Meghan Markle has reportedly been "warned" by insiders to "watch what she says" about Kate Middleton if she speaks anymore about her life while she was a part of the royal family.
It was previously speculated that the Duchess of Sussex would follow in her husband's footsteps and write her own bombshell memoir but these claims were quickly shut down.
More recently, it's been said that Meghan and her team are pitching ideas to Netflix following the huge success of their explosive Netflix docuseries last year.
Before the release of Harry & Meghan, the Duchess made allegations of racism and bullying against the Firm during the couple's 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, the Mirror reports.
Following her claims, the royal family released a statement in response to the allegations and it was recently revealed that Kate was the one who pushed for the infamous line: "Recollections may vary" to be included.
Source claims that the Princess of Wales is now "not afraid to fight fire with fire, having already broken the golden royal rule of 'Never complain, never explain.'"
They added that she is "fiercely protective" of her family and she's willing to fight for them even if it makes her less popular with certain people."
The source told Closer Magazine: "In this case she felt a polite but strong message needed to be sent back to the Sussexes - namely that there were other interpretations and views about certain events and instances which the world world needed to know in no uncertain terms".
The insider then issued a warning towards Meghan as she advised that she makes sure to be "extremely careful with accusations" in the wake of her new potential projects and reported memoir.
The source continued: "Kate won't hesitate to keep sticking up for the royals as well as herself.
"She's shown an incredible amount of tolerance and bitten her lip but even she can only be pushed so far and this latest revelation is seen as a clear message for Meghan to back off and watch what she says about Kate moving forward.
"The bottom line here is Kate isn't afraid to take the gloves off and play dirty if she has to. It's about self-preservation and not being walked all over."
