- Kate Middleton is a ‘big hugger’ and warms greets guests she has never met
- Unnamed friend spoke to People in wake of Harry and Meghan’s Netflix show
- The Princess of Wales was also described by her friend as ‘warm and friendly’
- It follows Meghan Markle criticising the Royal Family for being formal
The Princess of Wales is ‘warm and friendly’ and meets everyone with a ‘big hug and a kiss’, a close friend has said.
Last week, Meghan Markle claimed in her bombshell Netflix documentary that her sister-in-law was ‘formal’ behind closed doors, and that Kate found her hugging ‘jarring’.
However, an unnamed friend has contradicted Meghan’s version of events, telling PEOPLE that Kate is in fact a ‘big hugger’.
‘She is warm and friendly and greets everyone with a big hug and kiss. It comes naturally to her to be like that,’ they said.
The Princess of Wales, 40, is a ‘big hugger’ and is renowned for warmly greeting guests she has never met, including this child aged three from Liverpool
It follows Meghan claiming the Royal Family act formally behind closed doors on her new Netflix docuseries.
‘Even when Will and Kate came over and I was meeting her for the first time I remember I was in ripped jeans, I was barefoot,’ she said.
The Duchess of Sussex added that she has ‘always been a hugger’ and did not realise how ‘jarring’ it was for ‘a lot of Brits’.
She added: ‘There is a forward-facing way of being and then you close the door and you relax now. But that formality carries over on both sides. And that was surprising to me.’

The news comes after sources claimed Prince William ‘won’t tolerate’ others speaking negatively about Prince Harry – despite feeling ‘anger and sadness’ over the Netflix documentary.
The pair are said to have had an ‘incredibly strained’ relationship after years of rows over Harry’s wife and her alleged treatment of staff, the couple’s decision to emigrate to America and the tonnes of ‘truth bombs’ the Sussexes have dropped in TV interviews watched by tens of millions of people around the world.
Despite the state of their current relationship, insiders told The Telegraph that Prince William remains protective over the Duke of Sussex and won’t allow a bad word to be said about him.
One source said: ‘Working together will never happen. But can they be brothers again? You’ve got to hope.’

It comes as Prince Harry last night faced a fresh wave of backlash after sensationally claiming lies were told ‘to protect’ his brother William – in a move royal experts said would leave his late mother Princess Diana ‘appalled at his disloyalty’

Prince Harry faced a wave of backlash after sensationally claiming lies were told ‘to protect’ his brother William – in a move royal experts said would leave his late mother Princess Diana ‘appalled at his disloyalty’.
The Duke of Sussex’s latest bitter broadside against the Royal Family came in a new trailer of his and his wife, Meghan’s, incendiary Netflix tell-all.
And it sparked a vicious response on Monday evening, with one royal expert, Tom Bower saying Harry’s ‘treacherous collaboration’ with the streaming giant had ‘destroyed his relationship with William’, as insiders dismiss jibes from the Sussexes that they were victims of ‘institutional gaslighting’.
Mr Bower, who has authored multiple books about the royals, also rubbished suggestions the Duke and Duchess had their security withdrawn before Megxit, calling it ‘shockingly untrue’.
