Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton have not seen one another in eight months

Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton last saw one another during Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in September 2022. The women married to Prince Harry and Prince William, respectively, have a checkered past. After several public rifts in the early days of their relationship, it appears the sisters-in-law never again found common ground.

Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, were stripped of their official security detail after stepping away from their royal duties and moving to California in 2020.
