With scathing interviews being released almost weekly, it’s clear things aren’t exactly going well between Meghan Markle and her father Thomas Markle.
But according to reports, Meghan’s new sister-in-law Kate Middleton has been a “pillar of support” for the Duchess of Sussex as she deals with the tabloid drama.
“Kate’s well aware of what Meghan is going through,” a royal source reportedly told Vanity Fair.
“Her family has been dragged through the tabloids and she knows it’s not nice. She’s made a big effort to be kind to Meghan and look out for her.”
According to the source, the Duchess of Cambridge, who is said to have share a love of dogs, tennis and fashion with the ex-Suits actress, is also making an effort to regularly invite Meghan over for catch-ups over cups of tea.
“I’d say they try to see each other once a week, sometimes with Harry, sometimes Meghan goes on her own,” they reportedly said.
“She’s very sympathetic to what’s been going on with Meghan and her dad.”
Mum-of-three Kate dealt with her fair share of family drama. Last year, her maternal uncle Gary Goldsmith was arrested after allegedly hitting his wife in the street.
