MEGHAN Markle and Kate Middleton are said to have drifted further apart than ever, after Meghan flew to Canada and seemingly ignored Kates 38th birthday celebrations at Kensington Palace.

The palace confirmed the Duchess of Sussex is back in Canada, after the shock announcement that Meghan and Prince Harry are stepping back from senior royal duties.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex revealed that they will now be splitting their time between the UK and North America, and will work to become financially independent of the royal family. 

This came the day before Kate Middletons birthday, and it is thought Meghan skipped celebrations to fly back Canada instead. 

The Duchess of Cambridge was spotted looking strained yesterday, as she arrived at Kensington Palace before having family over to celebrate. 

Royal author Phil Dampier told Fabulous Digital: Meghans friendship and relationship with Kate now seems fragile and she obviously made no attempt to go to Kensington Palace to wish her well on her 38th birthday, preferring to return to Canada.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex hinted they were feeling the pressure when they did an ITV documentary with Tom Bradby on their tour to southern Africa earlier last year. 

Phil added: There have been reports Prince William tried to patch things up with Prince Harry and Meghan and meet him after the Africa tour because he was worried about his and Meghans mental state.

But it seems the meeting didnt happen.

Clearly if Meghan said no-one asked me how I am that includes Kate as well, but did Meghan ask Kate how she was when she was pregnant?

We dont know the full truth but for now it sadly seems the sisters-in-law are as far apart as ever, as are the royal brothers.

Although the palace has denied rumours of a rift between the two duchesses, a source claimed that Meghan had made Kate cry during Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaids fitting in 2018.

Further tension was hinted at following reports Kate told Meghan not to berate members of her team at Kensington Palace.

The Duke, 35, and Duchess, 38, said in their surprise statement on Wednesday: After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution.
