The Sussexes plunged the monarchy into crisis just weeks ago when they accused the royal family of racism and the institution of failing to support Meghan when she was suicidal.
Kate was publicly singled out by Meghan in the primetime television show as having made her cry in the run-up to her wedding.
It was a disagreement over flower girl dresses and Meghan said the Palace failed to correct reports which said she left Kate in tears.
Kate has been suggested as a potential peacemaker who might be able to heal the ongoing rift between William and his brother the Duke of Sussex.
Harry appeared to smile briefly at his sister-in-law as the three talked together after the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral, with Kate then stepping back which allowed the brothers to continue walking with one another.
Last Friday was yet another big day for the Cambridges - their son, Prince Louis, turned three. To mark his birthday, the Duke and Duchess released a photo of the young royal on his first day of nursery school.
Louis has followed in the footsteps of big sister Princess Charlotte, aged five, who also attended the same nursery.
The two-week period of royal mourning following the death of Prince Philip ended on Friday, allowing Kate and William to release the images of Prince Louis and themselves.
