The Sun reports that while Meghan jetted back to Canada last week, she missed Kate’s 38th birthday on January 9.

But after Meghan and Harry’s bombshell last week, the rift is reported to be bigger than ever.
The newspaper also quotes a source in The Sunday People, who told them that the Sussexes went to Sir Elton John with their news before they told the Queen of their intentions.
The source said: “Sir Elton is constantly at the end of the phone for Harry and Meghan and speaks to them every day.
He is an inspiration to them and has been an almost motherly figure to them throughout this process.
“He is an inspiration to them and has been an almost motherly figure to them throughout this process.
