A royal source has alleged to a US publication the real reason why Meghan Markle and Prince Harry quit the royal family to move to Canada in a decision that sent shockwaves across the globe. Speaking to In Touch magazine, the source claimed things had become very uncomfortable as there was intense friction between Meghan and Kate Middleton. Now, royal fans are bewildered after the publication's screaming frontpage headline that claims Kate 'made Meghan's life hell'. 

"Meghan was fed up with the lies at the palace and how she was being treated – especially by Kate," the source reportedly told the magazine. "She made Meghan’s life hell by treating her like an outcast and silently just looking on her as the press criticized her sister-in-law at every turn. Kate never welcomed her into the family."

According to the publication, Kate snubbed Meghan on a very personal level. "She apparently didn’t want to hold Archie and Kate rejected Meghan’s repeated attempts to get the cousins together," the source told the magazine, saying Kate never really liked the former actress.

"It’s obvious that they will never be friends or even have a cordial relationship. They tolerated each other until they couldn’t anymore," the source added.

That said, Buckingham Palace is yet to address the tabloid magazine's sensational allegations. Besides, they are also yet to comment on Kate's attitude towards Archie as alleged by the publication. Nonetheless, one royal insider has dismissed the accusations outright, insisting that a doting mother like Kate would never act in such a way and that the alleged notion is "too silly for words."

However, it was also reported how the decision to step back as senior royals did not come from Meghan, but Prince Harry -- after having "been unhappy for years" and becoming a "lost soul."

"He’s been waiting to leave and Meghan wholeheartedly supported his plan," the source added.
