MISER-ABLE Duchess Meghan is back-pedaling big-time after seven years of bitchy attacks on Britain's royal family — and now Prince Harry's worried wife is making secret phone calls to her sister-in-law Princess Kate in a desperate bid to salvage her battered reputation and her spiraling hubby's mental health, courtiers confide.

"Meghan's post-palace life has fallen short of her lofty expectations," an insider explains. "Her and Harry's $20 million Spotify podcast deal went bust, their Netflix Polo documentary was trashed by critics, and her fledgling lifestyle brand — American Riviera Orchard — has stumbled out of the gate!"

Meanwhile, Kate, the beloved Princess of Wales, has seen the public embrace her even more as she bravely battled cancer in 2024 and shared the joyful news of her eventual remission.

Sources snitch the California-born Duchess of Sussex, 43, has enviously watched from the sidelines in the U.S., realizing she and her dunce duke made a major mistake by repeatedly trashing his influential kin!

As GLOBE previously reported, after the Sussexes ditched palace duties in 2020 to chase Hollywood dollars, half-Black Meghan suggested that some of her in-laws were racists for questioning the skin color of the couple's unborn son, while Harry called his father, King Charles, cold and unfeeling and accused his stepmother, Queen Camilla, of backstab# him to polish her own star!
