Meghan and Kate have never seen eye to eye<\/p>\n

He used to call her \u201cthe sister I never had\u201d \u2013 turning to her for advice and guidance, and often being pictured sharing a joke together at royal events. In fact, so close was Prince Harry and Kate Middleton\u2019s relationship, he even gave his brother Prince William the engagement ring he\u2019d inherited from their mother Princess Diana, so that his future sister-in-law could wear a piece of jewellery that meant so much to him. And, on William and Kate\u2019s wedding day back in 2011, it was Harry whose pride was palpable as he stood beside his brother, whispering, \u201cWait until you see her,\u201d as Kate proceeded down the aisle. As far as siblings-in-law go, both Harry and Kate knew they\u2019d struck gold.<\/p>\n
Now, however, their bond \u2013 though still intact \u2013 has been challenged by bad blood and warring factions. After all, it\u2019s no secret that Harry and his wife Meghan Markle\u2019s relations with the royals are at an all-time low, following a series of increasingly pointed attacks they\u2019ve made against \u201cthe institution\u201d since they stepped down as senior royals and moved to California. Harry and William\u2019s once unbreakable bond now lies in debris and, according to insiders, the brothers no longer speak. Meanwhile, both Harry, 39, and Meghan, 42, have spoken about the frosty reception the latter received from William and Kate when she married into the family. It\u2019s no secret that \u2013 despite Harry hoping that his future partner would turn their trio into a tight-knit foursome \u2013 the sisters-in-law have never quite seen eye to eye.<\/p>\n

Kate and Harry were very close<\/p>\n

So, where does this leave Harry and Kate? According to sources, the two have still kept things on reasonably good terms throughout the fracas. Indeed, despite the physical and emotional distance between them, they still keep in touch, update each other on their children, and offer one another a listening ear. But now, we\u2019re told, enough is enough. With Meghan keen to put the past \u2013 and Harry\u2019s family – behind them, she\u2019s no longer happy to see Kate, 41, and Harry sharing so many so many t\u00eate-\u00e0-t\u00eates, and now she\u2019s laying down the law: it\u2019s time to move on for good.<\/p>\n
\u201cHarry has always found it comforting that he\u2019s still on decent terms with Kate, even when his relationship with William is at rock bottom,\u201d says an insider close to the Sussexes, who were in Germany last week celebrating Harry\u2019s beloved Invictus Games. \u201cWhenever the going\u2019s been tough and he\u2019s landed himself in hot water over the years, Kate\u2019s been there with wise advice and has found a way to smooth things over. It really does speak volumes that, even after everything that\u2019s happened, they check in frequently. Up until now, they\u2019ve kept the dialogue light, which hasn\u2019t been a problem for William or Meghan, but now Meghan thinks this has gone on long enough. Given that William seems as bitter as ever and there\u2019s so much ill-will against the Sussexes that goes unchallenged, she no longer sees what purpose it serves for Harry to stay on good terms with Kate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kate was offended with Meghan joked about her \u2018baby brain\u2019<\/p>\n

Though it\u2019s hard to determine when exactly William, 41, and Harry\u2019s rift turned into an irreparable fallout, it\u2019s safe to say that momentum has been building for a while. The Sussexes drew the first punch two years ago when they sat down with Oprah Winfrey for a tell-all interview, and took aim at the alleged animosity, racism and lack of support they\u2019d received from the royal family. Since then, they\u2019ve claimed that the Palace \u201cfed Meghan to the wolves\u201d and that William, 41, had left Harry \u201cterrified\u201d during their Sandringham Summit, held to discuss the details of Megxit, by \u201cshouting and screaming\u201d at him. In his recent memoir Spare, Harry claimed his brother had \u201cknocked [him] to the floor\u201d after a heated exchanged sparked by William\u2019s supposed antipathy towards Meghan. <\/p>\n
They\u2019ve also had some complaints to make about Kate and her allegedly icy behaviour. In his book, Harry claimed that Kate, 41, had looked \u201cdisgusted\u201d after Meghan asked to borrow her lip gloss, and also told her new sister-in-law off for making a joke about her \u201cbaby brain.\u201d Meanwhile, Meghan has rubbished claims she made Kate cry ahead of her wedding over a disagreement about Princess Charlotte\u2019s flower girl dress \u2013 stating in fact it was the other way around. <\/p>\n

The Sussexes put on a united front at the Invictus Games<\/p>\n

Now, Closer understands, Meghan is keen for her and Harry to focus on their future in LA and cut ties for good. Over the past year, they\u2019ve both received some flak and backlash over their continued complaints against the royals and \u2013 the way she sees it \u2013 it\u2019s time for them to relaunch the Sussex brand in their own right. With a highly-anticipated return to Instagram in the offing, Meghan is keen to ingratiate her and Harry into the upper echelons of Hollywood, and form new alliances and connections in the process with the likes of the Kardashians and Beyonc\u00e9 and Jay-Z. We\u2019re told that, with Meghan laying the groundwork for a new Sussex chapter, she\u2019s urging Harry to focus on their future and say goodbye to the past. <\/p>\n
\u201cMeghan\u2019s put all the royal nonsense behind her in order to focus on their Hollywood prospects \u2013 and she wants Harry to do the same,\u201d our source reveals. \u201cEven if he\u2019s not discussing their marriage or intimate details with Kate, she\u2019d prefer it if they only talked once in a while. If he wants to check in and wish her happy birthday or seasons\u2019 greetings, that\u2019s fine. But long heart-to-hearts are where she\u2019s now drawing the line. It\u2019ll be interesting to see how Harry responds.\u201d <\/p>\n
