Ahead of the highly publicised royal rift, Meghan Markle seemed to have a close relationship with her sister-in-law, the Duchess of Cambridge.
They carried out a series of joint engagements, including a day out at Wimbledon, when Meghan found her feet within the royal family.
After realising that Meghan was someone special, Prince Harry was reportedly keen to introduce her to Kate, who he has always been extremely close to.
