EXCUSE US.
Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton went out together on Saturday to watch the Women’s Wimbledon Final and, on the surface, appeared to be getting along just fine.
But that’s exactly what feuding royals want you to think.
Ever since Meghan Markle had her big wedding and made Kate cry (ALLEGEDLY), there’s been rumours that the two Duchesses hate each other.
The root of their feud is remarkably unclear but we believe it has something to do with what we have termed The Charlotte Bridesmaid Dress Incident For Which We Have No Evidence.
According to a palace insider, Meghan and Kate had a heated argument about the fit of Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress, which left Kate in tears.
From there, Meghan was referred to as a "volatile dictator" which sounds excessive but we'll allow it.
But when the two appeared at Wimbledon we saw it for ourselves.
The glares. The hand gestures. The pointing.
Here's our highly accurate body language reading of exactly what happened on Saturday at Wimbledon.
Ahem.
First, as with any uncomfortable outing, it was important they acknowledge the awkwardness.
Once it was established that Charlotte was doing well, thanks, and wasn't permanently traumatised by her hysterical aunty Meghan, the two seemed to relax.
But their good spirits didn't last long, before two ladies seated nearby decided to remind them of the gossip, quoting palace insiders that had spoken to the Daily Mail.
Uh oh.
"Oi you said shit about me?" Kate said to Meghan, but with a polite smile on her face for the cameras. "Charlotte was a diva in the lead up to my wedding, Kate, and you know it," Meghan replied.
That's when the pettiness began to unfold.
Kate alerted the paparazzi to Meghan's whereabouts.
Before taking aim at Serena Williams.
That's when Pippa Middleton emerged from the ground with absolutely no warning.
And Kate's behaviour considerably worsened.
Then Kate grew increasingly frustrated as her attempts at friendship failed to materialise.
The three women were then asked to leave the premises immediately and told not to speak to each other as they did so.
Even though, upon first glance, the images from the event might look fairly innocuous, it doesn't take much to see that these were clearly two feuding women who were very badly behaved.
Because, after all, what's the alternative? That they're two women from the same family who happen to get along just fine?
Unlikely.

Those "two ladies seated nearby" happen to be Martina Navratilova and her wife.
lol
OK - who do I sue for water damage to my keyboard?
I’d like to know the back story of why she’s alright with sitting near people at this game, but was pictured with no people at the previous game.
Meghan's sitting in the royal box there - no poors allowed. When she literally had the decks cleared in the match she attended earlier in the week (note, something other royals did not find necessary under the same circumstances), that was on another court without a royal box.
Damage control by Buck Palace.
Poor diet? I mean that can get really noxious for bystanders.
I'm just putting in the miles on the rumour mill
