Kate Middleton has reportedly offered Meghan Markle some words of advice after a difficult first year of becoming a royal.
The Duchess of Cambridge is said to have told her sister-in-law that "every royal goes through a bad patch" with press scrutiny and that she should "move on and get through it".
"Catherine has told Meghan that every royal – including herself – goes through a bad patch with the press but the important thing is to learn by mistakes, move on and get through it," author and former royal correspondent Phil Dampier told the Express.
