Kate Middleton has taken Megxit ‘badly’, royal expert claims

Kate Middleton has taken Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s split from the royal family ‘badly’, a source told Vanity Fair.  

The Duchess of Cambridge, 38, is said to feel Megxit is ‘very sad’, particularly because she was once in such a ‘happy trio’ with Prince Harry, 35, and Prince William, 37.  

Meanwhile other royal sources revealed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, 38, have also found the process difficult, despite their beaming smiles at their final official appearances during the farewell tour over the last week.

Speaking to royal correspondent Katie Nicholl, a friend of the couple explained: ‘It’s not been easy for anyone. I think they’re both pretty emotional.’

Kate Middleton is believed to feel Megxit is ‘very sad’ and has ‘taken it all badly’, according to the royal source 

Prince Harry and Prince William are understood to have made peace with one another before the Duke of Sussex left for Canada in January, but the brothers are said not to be in regular contact with one another. 

The rift between the once close siblings is said to causes sadness for the Queen, 93, and the rest of the family. 

One royal source revealed that Kate was particularly upset by Megxit, saying: ‘To be honest, I think Kate has taken it all badly. 

‘She, Harry, and William were once such a happy trio, she thinks what has happened is all very sad.’

A source close to the Sussexes revealed they had ‘very little down time’ during their packed schedule over the weekend, as they wrapped up final royal duties in the UK. 

Meghan has already started her new life after flying straight to Canada from the Commonwealth Day Service to reunite with baby Archie, while Prince Harry has stayed in the UK. 

From March 31, the monarch’s grandson and American former actress Meghan will no longer use their HRH styles as they pursue a new life of personal and financial freedom, mostly in North America. 

Prince Harry and Meghan embarked on a farewell tour last week as they prepared to step down as senior royals at the end of the month. 

Kate is said to feel particularly upset over Mexgit due to the close relationship she once enjoyed with Prince Harry (pictured, with Prince William in February 2017)  

They joined the Queen, 93, and other senior royals at Westminster Abbey on Monday in their last official duty as working royals. 

The occasion marked the first time the couples had reunited since the announcement of Prince Harry and Meghan’s plans to step down from life in as working royals.  

Kate was photographed offering a cursory, terse hello to the royal couple; an exchange that was at best polite and at worst, downright awkward. 

In the past, the Duchess has been particularly close to Prince Harry, with reports in January suggesting she ‘misses’ their bond.

An insider told Us Weekly that Kate had been left crying over the distance between herself and her brother-in-law, revealing: ‘She wishes she could speak to Harry. She misses him and fears she’ll never be close to him again.’
