Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton are still working things out internally, and it sounds like the reported rifts in their relationship remain an issue as they move forward within the royal family!
But while the pair has certainly gotten off to a rocky start, a royal expert’s take suggests that time may be exactly what the sisters-in-law need — and in time, they’ll figure things out!

Katie Nicholl, an expert on the royal family who spoke with ET about Kate and Meghan’s relationship drama, had this to say about the two leading ladies:
“When Harry met Meghan, [as] the relationship was progressing, he was really keen to get Kate’s stamp of approval. He wanted them to be close as sisters-in-law. I think they’re still in an early stage of their relationship. They’re still really getting to know each other and there are many, many more years to come. A firm friendship could well blossom, I don’t think it’s out of the question. I think people forget these are still [the] early days and I think it’s a matter of all of them trying to find their feet as a foursome. For so long we had the royal trio — Prince Harry, Prince William and Kate. Now, of course, we’ve got Meghan.”
OK… that makes sense!
It goes beyond that, too — because Meghan is a “very strong woman,” per Nicholl, who doesn’t hold back with what she’s thinking or what she believes.
And that’s something the royal family isn’t used to quite yet!
Nicholl explains a bit more:
“Kate does feel a little eclipsed by Meghan, who’s just come along to such huge media interests, public interests and being so successful from the start. Of course, the Palace has tried to knock these rumors of attention between the four royals on the head. I think there was a lot of worry about whether one would upstage the other. That didn’t happen, but there does seem to be a little concern about the two women carrying out engagements on the same day. At least because the newspapers don’t seem to know who to put on their front page … I think what we’re going to see over the next couple of months are the couples living increasingly separate lives. Inevitably it’s going to mean that we see less of them working together and more of them striking out independently.”
Wow!
No more fearsome foursome! (Not that it ever actually was that fearsome — except maybe for each other! Ha!)
