Kate Middleton Has Been "Reaching Out" to Meghan Markle and Sending Gifts

While things between Prince William and Prince Harry are said to be tense ahead of Princess Diana's statue unveiling at Kensington Palace (it's going down today, by the way), Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle might be on the road to mending their relationship

According to an Us Weekly source, Kate has been in touch with Meghan ahead of the statue unveiling, and since the birth of Meghan's daughter Lilibet.“Kate has been reaching out to Meghan a lot more since [Lilibet] was born, she’s sending [notes and] gifts and trying to build up a relationship,” the source says. “The firm has been instructing staffers to reach out more to Harry and Meghan to get them to soften a bit.”

William and Kate made sure to congratulate Meghan and Harry on Lilibet's arrival on Insta, writing “We are all delighted by the happy news of the arrival of baby Lili," and Kate recently said she "can't wait to meet" her, adding that she hopes it "will be soon."

Sounds good, but honestly there are conflicting reports about all this drama! For example, royal author Robert Lacey (who’s also a historical consultant for Netflix’s The Crown) dropped an updated version of his book Battle of the Brothers and revealed that William and Kate see "no point" in talking to Harry. To quote Lacey: “They told friends that they could see no point in talking to Harry, since any discussion of substance would go straight back to Meghan to be leaked out via Oprah [Winfrey] or some other tentacle of the Sussex network.”

William and Harry haven't seen each other yet (Harry's been quarantining in England), but they're having a public reunion in 3, 2, 1, so here's to hoping they're able to chat after the event.

This seems totally like a planted story by the Megstan bot army to paint the Harkles as the wounded party. But over in reality, why the hell would Kate reach out to Megdusa?

by Anonymousreply 2July 1, 2021 6:46 PM

I'm glad that Kate is reaching out.

I've had enough drama, and I'm sure the BRF has too.

It would be nice to hear some positive news from them, for once.

But obviously, the Daily Fail is invested in creating drama and rivalries.

They'd go out of business, without Meghan.

by Anonymousreply 3July 1, 2021 6:48 PM

I doubt this is happening. Harry's incredibly brief stay in London for the unveiling shows the brothers have no interest in interacting.

They will be friends again when Harry and Meghan split up.

[quote] This Prince William & Prince Harry Photo From Diana’s Statue Unveiling Gives Us So Much Hope

Prince William and Prince Harry finally reunited on July 1 to commemorate their late mother’s 60th birthday at Kensington Palace with a special statue unveiling. The two brothers were seen walking side-by-side on their way to the Sunken Garden behind the walls of the iconic home, which has housed royal family members for decades. Despite ongoing reports of a feud between the two, Prince William and Prince Harry looked comfortable around one another, with the younger prince sporting his quintessential smirk.

Of course, it was an incredibly emotional day for the pair, as they remembered their late mother, Princess Diana, who would have celebrated her 60th birthday today. The brothers have been dedicated to the task of seeing every detail for the occasion fully realized. And it’s their collaborative effort that is giving us so much hope after months of wondering what the future holds for these two royals.

Prior to the final unveiling, which featured a gorgeous statue of Diana, Princess of Wales, with each arm wrapped tenderly around a child, the Duke of Cambridge and Duke of Sussex spent “months collaborating on the design” of the memorial, per a report from The Telegraph. The two even focused on the small details of their mother’s likeness, which included “advising the sculptor on how her nose should look,” per the same report. The final product was, indeed, a “youthful” representation of Princess Diana, which harkened back to her days working with children as a teacher before she was thrust into the spotlight and royal life.

Princess Diana was completely dedicated to her two boys during her life, and would’ve hated to see them feuding with one another when they have endured so much together. Although this isn’t a sure sign that tensions have relaxed between the brothers, it’s definitely a start. We cannot help but feel just a little bit hopeful that this meaningful, collaborative effort between the two royals to honor their mother opens a new chapter for their relationship.

I'm sure the Klan Grannies would love nothing more than for there to be all-out war between the Cambridges and the Sussexes.

However, being that they're actually royals, and the future of the British monarchy, I'm glad that William and Harry are reconciling. I'm also glad that Kate is reaching out to Meghan.

THIS IS WHAT ADULTS TO.

Klan Granny hatred for Meghan be damned. I want to see the two families make up.

Harry is not the future of the British monarchy, KGT at r11.

No one in Britain wants him and his evil wife stinking up the place, which was abundantly evident in today's video of the unveiling. The guests were all polite, but gravitating to William. And Herry knew this, grinning wildly and trying to join in when people talked to William.

He is a reject, in every sense of the word.

As for his wife spreading tales of being bombarded with gifts and texts for the last month, she wishes. I'm sure there was a gorgeous gift and a very nice text, because that is what is polite. But of course Meghan has to shop this politeness to the tabloids. She's lower than a snake.

This is a bit of PR bullshit by Sunshine Sachs. It's s ludicrous idea that they know Kate isn't going to bother denying.

After watching William freeze out Harry today at the unveiling, and Diana's sister move fast to keep Harry from trying to get close to William, you can bet your arse that William's wife isn't reaching out to Meghan Markle.

This is Meghan trying to keep her foot in the royal pool.

Even the Spencers have turned against Harry.

The Sussexes are pariahs and they just don't want the public to know it.

