Meghan Markle has been left 'hugely deflated' by Kate Middleton's high‑profile return to overseas duties in Italy this week, according to a royal insider, who claims the Princess of Wales' first foreign trip since her cancer diagnosis has reignited tensions between the two women and fuelled fears of a renewed rift.
