Kate Middleton is ready to put the rift to rest.
The Princess of Wales, 40, is hoping to mend her relationship with Meghan Markle, also 40, during her upcoming visit to the United States, according to Us Weekly.
“Once Kate and William’s Boston plans are set in stone, she’s planning to extend an olive branch to Meghan in a bid to reunite the brothers and heal the rift,” a source told the outlet, adding that Middleton believes it’s what Princess Diana and the late Queen Elizabeth II “would’ve wanted.”
“[Prince] Harry and Meghan are knee-deep with their hectic schedules, but Meghan is willing to put in the effort as long as dates don’t clash,” the insider continued, noting how both sets of royals will be on the East coast in December.
Prince William, 40, and Middleton are set to attend the second annual Earthshot Prize awards ceremony in Boston on Dec. 2 — marking their first trip to the US since 2014.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will also be traveling east for the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights (RFKHR) organization’s Ripple of Hope Award Gala in New York around the same time.
The couple was named one of this year’s Ripple of Hope Award laureates for their “work on racial justice, mental health, and other social impact initiatives through their Archewell Foundation,” according to a press release.
Tensions have been high between the two women ever since the “Suits” alum reportedly made Middleton “burst into tears” ahead of her 2018 wedding to Prince Harry, 38.
However, during the couple’s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, Markle claimed it was the other way around.
“A few days before the wedding, [Kate] was upset about flower girl dresses and it made me cry. It really hurt my feelings,” she told Winfrey. “It was a really hard week of the wedding. And she was upset about something, but she owned it, and she apologized. And she brought me flowers and a note, apologizing.”
Following the incident — and years of speculated disagreements — the Sussex’s decision to step away from their role as senior royals in 2020 only further complicated their relationship.
Despite leaving their royal roles, the estranged family all came together last month to mourn the loss of Queen Elizabeth II following the end of her 70-year reign.
For the first time since 2020, the “Fab Four” were seen together for a walkabout around Windsor Castle — yet the reunion wasn’t enough to ease the tensions.
According to body language experts, Middleton shot icy glares at Markle to “freeze” her out during the public display of unity.
“On numerous occasions, Meghan looked over at Kate, however, the gaze wasn’t reciprocated,” Katia Loisal told Australia’s Seven News, adding that Middleton appeared to “look through” Markle instead.
While the two women may be ready to smooth things over, sources say William “simply can’t forgive” his little brother quite yet.
