Why Kate Middleton Won't Be Meghan Markle's Maid of Honor
Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton, future sisters-in-law and two very different women, aren't best friends. And while they are becoming closer, a new report from Entertainment Tonightsays one thing is certain: the Duchess of Cambridge absolutely won't be Markle's maid of honor. Or matron of honor, since Middleton is married, and that's the technical term.
A source told ET that Markle will "choose one of her closest friends who has stood by her for many years before meeting Harry." The source did not specify which friend this will be, although Jessica Mulroney, Markle's stylist and the best friend who let the couple stay at her place after news of their relationship broke is one solid guess.
Still, though, time really is bringing Markle and Middleton closer together. "An avid cook, Meghan often pops around to visit with Kate and the kids dropping off treats," the source said. "Meghan has also been leaning on Kate for advice as she joins the Royal family."
They're also neighbors at Kensington Palace, which is nice considering Markle can't really just walk around London unbothered anymore. "Meghan has also turned to Kate to keep her company as she has less flexibility roaming around freely since joining life as a future member of the Royal Family. Meghan is adapting to a life without her social media accounts, under the constant scrutiny of the paparazzi, with help from Kate."
That said, as royal reporter Katie Nicholl told InStyle last week, Markle still wants her own group. "I do hear plenty to suggest that they’re quite different people and that have quite different interests and that Meghan is quite independent and very confident and very keen to I think establish her own network of friends over here in London," Nicholl said. "So that’s certainly not to say she’s snubbed Kate in any way. I think they do spend time together. But I think Meghan’s keen not to rely too much on Kate and to have her own friends as well."
