Tensions between sisters-in-law Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton have been bubbling ever since the former actress married Prince Harry in 2018, according to some loose-lipped royal watchers.

An infamous incident allegedly occurred when the Duchess of Sussex, 41, claimed Kate, also 41, made her burst into tears just days before her nuptials at St. George’s Chapel.

Five years on, their apparently glacial relationship is still making headlines, and Meghan believes that her sister-in-law and her husband, Prince William, 41, still haven’t taken responsibility for their hostile actions.

“Meghan feels they’ve never been held accountable for the way they treated her when she was part of the royals, have never apologised and have seemingly got away with it,” an unnamed source dished, according to The Mirror.

Meghan is also allegedly shocked at the lack of criticism of the Prince and Princess of Wales.

Harry and Meghan have hyped numerous projects — such as the Invictus Games founder’s memoir Spare and the duo’s Netflix documentary series — in which they spoke out against the United Kingdom’s royal family.

Another insider added that Meghan was “convinced” the public would be on her side regarding the feud with the Firm.

However, “that hasn’t happened,” according to the self-proclaimed insider.

“This isn’t how she envisioned things would turn out, but Meghan knows the truth and will tell anyone who will listen that Kate had an edge [over] her.”

A source close to Meghan and Harry denied the report to The Post.

Representatives for the couple declined to comment.

Meanwhile, the big wedding debacle of ’18 started when Kate reportedly told Meghan there was an issue with her daughter Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress.

This allegedly led to a series of sobs between the two women.

It was first alleged at the time that it was the Los Angeles native who made Kate cry, however, in a 2021 bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan attempted to set the record straight.

She claimed that it was in fact Kate who made her shed a few tears.

“The reverse happened,” the Tig creator told the TV queen in the joint chat with Harry.

“A few days before the wedding, she was upset about something pertaining to — the issue was correct, about the flower girl dresses and it made me cry and it really hurt my feelings,” she said.

Meghan continued: “And I don’t say that to be disparaging to anyone because it was a really hard week of the wedding and she was upset about something. But she owned it and she apologised and she brought me flowers and a note apologising and she did what I would do if I knew that I hurt someone.”

“I’ve forgiven her,” she added of the aftermath where she buried the hatchet with Kate.

In Spare, Harry also recalled the wedding incident, writing that he found Meghan crying on the floor after Kate almost demanded that all of the bridesmaid dresses be remade just a few days before the marriage ceremony.
