“Apparently, Kate also schooled Meghan in some of those English conventions which you may not think about as an arriving American…
“…all those unspoken rules that you need to follow if you’re a royal.”
She adds: “And that makes me think that when it’s her time to be Queen, she herself is going to be kind and warm and open to successive generations.”

They apparently had a dispute over flower girl dresses.
In March of this year, Meghan discussed the alleged incident and claimed Kate had made her cry.
She said during her Oprah Winfrey interview: “A few days before the wedding, [Kate] was upset about something pertaining – yes, the issue was correct – about flower girl dresses.
“It made me cry, and it really hurt my feelings.”
Earlier this month, a source claimed Meghan had reached out to Kate.
