How Meghan Markle And Kate Middleton ‘Rule’ The Royal Family

Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton may not have royal blood, but it appears the duo are doing their best to rule their royal family.

According to a spread in Life & Style Magazine’s Dec. 3 print issue, the 37-year-old Duchess of Sussex and her 36-year-old sister-in-law, the Duchess of Cambridge, are the leaders when it comes to Mountbatten-Windsor get-togethers.

With the royals busy schedules, the magazine shared that the family, including Britain’s Prince Harry and Prince William’s father Prince Charles, and his wife, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, try to have Sunday lunch together often with their daughters-in-law to catch up. When they all come together, it’s Meghan and Kate who usually cook, according to the magazine, and “laughingly say they pretty much run the palace these days.”

“The lunch isn’t as formal as you’d think,” an insider shared. “Kate and Meghan actually take turns putting their culinary skills to good use. They both whip up a fabulous meal of chicken or beef, Yorkshire pudding, and vegetables.”

While the royal twosome is said to be getting along swimmingly now, they may not have also had the best relationship. Revisit Meghan's rumored royal feuds here.
