Chatter about Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton’s supposed feud has reached a fever pitch. Just yesterday we debunked a report from the New Zealand Herald that alleged Middleton and Markle didn’t “really get on.” Well, it was actually the Daily Mail that did the debunking with its report claiming there’s no drama between the two duchesses. Richard Palmer, a royals reporter, later corroborated this, tweeting that Markle and Prince Harry’s imminent move to Windsor wasn’t inspired by a “big fallout” between her and Middleton—as speculated—but rather the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s looking to spread their wings.

But the drama isn’t over. New rumors are bubbling up that add fuel to the “Kate and Meghan don’t get along” fire. It’s a frustrating, confusing narrative, so we’re breaking down the new reports that are raising eyebrows. Take them all with a grain of salt.

Kate Middleton “in tears.” This comes from a story by The Daily Telegraph‘s Camilla Tominey, who was told by two sources that “Kate was left in tears following a bridesmaids dress fitting for Princess Charlotte” leading up to Markle’s May wedding. However, TDG never says why Middleton cried—just that she was “emotional” and had “just given birth to Prince Louis.” So it’s possible something or someone else besides Markle was responsible for these tears, if they even happened.

It’s the brothers who actually aren’t getting along. In one fell swoop, this report squashes any inclination that Markle and Middleton aren’t friendly and puts the focus solely on Prince William and Prince Harry. Katie Nicholl from Vanity Fair has this scoop. “Kate and Meghan are very different people and they don’t have a lot in common, but they have made an effort to get along,” a source tells VF. “Any issues are between the brothers.” Nicholl reports that the two brothers are “moving in different directions” and that Prince Harry wants to begin new royal duties with Markle that are separate from his brother and Middleton. “He wants to be his own person not in William’s shadow,” says a source. “The countryside works for him and Meghan because they want to raise their son or daughter away from the limelight.”

Meghan-related tensions between the brother reportedly date back to last December, according to Vanity Fair, when Prince Harry thought Prince William wasn’t being as welcoming to his then fiancée as he could’ve been. “Harry felt William wasn’t rolling out the red carpet for Meghan and told him so,” a source tells VF. “They had a bit of a fallout, which was only resolved when Charles stepped in and asked William to make an effort. That’s when the Cambridges invited the Sussexes to spend Christmas with them.”

Read my body language. There’s a report from the Daily and Sunday Express breaking down all the ways the body language of Markle and Middleton are hinting at their strained relationship. An expert named Judi James says the physical space between Markle and Middleton at Wimbledon (see below) could suggest “distance” between them. However, James essentially refutes this by saying that Wimbledon marked Middleton and Markle’s first display of “open closeness and friendship.” So…what the hell is even going on?

The answer to that is most likely “nothing.” The rumors suggesting tension between Markle and Middleton are either vague as hell or have perfectly logical rebuttals. This all appears to be smoke and mirrors for the boring truth: that Middleton and Markle are your standard sisters-in-law. They may not be best friends, but there’s no huge feud at play. Also, Markle and Prince Harry are probably moving because they want a bigger backyard. There’s nothing to see here, except four pretty royals.
