Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are reportedly desperate to meet Duchess Catherine when she visits Malta next month.
The Hollywood couple - who raise children Maddox, 13, Pax, 10, Zahara, nine, Shiloh, eight, and five-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox, together - are hoping for a private audience with the British royal when she visits Malta next month.
Brad and Angelina are said to still feel bad about accidentally snubbing the duchess by pulling out of an event attended by her and husband Prince William - with who she has son Prince George, 12 months - during their royal tour of North America in 2011.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "It's bothered Brad and Ange ever since but they're hoping to make amends now."
During their North American tour, Catherine - who was known as Kate Middleton before her marriage - struck up a friendship with Reese Witherspoon and it was claimed during her pregnancy that she had sought advice from the 'Legally Blonde' star, who has children Ava, 14, Deacon, 10, and Tennessee, 22 months.
A source previously said: "They have developed a very strong bond.
"Kate knows Reese would never reveal anything about their talks and Reese knows what it's like to live in the spotlight. They have a lot in common.
"Kate talks to Reese about all of her questions and concerns. She has become kind of an older sister Kate can confide in."
