While many had hoped that Princess Kate and Meghan Markle would become sisters-in-law-slash-besties, that relationship was never truly meant to be. In his new biography, William and Catherine: The Intimate Inside Story, by The Mirror's royal editor Russell Myers reveals Princess Kate’s initial feelings after meeting Meghan Markle for the first time. Prince Harry reportedly introduced his then-girlfriend to his late grandmother and his brother shortly after the news broke about their relationship.
Shortly after those first introductions, Princess Kate met Meghan and found her “overly-friendly” with a “touch of California.” That three-word summary—”touch of California”—carries plenty of connotations when you’re British. Prince Harry felt that his family never took Meghan seriously, simply because she was an American actress from Los Angeles.
