KATE'S ''ROYAL LADDER'' MEGHAN

LONDON : Kate feels Meghan Markle used her to 'climb royal ladder'.

DUCHESS of Cambridge Kate Middleton feels that sister-in-law Meghan Markle used her to climb the royal ladder, according to a report in Us Weekly.

''Kate opened up about feeling like Meghan had used her to climb the royal ladder,'' a source told the publication. Meanwhile, Markle admitted that she had felt snubbed by Middleton.

The two worked through their issues on Christmas Day, which they celebrated with the Royal Family at Sandrighham House in Norfolk, England.

''Being under the same roof meant that they couldn't avoid each other,'' the sources told US magazine. [ Daily Times Monitor]
