One netizen wasn’t shocked by the reports that Meghan Markle used Kate Middleton.

The Duchess of Cambridge and Duchess of Sussex reportedly had a ghastly row for o year, but they already reconciled last Christmas. The two had a heart-to-heart talk where they confessed what they really felt towards each other about the issue.

According to reports, Middleton felt that her sister-in-law only used her. One fan found it disgusting but wasn’t surprised about it.

“Disgusting but not shocking at this point....seems to be a pattern,” the netizen wrote on Twitter.

An insider told Us Weekly that Middleton and Markle mended fences during the royals' get-together for the holidays. The royal family’s Christmas tradition includes spending it with the Queen in Sandringham. Prince William, Middleton, Markle and Prince Harry, who were rumored to be having a rift, were reportedly forced to bury the hatchet for the occasion.

The two duchesses reportedly discussed the matter and admitted how they felt about each other. Markle reportedly felt “snubbed.” On the other hand, the royal mom of three confessed that she felt Markle was only using her to “climb the royal ladder,” the insider claimed.

Prior to the event, there were speculations that Markle would use the holidays to reconcile with Middleton. Markle and Middleton were seen smiling and chatting on Christmas Day when they walked to church for the royals’ traditional morning service.

Middleton even opted to be a few steps behind Prince William to keep pace with Markle, who was holding Prince Harry’s arm. However, Judi James, a body language expert, claimed that Middleton and Markle only showed a united front for the camera.

Based on their actions, Middleton adopted the matriarchal role in the royal family. The Duchess of Cambridge was keeping her future role as the next queen in mind.

Meanwhile, based on their wardrobe, Melita Latham, stylist and owner of luxury travel brand Melita Latham, was convinced that the Duchess of Sussex was “more comfortable” in her surroundings than Middleton. She added that this could be due to Markle’s being under the limelight most of her life. She also complimented the pregnant royal’s outfit, which she believed was perfect for the outing.