The Queen didn't meet with Harry. Charles left for Scotland rather than be near Harry. William barely looked at Harry. They aren't going to the TTC or onto that balcony.

And they'll say anything to hide it.

by Anonymousreply 20July 1, 2021 9:19 PM

I'm sure Will and Kate sent a note along with an appropriate gift for the baby as classy people should do. I don't think there's any "reaching out" but just the normal politeness when someone in the family celebrates a new addition.

by Anonymousreply 21July 1, 2021 9:40 PM

Yes, of course, Kate sent a gift and note to celebrate the birth of Lilibet. Even if she didn't want to, she'd know better than to omit the gesture, as the next thing you know Omid Scobie would be writing about how the BRF ignored the birth of Diana's biracial granddaughter.

R34 - Can we talk about how Lainey is one of Meghan's best media pals and circulates whatever Meghan tells her to circulate? It was Lainey who circulated Meghan's lie about Kate refusing to give her a lift to go shopping.

Not a shred of proof, not a single receipt re Rose Hanbury, not one.

If someone circulated a rumour about Harry cheating on Meghan only saying that "everyone in Montecito knew about the affair" the Meghan stans would be balling "Smear!"

Which is all that the Rose Hanbury story was - started by Meghan's pals Nicole Cliffe and Giles Coren (who later admitted he was drunk when he put the tweet up, then took it down, as did Cliffe). I wonder who could possibly have fed them the information?

Because, as we all know, Meghan was so inty with the Norfolk gentry - right?

R42 - Oh, he went back to his eco-friendly mansion in droiught-ridden California with the 16 bathrooms, 9 bedrooms, swimming pool, and extensive grounds requiring more water than most of CA's small cities.

Kate reaching out to the two pariahs who are holed up trying to figure out how to fight off the truth of that bullying investigation headed their way, the ANL appeal, the shit Robert Lacey's book exposed in its "new edition", etc., etc., ad nauseam ad infinitum.

Meghan will be lucky if Kate is ever persuaded to stand next to her again at an official event.

And if the Queen dies this year, before, say, the Platinum Jubilee gets under way and is all cancelled, there will be even less likelihood of that ever occurring.

Because Harry's father, the next King, is so angry with his son that he left England in order to ensure Harry couldn't possibly come within range of him.

The Queen's desire to keep some Happy Families facade going is all that is giving the Harkles any hope of further monetising their royal connections.

Charles, like William, is a real grudge holder. He isn't going to forgive Harry any time soon for these last "fits of temper", especially the one he let Omid Scabies leak about "a future Head of State" and the lie about being financially cut off.

Harry went for Charles' jugular with those two and Charles isn't going to forget it.

So the Harkles had better be praying for the HM's continued good health. Because Harry has made sure that his father is as angry as his brother, and that means, adios Sussexes once HM is raptured.

You are right. He had WAY before he met her. After he got out of the military, he kind of kept himself away from the public and only went out for required family events

William and Harry had screwed up childhoods. They barely saw either parent and were raised by strangers in boarding school. Then their mom died and the royal family never talked about it. That's screwed up

Yawwwwn. Says who? Oh that's right.

William has no reason to discuss or agonize over his small, way-down-the-line-of-succession, very light-skinned nephew. Please -why? Even believing the notion that he is moderately racist - a very big hypothetical leap - why would he bicker with Harry (the tyke's father) about it? Little Archie has little to no future role in the BRF or even the wider family.

What he very well was likely discussing with Harry, was his impulsive, hot-headed responses to nearly everything ever said or published about him, and how he would react to the UK media's reaction to little Archie's potentially very-light skin color. UK media being what it is (shit-stirring, much of the time), this was a big possibility. Big Brother, warning off Little Hothead Brother, about potentialities and how his reactions could cause negative scenarios for the broader BRF is a very believable scenario.

Don't buy it. All the pro-family PR, ESPECIALLY in American outlets is all Susssex.

[quote] We told you that a famous family decided to adopt a new strategy in dealing with its rogue member.

[quote] They are freezing him out.

[quote] You may have noticed that Sonny’s family has rarely mentioned him in the past few months.

[quote] That cold approach was also evident during his recent visit.

[quote] While there were media reports that Sonny was meeting with this family member over lunch and that family member over dinner… that actually was not true!

[quote] You mean his team was lying to us? Gasp!

[quote] Total private interactions with family? One.

[quote] There was one only one discussion and it was not pleasant. Multiple non-family members were present to prevent any misinterpretation of the issues. Only one family member was present. The discussion was formal and brief and centered around several business matters. It will not be made public.

[quote] A formal agenda of business items that could only be discussed with witnesses present? That sounds intriguing!

[quote] Business aside, what about social interaction with his family? Sonny was in close proximity to dozens of family members who have not seen him in a long time. Didn’t he meet up with them?

[quote] Multiple requests from him to meet with various family members were politely but firmly declined.

[quote] The bottom line is that the entire family knows that they can not trust him. Any private conversation would be taken straightaway to the media and twisted to suit his agenda. They will not be fooled again.

[quote] Any reports or suggestions coming from his team that he had a private dinner with one family member or engaged in a long heartfelt conversation with another family member are fabricated.

[quote] So although his team is trying to spin the visit, the truth is that everyone in the family really is avoiding Fredo Sonny right now.

Do we think the "formal meeting" was the Queen and Harry when she was spotted driving over to Frogmore?
