Britain's Chelsy Davy is reportedly furious after being ignored by Kate Middleton.
The blonde beauty - who recently rekindled her romance with Prince Harry - has told friends Prince William's girlfriend has been very cold to her since she returned to royal circles.
One told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "It's very strange because of all the people in the world, Kate is the only one who knows what it's like to be in her shoes.
"She'd like to stay friends but she isn't going to beg. She thinks Kate gets put under a lot of pressure by William and the people around him. She's trying to be just like William's family. She's even too royal to go to work.
"One thing she didn't miss while she and Harry had their break from each other was all the backbiting and gossip around his family. She just wants to get on with her own life and has no ambitions to be the slightest bit royal or grand herself."
But Chelsy - who split from Harry in January - says she's been overwhelmed how welcome she's been made to feel by other members of the royal family, including Harry's cousin Princess Beatrice.
A source said: "Chelsy has been pleasantly surprised at how nice most people have been.
"She's never been close to Bea but she came up and gave her a big hug once they were inside."
