Duchess of Sussex Receives a Heartfelt Gesture from Kensington Palace
In a surprising turn of events, Princess Kate has reportedly made a thoughtful gesture towards mending her strained relationship with Meghan Markle by sending her birthday wishes as Meghan celebrates her 43rd birthday.
A royal expert has suggested that the Princess of Wales might send a birthday card to her estranged sister-in-law today, 4 August, to mark the occasion. According to The Sun, Ingrid Seward shared with Fabulous magazine that Catherine is expected to extend an olive branch to the Duchess of Sussex despite ongoing tensions within the royal family. Seward noted, "I'm sure she'll receive a card or a message, but I can't see that they would be sending her a present."
Meghan and Kate's relationship has been tense since Meghan made controversial statements about senior royal figures. However, People magazine previously reported that Prince Harry and Meghan sent warm wishes to Kate following her cancer diagnosis in March. In their statement, the couple expressed, "We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace."
The anticipated birthday gesture from Kate signifies a significant step from the Palace in healing the rift between the Firm and the Sussexes.
