Kate Middleton Reportedly Taken Aback by Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's 'Surprise' Birthday Gifts

It seems as if the rift between Prince William and Prince Harry is on the mend…

But it seems things may be looking up.

Harry and Meghan have extended an olive branch…

In the form of a “numerous” surprise birthday gifts for Kate Middleton!

Meghan’s career as an actress seemed to be instantly swapped for a life fulfilling royal duties and there’s no denying how she immediately revolutionized the royal family.

And there was no denying how happy they looked together.

Much to the delight of their fan-base worldwide!

Which made Meghan an official part of the royal family. She relocated to London and was given the title, the Duchess of Sussex.

And Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor was born in May of 2019.

However, though the little family seemed to radiate with happiness…

Things were far from the case behind the scenes as Meghan was relentlessly attacked by the British press and public.

The British media had something to say about it. Whether she was being branded as a diva, a control-freak, a “monarchy ruiner,” and even a bad mother, Meghan received it all.

In a joint statement, the couple said that they wanted “a normal upbringing for their child” and they feel that spending their time between the U.K. and America would be much more appropriate for their family environment.

But nobody was more shocked than those in the royal family.

Apparently, the Queen wasn’t notified of Harry and Meghan’s plans to step down from the family until after their announcement on social media.

Her Majesty published a statement shortly afterward, which read: “Discussions with The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are at an early stage. We understand their desire to take a different approach, but these are complicated issues that will take time to work through.”

The future King of England reportedly distanced himself from Harry and Meghan, and the pair allegedly didn’t speak for months.

Because they’ve grown up together being so close, especially since the death of their mom, Princess Diana.

It seems that William was cautious of Meghan from the get-go…

“Don’t feel you need to rush this,” William told Harry in 2016, according to Royal sources, “Take as much time as you need to get to know this girl.”

“Harry heard the tone of the snobbishness that was anathema to his approach to the world. During his 10-year career in the military, outside the royal bubble, he had learned not to make snap judgments of people based on their accent, education, ethnicity class, or profession.”

William continued to warn Harry, which is something Harry didn’t do when it came to William and Kate’s engagement. “What made it very hurtful for Harry is that he has always given William his full support particularly with Kate. Not everyone adored Kate Middleton in the beginning. Some of William’s friends were snobbish about Kate, but Harry gave her the thumbs up from the outset and he expected the same loyalty back from William.”
