Meghan Markle Reportedly Reached Out to Kate Middleton ‘Through Back Channels’

Jennie Bond, another insider who served as the BBC’s royal correspondent for over a decade, also weighed in.

“I don’t think Kate would ever consider Meghan — who spent such a very short time in the royal fold — as an appropriate or qualified person to give her advice or support,” she told OK!.

“This is a time for Kate to concentrate on regaining her strength, physically and mentally, and I don’t imagine she would welcome tackling the family rift right now,” she added.

But, Bond continued, if Markle were to send “flower” or “goodies” to “cheer her up,” then the “gesture would be politely accepted.”
