A royal expert says the Queen may have more in common with Meghan Markle than with Kate Middleton .
Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine, has given her verdict on the monarch’s relationship with the wives of grandsons William and Harry.
She says that the Queen ‘treads carefully’ with American Meghan but that she might actually have more in common with her than with Kate.
Ingrid told Sun Online : “The Queen admires Kate tremendously but does not have an intimate relationship with her as they don’t have much in common.
“I think the Queen and Kate have a more serious relationship as obviously Kate holds all the Queen’s hope for the future and she would not want to do anything to upset that.
“I can’t see what she would have in common with Kate apart from her royal duties.

However, Ingrid’s view differs when it comes to Meghan.
She said: “With Meghan she would tread very carefully and do her best to make her feel at home.
“They have a love of dogs in common and Meghan knows how to make her laugh.”
Both royal women have accompanied the head of the Firm on visits over the years, she always looks very happy in their company.
The last time all three were together in public was Trooping the Colour, where Meghan and Kate joined the Queen on the Buckingham Palace balcony to wave to well-wishers who came out in force to celebrate her birthday.
Kate will often sit or stand closer to the Queen at official events, but this is purely because of levels of seniority as William is higher up the line of succession than his brother Harry.
