Meghan Markle and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge have been dogged by persistent rumours of a feud which seemed to be further fuelled after Kensington Palace announced Meghan and Prince Harry would receive their personal household upon moving to Windsor. Royal expert Victoria Arbiter claimed the sisters-in-law put gossip of a break in the Royal Family "behind them" but admitted the Duchess of Sussex will seek to "stand out" from Kate with her decision to snub the Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital in London to deliver her first child. Ms Arbiter suggested Meghan opted to have the royal baby somewhere else to avoid any further comparison with the Duchess of Cambridge.
Speaking to Today, the royal commentator said: "Meghan and Kate have moved way beyond this suggestion that there is a feud.
"With royal wives, it is a given that their lives are always going to be compared so anytime they can do something differently to stand alone and not deal with those comparisons, that seems quite sensible to me.:
While Kensington Palace has released no confirmations, it is believed Meghan Markle will deliver her child closer to her new residence with Prince Harry, Frogmore Cottage, in Windsor. Meghan would be the second royal to deliver at Frimley Park Hospital after Sophie, the Countess of Wessex, who had both her children at the Camberley hospital.
Ms Arbiter continued: "Diana and Kate, they delivered their babies at the Lindo Wing partly because the hospital is a good five-minute or so drive from Kensington Palace where they were living.
