Even though Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have bashed the royal family in recent months, it seems as if Prince William and Kate Middleton have put their differences aside for now. The couples, who used to be known as The Fab Four, were once very close but are now separated by an ocean and a tell-all interview that spared no punches.
However, the Duke and the Duchess of Cambridge are still putting family first. Wills and Kate, who have three children themselves, know how special this time is for Harry and Meghan and have seemingly reached out to them. A source confirmed to Us Weekly that they were "informed about the birth and have sent Lilibet a gift." It seems as if they wanted to give Lili something more tangible than a message on a social media page. While we don't know exactly what the gift might be at this point, we're sure, as with anything royal, it's something pretty posh. As for the rift between Harry and William, let's hope that Lilibet's arrival can spark the beginning of healing conversations and a repaired relationship.
