Kate Middleton has shown the world that Meghan Markle was wrong about her — she's a hugger. However, some felt that it was an "overkill," according to a report.
Kate Middleton's Hugs Reportedly Feels Orchestrated
The Princess of Wales has been seen hugging people. She gave Captain Preeet Chandi a warm embrace to congratulate her for her record-breaking expedition in Antarctica. She also gave a former teacher a big hug.

Markle implied in an episode of Harry & Meghan on Netflix that Middleton was not a hugger when she recounted their first meeting. Markle described herself as a "hugger", and she didn't know that it can be "really jarring for a lot of Brits."
However, an anonymous source defended Prince William's wife. The tipster told People that Middleton is a "big hugger." The Princess of Wales is reportedly warm and friendly, and she greets everyone with a big hug and kiss, which is natural for her.
Do you agree that Kate Middleton's hugging spree is a response to Meghan Markle's statement on Netflix? Do you agree that it's already an "overkill"?
