Meghan Markle is reportedly trying to mend her relationship with Kate Middleton amidst a photo scandal, according to a Royal expert who says Meghan has "reached out several times".
It comes as the Princess of Wales found herself in hot water after fans noticed something odd about a family photo she shared on Mother's Day. The picture showed Kate smiling with her three children, but fans were quick to point out that it looked like it had been edited.
Afterwards, Kate admitted to altering the photo and said sorry for any "confusion" caused. Now, Royal author Tom Quinn suggests that Meghan is using this opportunity to reconnect with Kate.
Tom told the Mirror: "Meghan has reached out several times via back channels to Kensington Palace in an attempt to see if there is any chance of getting on better terms with Kate. This is definitely partly because Meghan is genuinely worried about Kate's health, but she also sees a chance to lose her permanently angry-at-the-royals image."
However, it remains to be seen whether Meghan's efforts will bear fruit. Tom added: "Kate won't want to be seen to rebuff these overtures, but she will be taking advice and the advice so far, I hear, is definitely - don't take the risk."
"The feeling in Kensington Palace is that if Meghan's attempts to extend an olive branch are welcomed, it will just re-open old wounds."
This comes after another expert suggested Meghan should publicly support her sister-in-law. PR guru Ryan McCormick told The Mirror: "Meghan and Harry now have a golden opportunity to not only accelerate healing their rift with the Royal Family but, to restore some of their likeability in the eyes of the public. If I was advising Meghan, I would tell her to speak loud and passionate in defence
