Kate Middleton Says She's 'Absolutely' Excited for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry
The past week has brought all sorts of rumors from across the pond about whether or not Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle and their husbands, Prince William and Prince Harry respectively, are getting along.
Generally, it all just sounds like the normal transitions and growing pains that happen in a family: People get married, start families, and move to new houses. It happens. But this being the royal family, many tabloids have tried to turn it all into a dramatic—and low-key sexist—soap opera plot, with Middleton and Markle unfairly pitted against each other.
Turns out (shock!), it’s much ado about nothing given Middleton’s responses to questions from fans who gathered to meet her and Prince William at an engagement in Leicester on Wednesday. When asked if she was excited for Meghan’s new baby, the Duchess of Cambridge replied, “Yeah, absolutely. It’s such a special time to have all the kiddies and a cousin for George and Charlotte, as well as Louis, so it’ll be really special.” (See the video here.)

The duchess also gave a little peek into the lives of her three children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. “They’re doing well, thank you,” she responded when someone asked after the youngest royals. “They’re getting excited for Christmas time because they’ve started all their Christmas songs and Christmas trees are going up. It was really sweet. And Louis’s getting big. I can’t believe he’s like seven months now. He’s getting to be a big boy.”
After the news broke that Markle and Prince Harry will be moving away from Kensington Palace to Frogmore Cottage in Windsor, outside of London proper, the British press has been running wild with stories of a feud between the sisters-in-law. “Kate and Meghan are very different people,” one source said. “They don’t really get on.” While another insists that “there has been no dramatic falling-out.”
Hopefully moments like this will put to rest stories of a big split—and the royals can all have a good laugh about it during Christmas at Sandringham with the Queen.
