Kate found participating in a walkabout with Meghan and Harry "one of the hardest things she has had to do", according to a royal commentator.
Robert Jobson, author of a new book titled Our King Charles III: The Man and the Monarch Revealed, claimed that sources told him that while the four royals looked united on the day, it was that not the case.
Jobson said that according to sources, the image of unity was an “illusion”.
He wrote: "Catherine later admitted to a senior royal that, such was the ill feeling between the two couples, the joint walkabout was one of the hardest things she’d ever had to do."

It comes as Meghan Markle and Prince Harry look set to be left in the Prince and Princess of Wales's shadow at King Charles's Coronation, according to a royal commentator.
Dr Tessa Dunlop stated that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will not be allowed to stand out at the Coronation.
However, as senior working members of the Royal Family, Prince William and Kate will be allowed to remind the public they are the future King and Queen.
Dr Dunlop said: "Causing maximum angst is the vexed question of the Sussexes; will they attend the big day and if so in what capacity? Historical precedent doesn't bode well.
"After his own abdication and fall from grace Edward VIII attended neither the 1937 coronation of his brother George VI nor his niece Elizabeth's in 1953.
"However in our changed times with a father-King who wants both his sons by his side, expect to see Harry there but minus a coronet and robe.
"With the exception of Prince William, at this Coronation peers of the realm will not be paying homage to the new King so it is unlikely that Harry will have to go down on bended knee.
"Likewise if Meghan attends, any Coronation finery will be entirely her own. Expect very few to stand on ceremony for the Duchess of Sussex."
Meghan and Harry have not yet confirmed they will attend the Coronation

King Edward VIII ascended to the throne in January 1936 following the death of King George V.
However, Edward chose to step down as the UK's head of state in December 1936 to marry Wallis Simpson when he was asked to pick between the two.
The pair married in 1937 and were granted the titles of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor but Edward did not retain the power and status he once had.
