Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, has seemingly returned a gesture of support from her estranged sister-in-law, Meghan Markle, following a sweet and surprising nod from the Duchess of Sussex.
During the St Patrick’s Day parade on Monday, Kate made a notable appearance as the honorary Colonel of the Irish Guards. This marked her first participation in the event since skipping last year due to her recovery from abdominal surgery and a subsequent cancer diagnosis. Her presence at the parade was a significant moment, underscoring her ongoing royal duties and resilience after a challenging year.

In a heartwarming move just hours after Kate’s appearance, Meghan Markle took to Instagram to honor her sister-in-law. The Duchess shared a special video on her Instagram Stories, where she was seen preparing a green-themed breakfast with her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, to celebrate St Patrick’s Day. The day holds importance for both the UK royals and the Irish people, making Meghan’s gesture even more meaningful.

Kate appears to have responded with goodwill, especially as Meghan’s recent endeavors—such as her Netflix show and brand As Ever—have been met with negative reviews and controversy. According to an insider, Kate views Meghan’s show With Love as “harmless” and believes it should be seen in a positive light rather than focusing on any familial tension or stirring up controversy.
The source also revealed that Kate isn’t making a big public show of support, but there is a sense of relief within the royal family that Meghan is dedicating her energy to projects that focus on her personal brand and family life, rather than continuing to discuss or criticize the royal family.
Kate’s measured response reflects a sense of compassion and maturity, demonstrating her ability to maintain grace while navigating the complexities of her relationship with Meghan. As the royal family continues to evolve in the public eye, moments like these offer a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes dynamics, highlighting the importance of family support and understanding amidst the challenges of royal life.
