Kate Middleton is believed to have extended an olive branch to her sister-in-law Meghan Markle after she admitted she was struggling in the ITV documentary Meghan and Harry: An African Journey.

According to a royal insider, the Duchess of Cambridge told Meghan that “very royal goes through a bad patch” and that she should “move on and get through it.”
Author and former royal correspondent Phil Dampier told Express:
“Catherine has told Meghan that every royal – including herself – goes through a bad patch with the press but the important thing is to learn by mistakes, move on and get through it.”
The news comes after New Idea learned that Kate has stepped in to offer the Duke and Duchess of Sussex her firm and unwavering support.
Dampier revealed exclusively that the Duchess of Cambridge has decided to break her silence and draw a line under any difficulties she and Prince William have had with the troubled couple and once again unite as a supportive foursome.
Kate knows about Meghan’s secret struggle and even though she is a strong inspiring woman, underneath she is very sensitive.
Now, Kate is apparently determined to do all she can to support her brother-in-law and his wife.
“Behind the scenes, I’m told Kate is doing her best to bring everyone together and help Meghan,” says the author of Royally Suited: Harry and Meghan In Their Own Words.
“None of them want to let the Queen down so Kate is trying to patch things up in private.
“I’m told she has reached out to Meghan and spoken to her on the phone. Kate feels sorry for her and knows that Meghan is struggling.”
Kate’s actions come after Meghan – who shares son Archie with Prince Harry – openly admitted that she was not “okay” during an interview for a documentary following her and Harry’s recent tour of southern Africa.
In Harry & Meghan: An African Journey, the new mum moved viewers when she appeared to nearly break down as she admitted to struggling with constant scrutiny and criticism since joining the royal family last year.
