Meghan Markle is "genuinely happy" for Kate Middleton following the news she has finished her chemotherapy treatment .
The Princess of Wales had been undergoing treatment for an undisclosed type of cancer and announced in a video released last week that her treatment has come to an end. However, Kate stressed she is still recovering from the cancer.
A source has now said the Duchess of Sussex is "incredibly relieved" that Kate is doing better. However, they admitted Meghan and her husband Prince Harry have "complicated" feelings in regards to Kate's video update.
"There's still an element of guilt that she and Harry are grappling with. They both have regrets over going so public with their complaints about the family and Kate in particular," the source claimed.
Speaking to Closer Magazine , they added: "When they spoke out, Meghan felt they had no other choice, but now that time has passed and those heightened feelings have cooled off, she realizes things could have been handled more discreetly. It's not something she likes to dwell on, but of course watching Kate's video brought it all to the surface."
The source also suggested Meghan is upset over the different treatment of her and Kate. They said: "Any time Meghan tries to open up and share her truth, the way Kate did in her video, she seems to get slammed for it."
The source said Meghan feels it's "very unfair" but can't see a way out of it. They added: "The video has left her feeling like she's backed into a corner where there's no way she can have that rapport with the public that Kate does."
The source did say Meghan is "genuinely happy that Kate is better, of course." In a new video, Kate said: "As the summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment. The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family.
"Life as you know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown. The cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you."
She shared the emotional toll her cancer has taken, stating: "With humility, it also brings you face to face with your own vulnerabilities in a way you have never considered before, and with that, a new perspective on everything. This time has above all reminded William and me to reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life, which so many of us often take for granted. Of simply loving and being loved."
Kate expressed her gratitude to fans: "William and I are so grateful for the support we have received and have drawn great strength from all those who are helping us at this time. Everyone's kindness, empathy and compassion has been truly humbling.
"To all those who are continuing their own cancer journey I remain with you, side by side, hand in hand. Out of darkness, can come light - so let that light shine bright."
