Kate Middleton

A new reports claims to shed more light on the alleged feud between Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle.

And this one shines a spotlight on Middleton's anger at Markle for the first time to date.

It's Meghan Markle's first holiday season as a member of the royal family -- and we think it's safe to say this is not how she imagined it would play out.

In recent weeks, much ink has been spilled over the rumored feud between Meghan and Kate Middleton, with several sources indicating that the situation seems to be escalating.

Feud, schmeud.

Rivalry, schmialry.

For the record, we do not know if the rumored rivalry between Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle is real.

But we do now know this:

Kate Middleton has broken her silence, folks.

And she's done so just as rumors of a rivalry with Meghan Markle have reached their loudest, most fevered pitch to date.

From the moment Meghan Markle married Prince Harry, there's been a mountain of speculation over the former actress' relationship with Kate Middleton.

At first, it was widely rumored that there was an intense rivalry between Meghan and Kate.

Stodgy? Stoic? Serious?

More like... playful! Fun-loving! And totally adorable!

Ever since Meghan Markle married Prince Harry back in May, the former actress has been the toast of London.

In fact, you could call her the Queen of the British Empire, were it not for the fact that that title is already held by an iconic nonagenarian who doesn't seem to keen on the idea of relinquishing it anytime soon.

Brace yourselves, celebrity gossip lovers.

It's about to get really doggone cute in here!

Even though even Prince Charles knows Meghan Markle is cooler than Kate Middleton, both Duchesses and their Princely husbands are as thick as thieves.

But that may be about to change after Meghan gives birth.

Well, it's official.

Pretty much everyone on the planet agrees that Meghan Markle is the coolest of the Royals.
