than to move past all the nonsense and find a way towards healing for everyone’s sake. She’s ready to let the anger and bitterness go. Of course, it’s not really up to her and Harry, all they can do is continue to reach out and offer olive branches.”
Not everyone is buying this story after Meghan tried to ‘disrupt’ Kate’s return
As nice as it sounds to hear Meghan wants to end the feud with Kate and is offering olive branches, not everyone is buying that.
Some have pointed to the fact that the duchess told Oprah Winfrey she and the princess never had a good relationship to begin with.
Others recalled that after her sister-in-law revealed her cancer diagnosis back in March, the Sussexes released a statement saying: “We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace.” Calling her “Kate” is something Harry never did when he was close with his brother’s wife but he and Meghan have done since their feud began. Many fans were angered by their statement insisting that they should have called her “Catherine” or used her royal title if they wanted to appear sincere.
Another reason some royal watchers don’t believe Meghan has reached out and wants to put everything behind her is because of what she did the day Kate made her public return at Trooping the Colour.
Soon after the Princess of Wales announced that she was going to attend King Charles’ birthday parade, her first royal engagement in six months, Meghan released a new jam flavor and dog biscuits for her lifestyle brand.
During an appearance on Talk TV, royal commentator Kinsey Schofield said that a lot of people “predicted” such a move by Meghan saying: “She’s extended the brand. We’ve gone on to raspberry and dog biscuits. And this of course just hours before all eyes are on Trooping the Colour … A lot of us predicted this: how are Harry and Meghan going to try and disrupt Trooping the Colour, how are they going to try and distract from the royal family looking strong, powerful, and influential. And they did it with dog biscuits.”
Schofield then opined: “Meghan is going to have a hard time shaking her mean girl image … And dropping dog biscuits right before we see the Princess of Wales for the first time in six months, doesn’t help that transition.”
