Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton, Normal Sisters-in-Law, Both Attended the Queen's Christmas Lunch
Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton both attended Queen Elizabeth II’s pre-Christmas lunch on Wednesday, December 19 looking as chic as ever. Unfortunately, the holiday merriment was no-doubt clouded by the incessant rumors the two sisters-in-law are feuding. These reports are unfounded, of course, and Kensington Palace even shut down them down with a rare statement in early December.
A new report from People claims Markle and Middleton’s relationship is “complex” but not outrageously terrible. “They are very different characters,” a family friend tells the magazine. But what in-laws relationship isn’t complicated? Are you best friends with your sister-in-law? Probably not! You most likely have a calm, congenial relationship with her—and the same goes for Markle and Middleton, in my opinion. Just because they’re not skipping down the street together doesn’t mean they’re enemies.

In fact, I’m willing to wager the two women had a lovely chat while sipping tea and eating those small sandwiches that never fill you up with the queen. Below, a non-exhaustive list of topics I hope they talked about:
-
Why everyone is so obsessed with them driving and shutting car doors.
-
This Instagram account of Prince George throwing imaginary shade at the other royals.
-
The most recent season of Suits
-
Why Prince Harry is obsessed with turning all the lights off in the house.
5.What type of pizza Prince William eats on the sofa.

Whether Princess Charlotte is a Laurel or a Yanny.
-
What Markle would’ve talked to Kendall Jenner about at the British Fashion Awards.
-
If the Spice Girls reunion tour will be good without Victoria.
-
Their favorite season of Love Island. (You know they watch.)
-
Annnnd their favorite songs from the A Star Is Born soundtrack. (Meghan loves “Hair Body Face.” I can feel it.)
