Meghan now sees Kate as a “pillar of support” in her new life behind the walls of Kensington Palace – and her husband Harry is relieved that they have forged such a close alliance.
The two Duchesses’ blossoming friendship was evident in pictures of them watching Wimbledon together last month.
One insider said: “Meghan is at her wits’ end over this.”
Another source told Vanity Fair that Kate is well aware of what the new royal is going through and has “made a big effort to be kind to Meghan and look out for her”.
Another insider added: “Kate’s made a real effort to be kind to Meghan and to include her. They’re quite different characters but they get along well.”
The two women, both 36, have bonded over their love of dogs, tennis and the great outdoors.
Kate has also recommended the services of British-based New Zealand designer Emilia Wickstead.
The source added: “Kate’s really busy juggling three kids, including her new baby Prince Louis. She has a lot on her plate and she has her own friendship group, but she has made an effort with Meghan.
“She’s been very sympathetic to what’s been going on with Meghan and her dad.”
The source explained that Kate invites Meghan to her apartment at London’s Kensington Palace for tea, with the two women speaking on the phone once a week.
Lighting director Thomas, 74, revealed that he has not spoken to his “beloved Bean” Meghan for more than 10 weeks.
Thomas, who has never met his son-in-law but has spoken to Harry on the phone, says the rift is “punishment” for him staging fake paparazzi pictures before the wedding.
He said: “I’m really hurt that she’s cut me off completely. I used to have a phone number and text number for her personal aides at the Palace, but after I said a few critical words about the Royal Family changing Meghan, they cut me off.
“Those numbers were disconnected, they no longer work. I now have no way of contacting my daughter. “It’s her birthday on August 4 and I want to send her a card.
“But if I send a birthday card to Kensington Palace, or wherever she’s living now, it’ll just be one among thousands. She’ll probably never see it.”
He added that Meghan “would be better off if he died”.
Meghan has had to deal with a number of family dramas since her relationship with Prince Harry, 33, came to light.
Her sister Samantha Markle has taken part in multiple TV interviews discussing the Duchess.
Royal observer Judi James con‑ firms the bond, saying Meghan “hero-worships” her sister-in-law.
