Meghan V Kate: What feud? Royal source reveals duchesses share WhatsApp group
MEGHAN Markle and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, are not involved in any feud and even have a group chat with their husbands, Prince Harry and Prince William, a close friend of the Royal Family revealed.
Piers Morgan says Meghan and Kate rift is down to 'background'
The royal Fab Four are more similar to us than we think as, like most young relatives, they send texts to each other in a group chat, according to a friend of the family. The source told US Weekly the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have a "family text chain” with the Sussexes. This fuelled assumptions Zara Tindall’s husband, Mike, was speaking about Harry and William when earlier this year he revealed he loves using popular messenger application WhatsApp and that "a few of Zara's cousins are on Whatsapp groups".
Zara, who is Princess Anne’s daughter, is the first cousin of the Dukes of Cambridge and Sussex.
British royals are rarely seen using a mobile phone, but it is believed the Queen carries one in her iconic handbag.
Royal biographer Penny Junor told the Daily Telegraph: "She does have a mobile and she speaks to her grandchildren on it.
“I don’t know whether it’s a smartphone though.”

And Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, was spotted by eagle-eyed royal fans carrying an iPhone X upon getting off the plane in Melbourne during her first Royal tour Down Under with Prince Harry.
The source also dismissed claims there is a raging feud between the two duchesses, saying "there is no fighting going on between Kate and Meghan".
They added: "The ‘feud’ is definitely being played up.
“Are they the best of friends? No.

“Do they speak every waking second? No.
“Do they hate each other? Absolutely not."
Rumours of a rift between Kate and Meghan started when Kensington Palace announced the Sussexes were moving out of the grounds of the palace to go live in Windsor, at Frogmore Cottage.
Various sources claimed Meghan and Kate first clashed over the festive period spent in Sandringham last Christmas and later in the run up to Meghan and Harry’s Royal Wedding.
It was also argued Prince William didn’t welcome Meghan into the Royal Family as warmly as Prince Harry would have wanted, raising doubts about their relationship.
One insider said Harry is notoriously protective when it comes to Meghan.
They said: "Harry won't take any criticism of Meghan and he is so sensitive that he often sees criticism or negativity when there isn't any."
And rumours of the Duchess of Sussex being demanding with the staff of royal palaces were fuelled by the resignations of two of her personal assistants.
