Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's bitter feud with Prince William and Kate Middleton shows no sign of ending soon.
The Sussexes have repeatedly criticized William and Kate since their dramatic departure from the Royal Family , with relations between the two couples almost non-existent. However, a new royal book has claimed that despite their ongoing feud, the Waleses extended a "small gesture" of reconciliation to Harry and Meghan after an emotional evening at Buckingham Palace.
This gesture reportedly occurred in the days following the death of the late Queen Elizabeth II , when members of the Royal Family gathered at the palace after the monarch's coffin was brought there before being processed to Westminster Hall the next day for the lying in state.

As the Royal Family awaited the arrival of the coffin before an informal dinner, the two feuding couples were thrown together. According to the biography Charles II. New King. New Court. The Inside Story by author Robert Hardman, William and Kate extended a small olive branch, which would have been approved by Elizabeth II.
He wrote: "Inside the palace, all members of the Royal Family were there to welcome the Queen back to Royal headquarters for the last time, followed by an informal supper. Afterward, the Prince and Princess of Wales suggested that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex should attach their car to their police escort for the journey back to Windsor since they were all going the same way.
"It was only a small gesture (they would not be sharing a car) and nowhere near any sort of reconciliation. However, the late Queen would have approved."

The Queen's death happened just months before Harry and Meghan's explosive Netflix docuseries aired, in which they made shocking allegations about the Royal Family. The series did not spare William nor King Charles, depicting William as prone to "screaming and shouting" and accusing King Charles of lying.
However, it was Harry's comment in the docuseries that seemed to take a dig at Kate which a friend described as the "lowest of the low" for William. In the opening episode of the documentary, Harry said: "I think for so many people in the family, especially obviously the men, there can be a temptation or an urge to marry someone who would fit the mold as opposed to somebody who you perhaps are destined to be with."
In the book, it's claimed that insiders close to the Royal Family were convinced Harry was targeting William and Kate. As one confidant put it: "On top of all the other breaches of trust, here was Harry making a blatant attack on Catherine. For William, this was the lowest of the low."
