The war between Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton has been raging over the past four years \u2013 reaching an explosive peak when the former Suits<\/em> actress accused her sister-in-law of leaving her in tears after a row over bridesmaids\u2019 dresses ahead of her 2018 wedding to Prince Harry.<\/p>\n But that was just the start of a litany of complaints levelled at Kate, 41 \u2013 who Meghan, 42, has since accused of being at best cold and \u201cnot a hugger\u201d, and at worst, has hinted she was a bully who ignored her cries for help.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/12\/02.jpg” title_text=”02″ force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-gallery-caption” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”#111111″ text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”-2.75%||||false|false” custom_padding=”4px|8px|4px|8px|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Kate is said to be copying Diana\u2019s style<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n And last week the shocking revelations notched up a gear when \u201cMeghan\u2019s mouthpiece\u201d Omid Scobie released his new book, Endgame<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 which sees him again fire shots into the heart of The Firm.<\/p>\n In the bombshell book, Kate is cruelly accused of being \u201ctoo terrified to do anything more than grinning photo ops\u201d, while Scobie also claims she is told to copy Princess Diana\u2019s style.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/12\/03.jpg” title_text=”03″ force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-gallery-caption” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”#111111″ text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”-2.75%||||false|false” custom_padding=”4px|8px|4px|8px|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Speaking out against the royals to Oprah<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Sources quoted within the book also claim that Kate \u2013 who is said not to have spoken to Meghan in four years \u2013 \u201cimmediately detected a rival\u201d in her new sister-in-law, whose name is now said to make her \u201cshudder\u201d<\/p>\n And while Scobie claims that he is \u201cnot Meghan\u2019s pal\u201d and has denied that the Sussexes had any involvement in his second book \u2013 admitting instead that he had spoken with \u201cplenty of people\u201d close to the couple \u2013 Meghan confessed in 2020 that she had allowed a friend to speak with the author ahead of his first book, Finding Freedom.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n And now a source tells Closer, <\/em>\u201cKate\u2019s under no illusion that Meghan was very much behind this book and there is no doubt in her mind that she used Omid to try to further twist the knife and tarnish Kate\u2019s image.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/12\/04.jpg” title_text=”04″ force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-gallery-caption” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”#111111″ text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”-2.75%||||false|false” custom_padding=”4px|8px|4px|8px|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Biographer Omid Scobie<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Meghan has always been jealous of Kate and she can\u2019t stand the fact that Kate is still being put on a pedestal and can do no wrong, while she feels she is unfairly portrayed as the villain.

close to Kate, who he called \u201cthe sister I never had\u201d and who in turn shared his sense of humour \u2013 once gifting him a \u201cgrow-your-own-girlfriend\u201d kit for Christmas.<\/p>\n Closer<\/em>\u00a0previously reported how Kate reached out to Harry on numerous occasions in a bid to extend an olive branch.<\/p>\n \u201cShe wants Harry to know that there are a lot of people, herself included, who care about him and are rooting for him to be happy,\u201d a source said earlier this year.<\/p>\n Now insiders say Harry wants to stop Meghan adding any more fuel to the fallout with Kate \u2013 who they say Harry feels has \u201calways had his back\u201d.<\/p>\n The source adds, \u201cHarry\u2019s desperate for it to stop and has begged Meghan to let it go but, as he says, it\u2019s like she\u2019s almost infatuated with her and won\u2019t stop until she has Kate\u2019s head on a plate.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s gotten to the point where Kate now sparks all of their rows and Harry is at his wits\u2019 end.”<\/p>\n \u201cHe was always extremely close to Kate and despite everything that\u2019s happened with his family, he still feels a strong bond to Kate and has told Meghan he worries her mission to seek revenge on Kate is going too far.\u201d<\/p>\n And while signs of healing ahead of Christmas came to light last month when it was revealed that Harry reached out to Charles in an \u201cemotional\u201d call for his 75th birthday, the source says that Kate has been left \u201cterrified\u201d as the royals rally around her.<\/p>\n The source says, \u201cKate\u2019s terrified of Meghan and truly believes there\u2019s something deeply sinister about her \u2013 knowing the lengths she\u2019ll go to and how much time and effort she\u2019ll spend
