The authors of the new book on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, called Finding Freedom, claim there was tension in relations between the Sussexes and Cambridges. Some reports suggested the relationship between the two couples became so bitter that Kate humiliatingly snubbed her sister-in-law at Meghan's farewell appearance as a senior Royal. However, close friends of William and Kate issued a fierce defence, insisting the couple had “rolled out the red carpet” for Meghan. Trending

They insisted the Cambridges had “done all they possibly could” to welcome the US actress into the Royal Family.

Friends of the family noted they welcomed Meghan “with open arms” by inviting her to Anmer Hall, their family home in Norfolk.

“How can you say they weren't warm or welcoming when they hosted Meghan for Christmas, invited her into their totally private inner sanctum at Anmer Hall and did everything they could to make her feel at home?"

“They personally cooked her favourite vegan food, they couldn't have been more welcoming.”

The new book has revealed multiple surprises about the Royal family and has taken the public back to the darkest days of the bitter 'Megxit' saga.

One excerpt, in particular, came out last night claiming that Harry was upset when his older brother referred to his then-girlfriend Meghan as “that girl” and was warned, “not to rush this”.
