  • British royal family expert Katie Nicholl says that Prince Harry really really really wanted Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton to be best friends.

  • While the feud rumors between Kate and Meghan aren't legit, the sisters-in-law didn't exactly become besties like Harry had hoped. Womp womp.


When Meghan Markle joined the family, everyone was hoping she and Kate Middleton would become a dream team to rival Meghan and Harry themselves. Oh wait sorry, when I say "everyone," I actually just mean Prince Harry.

The prince apparently had his whole heart set on a Meghan-Kate best friendship for the ages, but, well, that didn't happen. If you're wondering why, please turn toward allllll those raging feud rumors, and that one Princess Charlotte pre-wedding fitting that went disastrously.

Royal expert Katie Nicholl told Glamour just as much, but she clarified that while Meghan and Kate aren't exactly wearing friendship bracelets, they aren't in a full-blown fight either. So take that, feud rumors!

“I think this idea of there being a catfight between the two duchesses has made tantalizing headlines, but I don’t think believe that,” she said.

“I’ve never heard from my sources that there has ever been a feud or a falling out. I had heard about an upset over the dress fitting for Princess Charlotte. And I had heard that while Harry was very keen for the two of them to become best friends, there was never that sort of a friendship.”

Best friends, they are not. But sisters-in-law? Sure, why not.

“They quite quickly realized they were two pretty mature women-quite different women-and really the only thing they had in common was they’d married princes," Katie added. "Not just Prince Harry, I think probably the world wanted them to become best friends.”

Well, obviously the whole world wanted them to be friends. They'd be like the friend version of a power couple. Alas, it wasn't meant to be, but at least there doesn't seem to be much animosity between them.

But a feud between Kate and her "rural rival" Rose Hanbury? TBD...
