The Duchess of Sussex has reportedly called her sister-in-law amid photo editing scandal, but Kate is unlikely to be receptive of Meghan's reconciliation attempt due to potential backlash from Prince William

AceShowbiz - Following Princess Kate Middleton's recent involvement in a Photoshop controversy, royal author Tom Quinn claims that Meghan Markle has reached out to Kensington Palace several times, attempting to mend the rift between the estranged sisters-in-law.
According to Quinn, Markle is genuinely concerned about Kate's health and well-being, but she also sees an opportunity to shed her image as an outsider constantly criticizing the Royal Family. However, royal expert Jennie Bond believes it is unlikely that Kate is receptive to reconciliation talks while she focuses on recovering physically and mentally from her abdominal surgery.
Quinn adds that Kate would likely acknowledge Markle's gestures politely but would be hesitant to accept them as a sincere attempt at reconciliation. The Princess of Wales is wary of potential backlash from the Royal Family, particularly from Prince William, who has been estranged from Harry and Meghan since their departure from the UK.
Markle, who has spoken out against online bullying, could potentially become an ally for Kate, according to PR expert Ryan McCormick. He suggests that Meghan should publicly defend Kate and offer guidance to help her navigate the current crisis.
Despite Markle's efforts, royal author Tom Quinn believes that Kate is reluctant to trust her. He claims that the palace fears Meghan may use any perceived rejection as an opportunity to attack the Royal Family publicly. Meghan and Harry have previously made critical statements about the institution, including a Netflix docuseries detailing their struggles within it.
The outcome of Markle's outreach remains uncertain, but it is clear that the ongoing tension between the two royal couples casts a shadow over the image of the Royal Family.
