According to the new Channel 5 documentary 'Meghan at 40', Meghan Markle had initially been keen to develop a close friendship with her sister-in-law Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge.
However, Meghan was left "feeling a bit rebuffed" as a rift began to develop between the two, due to their "very different" approaches to royal work.
Royal expert Emily Andrews said: "Here were two women, both outsiders, marrying into the Royal Family, living on the same complex at Kensington Palace – of course, they’d be besties.
"And actually, that’s what Meghan felt, she confided in a number of her friends that she hoped Kate would help her adjust to royal life but the cracks started to show pretty early on.
"Behind the scenes, Meghan was feeling a bit rebuffed, I’m not sure whether Kate ever realised.
"William had said to Harry before they got engaged, ‘No need to rush this, you’ve got all the time in the world, you don’t know her that well,’ and I think that set the seeds."
