Playing nice for the cameras?

Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton haven't been spotted together since Christmas day, but that changed yesterday when both royals attended the Queen's party for Prince Charles with their husbands Prince Harry and Prince William. They certainly didn't seem too chummy with each other, though, as the one picture they're in together shows them as far away from each other as possible!

The pregnant Duchess of Sussex stole the show in a brocade dress and white coat, while the Duchess of Cambridge went for a more demure shin-length pastel button up frock.

The former Suits star hasn't had an easy time with the media since joining the family, and it appears it's only going to get worse if she doesn't stop stealing the spotlight.

"Meghan cannot behave like a Hollywood celebrity as a member of the Royal Family. She cannot set the agenda, she has to toe the line and support the monarch and heir. I don't think she realises that yet," royal expert Anna Pasternak told The Sun.

"Meghan is like a grenade that's been thrown into this very archaic system and there are explosions going on, which I think will continue. Like Wallis, Meghan is a whip-smart, savvy woman but she needs to look out. She will be slapped down, no question, and that's happening already. The backlash against her has already started," the source added.

It ain't easy wearing a tiara!
