Ever since Meghan Markle joined the Royal family in 2018, reports about her and Kate Middleton not getting along have been making their rounds on the internet. Various sites and magazines claimed that the wives of Prince William and Prince Harry are not as close as they should be.
While people could only guess the real status of Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle’s relationship, it is quite evident that the pair enjoy watching the Wimbledon tennis tournament. In fact, the Duchesses have been attending the event together for the past couple of years. Unfortunately, they are forced to cancel this tradition as the London-based tournament has been called off due to the coronavirus pandemic.
"It is with great regret that the Main Board of the All England Club (AELTC) and the Committee of Management of The Championships have today decided that The Championships 2020 will be canceled due to public health concerns linked to the coronavirus epidemic,” a statement from The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (AELTC) read. “The 134th Championships will instead be staged from 28 June to 11 July 2021."
The cancellation of the Wimbledon tennis tournament may be especially disappointing to Kate Middleton as she has been a fan of the event even before she became a patron of the AELTC in 2016. The Duchess of Cambridge took this role over from Queen Elizabeth, who was a patron for 64 years.
And before all rift speculations, Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle enjoyed Wimbledon tennis tournament together in 2018. They were even spotted whispering to each other as they watched the Ladies' Singles Final in the front row of the royal box.
Also, an earlier report shared that claims about Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle not getting along are not true. HollywoodLife previously revealed that the Duchess of Cambridge and Duchess of Sussex are actually “on great terms” despite rumors saying otherwise.
Kate Middleton has been a part of the Royal family for almost a decade. So, she knows more about the obligations and the ins and outs in the Palace than Meghan Markle. This is the main reason why the Duchess of Cambridge and Duchess of Sussex bonded, according to a HollywoodLife insider.
“Meghan and Kate are on great terms,” the source said. “Kate has been and continues to be, a big help to Meghan. She’s very sympathetic to her circumstances, as far as joining the Royal family by marriage, so she’s always gone out of her way to make her feel welcome.”
