Meghan Markle's mum, Doria Ragland, was reportedly "never introduced to William and Kate" despite visiting London multiple times. It's been suggested that Meghan wanted to keep her mum separate from the rest of the Royal Family.
An insider shared: "It was all very bizarre. Meghan seemed to want to put a separation between them." The source also claimed that the Prince and Princess of Wales were keen to meet the mother of the former Suits actress.
A source also told The Telegraph that Meghan felt overshadowed by Kate. She believed she had more right to voice her opinions as she saw herself as a "self-made woman" with more experience than Kate.
The source said: "She seemed to feel like she had more of a right to speak than her sister-in-law, who had married into the family as an unknown whereas Meghan regarded herself as a philanthropist who could teach the royals a thing or two about charity."
They continued: "I think she found it difficult that the Royal Foundation was already a well-oiled machine by the time she got there."
This comes after the Sussexes supporter Omid Scobie criticised Kate in his first book Finding Freedom for not forming a "meaningful" relationship with Meghan.
Royal fans had high hopes for a strong friendship between Kate and Meghan when Meghan joined the Royal Family.
They thought their shared experience of marrying into the world's most famous family would bring them close. However, their different personalities and ways of life meant they never really became good friends.
In his book Spare, Prince Harry talks about times when Meghan and Kate didn't get along.
He recalled disagreement over bridesmaid dresses before his wedding that upset Meghan, and says Kate wasn't happy when Meghan borrowed her lip gloss.
