The California-based couple travelled to Jordan following an invitation from the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">World Health Organisation<\/a>, meeting with Syrian refugees, talking to burns victims from Gaza and attending a United Nations discussion.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-well-timed-trip\">A well-timed trip<\/h2>\n<p>While a Sussex insider says the trip had been in the works for some time, the fact it coincided with Andrew\u2019s arrest for sharing confidential information with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, while he was working as a British trade envoy, was seen as a win by the duchess.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMeghan\u2019s feeling a bit smug,\u201d shares the insider.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe monarchy is taking a hammering, but she and Harry are getting headlines for their humanitarian work.

Their behaviour is said to have opened old wounds for Kate, who\u2019s never got over the way her brother-in-law wrote about her in his best-selling memoir Spare \u2013 including claims she made Meghan cry in the lead-up to the former Suits star\u2019s wedding and comments over Kate\u2019s \u201cbaby brain\u201d following the birth of Prince Louis.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1600\" src=\"https:\/\/api.photon.aremedia.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/03\/v13-3-26-royals-kate-1-69b36ea8e7f92.jpg?fit=1024%2C854&amp;resize=1920%2C1600\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-350935\" srcset=\"https:\/\/api.photon.aremedia.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/03\/v13-3-26-royals-kate-1-69b36ea8e7f92.jpg?w=1843 1843w, https:\/\/api.photon.aremedia.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/03\/v13-3-26-royals-kate-1-69b36ea8e7f92.jpg?w=192 192w, https:\/\/api.photon.aremedia.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/03\/v13-3-26-royals-kate-1-69b36ea8e7f92.jpg?w=60 60w, https:\/\/api.photon.aremedia.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/03\/v13-3-26-royals-kate-1-69b36ea8e7f92.jpg?w=180 180w, https:\/\/api.photon.aremedia.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/03\/v13-3-26-royals-kate-1-69b36ea8e7f92.jpg?w=360 360w, https:\/\/api.photon.aremedia.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/03\/v13-3-26-royals-kate-1-69b36ea8e7f92.jpg?w=921 921w, https:\/\/api.photon.aremedia.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/03\/v13-3-26-royals-kate-1-69b36ea8e7f92.jpg?w=1228 1228w, https:\/\/api.photon.aremedia.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/03\/v13-3-26-royals-kate-1-69b36ea8e7f92.jpg?w=1920 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Sussexes are managing to distance themselves from the scandal going on in Britain.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-lines-that-can-t-be-uncrossed\">Lines that can\u2019t be uncrossed<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cShe feels there are lines that, once crossed, can\u2019t simply be erased,\u201d offers another insider. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn Kate\u2019s view, publicly criticising the institution on global platforms did real damage. She believes that kind of exposure chipped away at the public trust. \u201cShe thinks repeated public criticism from inside the family is destabilising. It undermines the Crown at its core and \u2013 at this already very delicate time for the royals with the arrest of Andrew \u2013 William and Kate are dead against the return of Harry and Meghan. In their view, a Sussex return would create more instability, not less.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-frosty-first-meeting\">A frosty first meeting<\/h2>\n<p>Kate has struggled with Meghan from the moment they first met at Kensington Palace in early 2017. According to royal editor Russell Meyer in his recent book <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/William-Catherine-Intimate-Instant-Bestseller-ebook\/dp\/B0FTL1W9JD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">William &amp; Catherine: The Intimate Inside Story<\/a>, that initial encounter caused Kate to remark the actress was \u201coverly friendly\u201d, with a \u201ctouch of California\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Later, as their relationship deteriorated, Kate became increasingly disillusioned with how Harry and Meghan treated palace staff. However, the biggest shift occurred after the Sussexes\u2019 wedding. William and Kate felt that Harry and Meghan had their own \u201cagenda\u201d, writes Russell, and the atmosphere between the two households became strained. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1600\" src=\"https:\/\/api.photon.aremedia.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/03\/13-3-26-royals-kate-3-69b36ea630826.jpg?fit=1024%2C854&amp;resize=1920%2C1600\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-350931\" srcset=\"https:\/\/api.photon.aremedia.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/03\/13-3-26-royals-kate-3-69b36ea630826.jpg?w=1843 1843w, https:\/\/api.photon.aremedia.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/03\/13-3-26-royals-kate-3-69b36ea630826.jpg?w=192 192w, https:\/\/api.photon.aremedia.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/03\/13-3-26-royals-kate-3-69b36ea630826.jpg?w=60 60w, https:\/\/api.photon.aremedia.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/03\/13-3-26-royals-kate-3-69b36ea630826.jpg?w=180 180w, https:\/\/api.photon.aremedia.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/03\/13-3-26-royals-kate-3-69b36ea630826.jpg?w=360 360w, https:\/\/api.photon.aremedia.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/03\/13-3-26-royals-kate-3-69b36ea630826.jpg?w=921 921w, https:\/\/api.photon.aremedia.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/03\/13-3-26-royals-kate-3-69b36ea630826.jpg?w=1228 1228w, https:\/\/api.photon.aremedia.net.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2026\/03\/13-3-26-royals-kate-3-69b36ea630826.jpg?w=1920 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The faux royal tour included a visit to a refugee camp in Jordan.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-toxic-atmosphere\"><strong>A \u2018toxic\u2019 atmosphere<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A source quoted in the book describes the mood as \u201ctoxic\u201d, claiming Meghan\u2019s \u201cbullish\u201d personality did not sit well with her sister-in-law, who \u201cfound her abrasive\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The biography suggests Kate anticipated Meghan and Harry walking away from royal life.
