Kate Middleton ‘devastated’ by Meghan Markle and Prince Harry tell-all book, royal experts claim
KATE Middleton has been left "devastated" by the explosive new biography about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, according to royal experts.
The Duchess of Cambridge, 38, is said to be feeling “upset” by the bombshell book, while conversations between Harry and William are now “stilted and difficult.”
Finding Freedom, officially released next week by royal journalists Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand, details the “rift” between the Cambridges and Sussexes.
Royal author Andrew Morton told : “There’s no doubt the rift between Harry and William has deeply affected Kate. It upsets her.”
Meanwhile royal commentator Phil Dampier said the biography will do “little to heal the relationships” between the couples, who were once dubbed the Fab Four.
He said: “I’m told that the pair are speaking at the moment, but the conversations are stilted and difficult.”
The families are currently living thousands of miles apart, with the Cambridges in Norfolk at Anmer Hall with the kids, and the Sussexes in LA with Archie.
Since stepping back as senior royals in March, Meghan, 38, and Harry, 35, have been staying with their one-year-old son at Tyler Perry’s £15million LA mansion.
Finding Freedom states that the relationship between the Cambridges and Sussexes was so frosty this spring they were barely talking.
The bombshell book tells of Meghan and Harry's final official appearance as royals in March, where they joined Kate and Will for the annual Commonwealth Service at Westminster Abbey.
As William and Kate made their way to their seats in the front row, Meghan gave them a little wave - but the book claims she and Harry were met with little response.
Authors Scobie and Durand now say Harry and Meghan felt snubbed at the service, with Scobie telling : "A lot of damage has been done."
According to sources in the book, William cautioned Harry against rushing his relationship with Meghan, who he referred to as "this girl".
The book claims that Kate did “very little to bridge the divide” between the divided brothers, although “it was not necessarily her responsibility.”
Royal expert Andrew said that Kate had “definitely sided with her husband” but acted as a “loyal wife”.
He added that the Harry and William divide is “just a very sad situation”, explaining that the duo have now “gone their separate ways.”
