Kate Middleton is under fire for posing for photos while she continues to recover from serious abdominal surgery.

As rumors about the Princess of Wales' health spiral out of control, Meghan Markle is trying to offer support to her estranged sister-in-law, an insider says.

said Tom Quinn, author of Scandals of Royal Palaces. Mirror The Duchess of Sussex has contacted Kensington Palace several times through back channels.

“She's really worried about Kate's health,” Quinn claimed.

Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, have not spoken to Kate and her husband, Prince William, since they moved to Montecito, California, in 2020.

However, another insider confirms that Kate is unlikely to be in a state to begin reconciliation talks.

Royal expert Jenny Bond said: “I don't think Kate would consider Meghan – who has spent such a very short time in the royal fold – to be an appropriate or qualified person to provide advice or support to.” Yes!.

She added: “This is the time for Kate to focus on regaining her physical and mental strength, and I can't imagine she would welcome addressing the family rift at the moment.”

But Bond noted that if the former actress sent “flowers or gifts” to the princess to “make her happy,” the gesture would be “politely accepted.”

Quinn agrees, claiming that Kate is likely to politely accept Markle's “olive branches” because she does not want to be seen as “rejecting these overtures.”

But this is unlikely to lead to real reconciliation between the feuding spouses or their spouses.

“The feeling at Kensington Palace is that if Meghan's attempts to extend an olive branch are welcomed, it will reopen old wounds,” Quinn said.

Kate has not been seen in the public eye since Christmas 2023, apart from some blurry photos of her traveling in cars.

The future queen missed the annual St. Patrick's Day parade on Sunday at Mons Barracks in Aldershot, England, an event she attends every year.

The princess became an honorary colonel of the Irish Guards last year after the death of Queen Elizabeth.
