'They've Called It Truce': Meghan Markle & Kate Middleton Are Now 'In A Better Place,' Claims Source

A source stated that after their long tiff, Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton have recently decided to call a truce and move forward.

Moving forward! Though Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton have never been best buds, a source believes the pair have put their problems behind them and have been on better terms ever since the actress welcomed daughter Lilibet Diana on June 4.

"Tensions have eased between Meghan and Kate," the source insisted to Us Weekly. "Kate even sent Meghan a gift for the baby. They’re in a better place and have exchanged texts since the birth of Lilibet."

Royal expert Katie Nicholl claimed there was never a "natural connection" between the women when they first met, and though Kate reportedly reached out to Meghan in the early days, they just never hit it off.

However, things hit a breaking point before the Sussexes' 2018 wedding.

In an interview with Oprah Winfrey, the Suits star explained that the mom-of-three "was upset about flower girl dresses and it made me cry. It really hurt my feelings."

After the incident, Meghan revealed that the Duchess of Cambridge "brought me flowers" and "apologized. She did what I would do if I knew I hurt someone."

Still, things never got any better between the two over the next few years, but recently, it all changed.

"The bridesmaids dress incident took place so long ago and [it] feels pointless to hold onto the anger," the source shared. "It’s wasted energy. They’ve called it truce."

While the Duchess of Sussex hasn't seen Kate or the rest of the royal family since she and Harry moved to America last March, she's looking forward to a reunion.

"The birth of Lili has brought Kate and Meghan closer together," the source noted. "They’ve bonded over both having daughters and can’t wait for all the cousins to meet."

While Meghan and Harry are parents to Lili and son Archie, 2, Kate and Prince William share Prince George, 7, Princess Charlotte, 6, and Prince Louis, 3.
