<\/p>\nMeghan Markle is open to burying the hatchet with Kate Middleton so long as she doesn’t have to “beg”, an insider has revealed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Duchess of Sussex, 45, and the Princess of Wales, 44, have long been rumoured to be estranged, particularly after Meghan and her husband Prince Harry, 41, shared a number of unflattering stories about the future Queen in sit-down interviews, Netflix TV projects, and the Duke of Sussex’s memoir, Spare.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, upon the Sussexes’ return to the UK, it has been alleged that Meghan wants to make amends with her sister-in-law, with one condition.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A well-placed source told the National Examiner that she would like to fix her relationship with the Princess of Wales, but “not if she has to beg”.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Meghan isn’t going to grovel to anybody, least of all Kate,” the insider claims, adding that the Duchess has “very strong boundaries” to protect herself from the past repeating itself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Sussexes and Waleses became distanced when Harry and Meghan stepped back from their senior duties as working Royals in 2020 and relocated to Montecito, California.<\/p>\n
However, their estrangement worsened when Harry and Meghan aired their dirty laundry in the years after Megxit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In his 2023 biography Spare, Prince Harry detailed a physical altercation between him and his brother Prince William in 2019, which resulted in the Duke being knocked to the floor.<\/p>\n
He also claimed that William pretended not to know him when they attended Eton College before dubbing the heir to the throne his “beloved brother and arch nemesis”.\u00a0<\/p>\n
During their interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, the Sussexes also alleged that Kate made Meghan cry in the lead-up to her wedding during an argument over Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress.<\/p>\n
Last week, the Duchess of Sussex touched down at Birmingham Airport along with her husband Prince Harry and their two kids Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five.<\/p>\n
The family are sent to embark on a new life in the UK for an “extended period of time” after living in Montecito, California, for six years.<\/p>\n
While not much is known of the Sussexes’ UK move,\u00a0they are believed to be basing themselves in the Cotswolds<\/a>\u00a0and staying with a celebrity friend while they look for a more permanent home.\u00a0<\/p>\n They have also enrolled both of their kids in a local school.<\/a><\/p>\n
