KEY POINTS

  • Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle are not necessarily feuding
  • Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle have been pitted against each other
  • Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle's alleged feud was used to cover-up their husbands' rift

Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle have been rumored to be feuding for months. However, it seems that their alleged rift was just used to shield an even bigger problem.

While speaking with Express, body language expert Judi James said that the Duchess of Cambridge and the Duchess of Sussex’s alleged feud provided an unwitting smokescreen to prevent royal fans from spotting the problem between Prince William and Prince Harry.

Months ago, it was revealed that Prince William and Prince Harry were actually the ones how are feuding and not their wives. However, it was only after Middleton and Markle were pitted against each other that this was reported.

Meanwhile, James also talked about Middleton and Markle’s relationship. She said that even though the two women have been rumored to be feuding, the truth is they are actually on good terms.

“Kate’s approach to Meghan never looked anything but conciliatory even though there were few signs of a genuinely close, relaxed ongoing friendship between the two women. In terms of signals of authentic affection, there were more tactile rituals of what looked like fondness between Meghan and Camilla. Kate and Meghan’s body language together always looked pretty typical of new sisters-in-law though,” she said.

James also credited Middleton for trying to exert an effort to keep the royal family close. The Duchess of Cambridge has been photographed interacting with some members of the royal family with a smile on her face. She has also stood in between Prince William and Prince Harry, who haven’t patched things up until today.

Meanwhile, photos of the duchesses also revealed that they are quite close to each other. Insider compiled the snaps that were analyzed by royal experts. They said that such photos don’t normally make headlines because they don’t fit the narrative that Middleton and Markle are at odds with each other.
