Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton ‘finally exchange texts after royal feud’

Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton have been texting since the birth of Lilibet, it has been claimed.

She and Prince Harry announced the birth of their baby daughter on June 4, delighting royal fans.

The Duchess of Cambridge afterwards shared her best wishes and told a reporter she “couldn’t wait to meet her”.

It seems that Lilibet has helped unify the royals, according to a source.

An insider told US Weekly: “Tensions have eased between Meghan and Kate.

“Kate even sent Meghan a gift for the baby. They’re in a better place and have exchanged texts since the birth of Lilibet.”

Relations between the pair had been strained before Megxit, and appeared to increase after the explosive Oprah Winfrey was broadcast.

In it, Meghan responded to reports that Kate had made her cry – and insisted the opposite had happened during a row over bridesmaid dresses.

However, the insider added: “The bridesmaids dress incident took place so long ago and [it] feels pointless to hold onto the anger.

“It’s wasted energy. They’ve called it truce.”

They went on: “The birth of Lili has brought Kate and Meghan closer together.

“They’ve bonded over both having daughters and can’t wait for all the cousins to meet.”

The Queen has invited the Duke and Duchess of Sussex back to the UK next year for her Platinum Jubilee celebrations, the Mail on Sunday earlier reported.

Archie and Lili may join other royals for the celebration on June 2, it is claimed.

On July 1, Harry and William stood shoulder to shoulder as they appeared in public together for the first time since April to unveil a statue in honour of their mum Princess Diana.

The Duke of Cambridge and the Duke of Sussex’s troubled relationship is well documented, but their mother was their main focus as they reunited on what would have been her 60th birthday.

The royal brothers made no speeches during the ceremony, but later said in a joint statement: “Today, on what would have been our Mother’s 60th birthday, we remember her love, strength and character – qualities that made her a force for good around the world, changing countless lives for the better.

“Every day, we wish she were still with us, and our hope is that this statue will be seen forever as a symbol of her life and her legacy.

“Thank you to Ian Rank-Broadley, Pip Morrison and their teams for their outstanding work, to the friends and donors who helped make this happen, and to all those around the world who keep our mother’s memory alive.”
