Royal Rift: Kate Declines Meghan Markle’s Podcast Invitation

The refusal comes amidst a strained relationship between the two royal figures, following Meghan's controversial interview with Oprah Winfrey where she revealed shocking details about her life within the royal family.
Royal correspondent Richard Palmer from the Daily Express expressed skepticism about the possibility of Kate participating in Meghan's podcast, stating, “I don't think so.
There doesn't seem to be much of a bond there between them right now.”
Despite potential for improvement in their relationship, Palmer emphasized that the current atmosphere remains tense between the two duchesses.
