After a tumultuous few months for Kate Middleton, she will have been no doubt leaning on Prince William, her family and close friends for support.
But, while their relationship has been discussed heavily over the last four years, it has been claimed by a royal author that the Duchess of Sussex used recent events to reach out "through back channels" to offer the Princess her support.
Despite this, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond explained why this is an unlikely scenario as she told OK! how Kate would be likely to snub any advance from Meghan.
She explained: "don’t think Kate would ever consider Meghan - who spent such a very short time in the royal fold - as an appropriate or qualified person to give her advice or support." Jennie went on to give a further reason: "This is a time for Kate to concentrate on regaining her strength, physically and mentally, and I don’t imagine she would welcome tackling the family rift right now.
