Meghan Markle and Princess Kate 'snub' rumours finally explained
Meghan Markle and the Princess of Wales have been surrounded by feud rumours for years, with it all believed to have started when Meghan was first introduced to the Royal Family.

She praised the Royal Family for being very welcoming and recalled the special moment when she met the late Queen for the first time. Meghan said: "To be able to meet her through his lens, not just with his honour and respect for her as the monarch, but the love that he has for her as his grandmother, all of those layers have been so important for me so that when I met her I had such a deep understanding and of course incredible respect for being able to have that time with her."
