Meghan Markle and Kate, the Princess of Wales reportedly “haven’t spoken” since 2019, according to royal author Omid Scobie – despite the fact they’ve made several public appearances together.

In an extract from his soon-to-be-released book Endgame, Mr Scobie claimed that Princess Kate has spent more time “talking about” her estranged sister-in-law than actually being with her.

According to the author, Prince Harry and Meghan sent William and Kate’s children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis – Christmas presents from across the pond last year, but that the pair didn’t respond with more than a text.

Despite having not spoken, Kate and Meghan have appeared in the same room on numerous occasions since.

Both of them attended celebrations for the late Queen’s Platinum Jubilee last June, as well as her state funeral in September 2022.

Meanwhil Prince Harry, Prince William, Princess Kate and Meghan Markle all took part in a walkabout, greeting mourners in the aftermath of the death of Queen Elizabeth in September 2022.

Meghan didn’t, however, attend the King’s Coronation earlier this year, with Prince Harry travelling to the UK to attend alone.

During her time in The Firm, Meghan was pictured joining Princess Kate at Wimbledon in both 2018 and 2019.

Many insiders have pointed out that the fact the two haven’t been in “direct communication” – as stated by Omid Scobie – because Meghan and Harry moved out of the UK so soon after stepping down and because of Meghan’s very few UK visits.

Paris Match, the French publication who spoke to the author, stated that Kate “immediately detected a rival to her” in Meghan.

The publication also wrote that, according to a close friend of the couple, Kate spent “more time talking about Meghan… than [actually] with Meghan”.

While promoting his tell-all book Spare earlier this year, Harry said that, shortly after news of their romance became apparent, it quickly became “Meghan versus Kate”.

Harry, Meghan, Kate and William were often dubbed the ‘Fab Four’ by the press, a term given to them after their initial close bond.

According to Mr Scobie, Meghan is adamant that she never wants to return to the UK and that she “never felt at home” in Harry’s home country.
