The expert went on saying Kate Middleton is a future queen – “she will always take priority over Meghan.”

Speaking about their relationship, Jennie Bond said she thinks the problem between them was that Meghan did not like that Kate was a more senior royal than she was.

Bond then said that the Duchess will most likely dislike curtseying to Kate when she one day becomes Queen.

“One day, the duchess will have to curtsey to her, and we know that Meghan finds that rather comically absurd,” the expert continued.

Meanwhile, a royal insider has claimed that Kate Middleton is willing to put years of tension with Meghan behind her.

The close source tells the Heat World "It's not just Harry and William who need to find a way to get past all this, there's also Kate and Meghan to consider.’

The insider suggested King Charles believes Kate could help move the process forward because she is "very much about forgiveness these days."
